Can I use tea to dye my hair?

Published in Hair Dyeing 2 mins read

Yes, you can use tea to dye your hair. Tea, especially black tea, contains tannins that can help to darken your hair color. This method is best for subtle changes and temporary results. You can use tea to add richness to your natural hair color or to gradually darken your hair over time. For example, black tea can be used to darken grey hair.

Here are some ways that people use tea to dye their hair:

  • Brew a strong batch of tea and use the cooled liquid to rinse your hair.
  • Soak a towel in tea and wrap it around your hair for a longer treatment.
  • Apply the tea directly to your hair with a spray bottle and leave it in for several hours.

Remember that tea dyeing won't drastically change your hair color. If you're a blonde, don't expect to have black hair after using tea to dye your hair. However, it can provide a subtle change that can enhance your natural color.

Here are some additional points to consider:

  • Choose a good quality tea without any artificial colors or chemicals.
  • The darker the tea, the more intense the color change.
  • You can experiment with different types of tea to find the one that best suits your hair color.
