This rinse will bring beautiful highlights to naturally fair hair or revive your existing highlights
for a sunny, summery look.

1. Boil 1 cup of water and steep the tea bags for fifteen minutes.


2. Add yogurt and lemon oil to the chamomile tea and mix thoroughly.


3. Apply the mixture to dry hair, working through to the ends. Cover with a non-PVC plastic
   shower cap and relax for twenty minutes. Shampoo your hair as usual.

Alternatively, you can add 1 cup of dry chamomile flowers to 3 cups of boiling water and simmer on
low heat for fifteen minutes to prepare a concentrated chamomile infusion. You can add a pinch of
vitamin C to act as a mild preservative and store it in a spray bottle in the refrigerator for up to one
month. You can use this infusion as a leave-on conditioner: simply spray evenly on freshly washed
hair and air dry or blow dry as usual.

Chocolate Brunette Hair Rinse

2 cups purified water (do not use mineral water)

5 tablespoons dark roast ground coffee

1 ounce black chocolate

Yield:

4 ounces

This rinse will not ruin your highlights but instead will make your brown color deeper and more
vibrant. Do not use a coffeemaker to prepare the rinse, as the concentration of coffee won’t be
strong enough.

1. Boil the ground coffee in two cups of water in a shallow pan for 10 minutes.


2. Add the chocolate while the coffee is hot. Let the mixture cool and carefully soak your hair
   with the flavorful blend. Beware of the spills!


3. Cover with a non-PVC plastic shower cap, wait for 10 minutes, rinse off, and shampoo as
   usual.
