Easy, fast and natural, isn't it?
Repeat this rinse as often as you want, until you get the shade you want.
You can keep the mixture cool for several weeks.
For deeper, more coppery highlights, use red onions.
You don't even need to use henna which requires special maintenance and which is sometimes difficult to dose.
Additional advice
This trick is ideal for reusing onion peels. So when you cook, don't throw them away!
They will be used to create this natural coloring bath.
Don't peel onions just for this trick, but freeze your peels and take them out when you've had enough.
Why does it work?
Onions have more or less red pigments that will be absorbed by your hair.
They will give them beautiful natural reflections very gently without using chemical coloring.
This pigment is called quercetin.
In addition, this rinse strengthens your hair thanks to the nutrients contained in the onion.
