Have you ever wanted to get that natural red hair look without putting all of the potentially toxic and damaging chemicals? Try this home made recipe that is chemical free and easy on your wallet. Follow these seven steps and you can have that great red hair look. Your going to need a few items that you can pick up at any grocery store:

Rose hip or clove tea or black coffee
Shampoo
Conditioner
A Shower

This will work best on lighter colored hair, but even darker ones will work if you leave the product in for a little longer. Here are the instructions

Brew the clove or rose hip tea, if you decide to use black coffee make sure it is a strong brew.
Let the brew cool completely before use, you do not want to put boiling hot coffee on your head!
Shampoo the hair to clean off any oils or grime and rinse well.
Pour the mixture onto your hair, it is best to make sure the liquid does not land on any tile or shower curtains as it will leave a stain. Try and re-capture as much as the liquid as possible using a metal bowl. This method does not have the consistancy of regular hair dyes and will run through the hair quickly. Repeat this 10-15 times.
Let the mixture sit in your hair for 20 minutes.
Wash the mixture out thoroughly and then add conditioner and style your hair as normal.

Enjoy your beautiful all natural red hair!!

Rise of the Redheads

Rise of the Redheads? It may seem so because we are everywhere latley. Be it Karen Elson from the White Stripes, Ginger faced Conan O’Brian or Alan Mually the red haired CEO of Ford. Many people felt bad for their redheaded brethern when they were younger, but it seems to have changed.

Redheads have often been though of as stubbotn like Nancy Drew who never let a mystery win or sassy like Kathy Griffin or even adventurous like 2010 Winter Games gold-medalist Shaun White. Red-haired woman often get billed as sex symbols like Christina Hendricks, Ann-Margret and Julia Roberts. Its always been dissapointing to me personally that men with redhair never get such an honor. Could you imagine a redheaded member of the beatles? It just wouldnt have worked. Instead we get Carrot Top or Howdy Doody.

Hair colouring products are also releasing many shades stacked with reds. The Matrix Dream Age brand of hair dye has six of its 10 new colours made up of warm colours like gold, orange and copper. Some hair salons are even reporting a higher number of visits looking to turn their hair red. Aaron Micheal a stylist at Cole Street Salon in Birmingham says he now sees two clients a week that want to go red rather then the one or two a month a couple years ago.

If you’re feeling a little down, isn’t being a hot, sexy redhead a little more inspiring?
