#Dye your hair with henna. This trick is almost cheating, as henna is used primarily as a dye for hair and skin. Mix henna with water (or tea, for extra lightening powers!) to form a paste, and coat your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave the henna on - the longer you wait (2 hr -8 hr), the more red your hair. Rinse out with water as per usual, and be amazed by your luscious ginger locks! If you have brown or black, you most likely will end up with a shade darker than your natural hair color, that is black or very black hair. Chemical dyes may not work as expected on hair which has been previously dyed with henna. Henna at best colors vibrantly grey hair, and may add a dark red hue in bright sunlight for dark colored hair. For African hair, henna might leave your hair feeling brittle. To alleviate this sensation do a hot oil treatment after henna coloring. <ref name="rf18818">http://naturalgreenlife.wordpress.com/2011/12/20/12-ways-to-lighten-hair/</ref> | #Dye your hair with henna.
