How can I naturally redden my hair?

I have medium brown hair but I would like a little red. I hate hair dyes and I don't want to use henna. Is there a natural way I can redden my hair? I have researched and found websites that say you can use coffee grounds or paprika... I have a hard time beliveing that but I'll try it. Is there anything natural I can use... even if it only works a little?!? Thanks!

Home grown Kool Aid.

I agree cool aid is the way to go I did it back when I was in highschool.

you shouldn't be afraid of tints as they are the tool designed for the task... I do not recommend Henna unless you NEVER plan to use any product with ammonia while you have it in your hair



if you really must use natural products your first obstacle is your color level being so dark



you can roughen up your cuticle (outside layer) by using lemon juice and then why not just apply red food coloring or Koolaid (neither of which are natural)? pomegranates are a really heavy stain too ( I have seen it used on clean, dried hair and wrapped up in plastic and left for 1 hour with heat applied by hair dryer)



although I really suggest that you use a professional product... you don't have to do an all over tint. there are plenty of home highlighting kits in different colours so you can contol just how much color you want



have you tried color enhanced shampoos and conditioners?

Henna would have been the way to go for a little bit of red BUT there is also a natural way to do this to your hair as well as henna, but using other herbs. Go to http://www.longhaircommunity.com, and there is an article written under the henna thread called Using Herbs to Naturally color your hair (or close to that). It is very helpful !! If you can't find it email me as I have a copy of it in word format. or I can get the direct link for you.
