Re: Has anyone ever tried dying your hair with coffee?

A friend of mine had cancer in a gland (I think it was a gland anyway) in her face near her ear and her oncologist said to quit dying her hair. I don't know if he meant the dye caused it or what. She used to dye it every 6 weeks or so, but she did quit after he told her that. That did it for me too.

I had to laugh when i read this because when my grandmother was around 90 she put black coffee in her white hair. That story really got around. She was not upset with the results but I cannot remember the results. 


Why would anyone put black coffee in WHITE hair?

Re: Has anyone ever tried dying your hair with coffee?

A few years ago I gave up coffee and switched to tea.  I wanted a sturdy black tea so I started with Yorkshire.  Stained everything it came in contact with.

 

If anyone is toying with the idea of using tea on hair, I'd definitely recommend this one. Woman LOL

No, but I do enjoy a great cup of coffee while my hairdresser colors my hair (with real hair color).

I used to buy Chagrin Valley Soap - one of the bar shampoo soaps had coffee in it.

I'd avoid hair dyes. Putting chemicals near the scalp which could leach into the brains seems risky. There have been links with dyes and cancer. I avoid aluminum in products also. I learned that from dr. Weil.

I tried a coffee rinse for hair growth but since I only left it on for a few minutes it did not really change the color of my hair.
