BUT NOW: these "news" are everywhere! STILL: it's not until now that I have realised this fact... Weird, ain't it? Read more about the dangerous chemicals at NATURAL NEWS.


SIMPLE HOMEMADE HAIR DYE!


Dazzling summer blonde?


Simply rinse your hair with one of these suggestions

For Brunette shades:

For Blonde shades:
- Infusions or teas made from Saffron, Turmeric, Calendula (marigold), Mullein
- An infusion of Avena Sativa (oat straw), Licorice Root and Saffron
