How to Use Chamomile Tea on Hair

Chamomile has been used as a home remedy due to its properties that aid sleep and digestion, but it also contains three flavonoids (which give plants their pigmentation) called apigenin, quercetin, and azulene, which can help lighten hair.Apigenin is a natural chemical that brightens hair when combined with azulene (a dark blue chamomile extract). Quercetin is what lightens the hair, as it is a tyrosinase inhibitor, an enzyme that limits the production of melanin, the same chemical that darkens skin and hair. When these three components are combined and applied to hair repeatedly, they will gradually lighten it.While there are many ways to lighten hair with chemicals, using a natural option like chamomile tea can help you avoid damaging your hair or irritating your skin, for example, and you can do it at a much lower cost. How to Use Chamomile Tea to Lighten HairWith a bit of consistency and chamomile tea, you could lighten your locks a bit, but even though you will be using natural ingredients, your hair may become a little dry, so it is best to use a deep conditioning treatment after rinsing with chamomile.Ingredients:2 cups of chamomile tea (strong, made with 5 tea bags)1/4 cup of lemon juiceMix and pour the solution into a spray bottle, then apply it evenly to the hair from root to tip.
