View Full Version : Coffee as a colour enhancer?? Siobhan February 26th, 2003, 03:51 AM Coffee as a colour enhancer? Has anyone tried this? Is there any risk of being detrimental to hair? (not rinsing with it hot) I thought it might even up my colour a bit. Should I mix in oils/conditioners?? TIA Dulci February 26th, 2003, 06:20 AM I've never tried it, but I have read about it Here (http://www.pioneerthinking.com/brundye.html). HTH! If you try it let us know how it goes! :!: Karen February 26th, 2003, 06:43 AM i found it drying, but my hair defines DRY if you do it, i would suggest definately mixing oils or conditioners and/or following up with a good leave in conditioner euphrasyne February 26th, 2003, 07:24 AM Coffee does wash out, but it can stain lighter hair. Stronger coffee stains more; Community dark roast stains the most. --Cheryl Jonobie February 26th, 2003, 08:00 AM I've done it -- I did it a couple of times. For some of my rinses, I added several tea bags, which seemed to bring out red highlights; I might try some strong tea rinses again, sometime. I'll probably stay away from the coffee; it seemed too drying. Pros: Washes out after 2-3 washes Good color; blended in my old highlights with my regular hair color Cons: Hair felt like straw afterward HTH, Jonobie Mariah February 26th, 2003, 09:01 AM I've mixed it with henna to tone down the red tones... leia December 17th, 2003, 01:46 AM I use coffee all the time. I mix it with deep conditioner and let it sit before rinsing out. Anne December 17th, 2003, 04:35 PM I use coffee all the time. I mix it with deep conditioner and let it sit before rinsing out. I've tried it straight, made my hair dry too..the conditioner/coffee mix sounds like it would work. Golden Mermaid December 17th, 2003, 04:41 PM Leia has a recipe...
