Want beautiful copper highlights in your hair? They look especially gorgeous when achieved naturally.
Skip expensive commercial dyes that damage hair with harsh chemicals.
Instead, try this 100% natural method I've used successfully: rinsing with an onion peel decoction for radiant coppery-gold tones.
Rinse your hair with a decoction of onion peels. Here's how:
- 4 handfuls of yellow onion skins
- 1.5 liters of water
- Pan
- Glass bottle
1. Peel your onions.
2. Heat the water in a saucepan.
3. Add the yellow onion skins to the pan.
4. Bring to a boil.
5. Let it cool, covered.
6. Strain into a glass bottle.
7. Use as your final rinse after shampooing.
8. Air-dry your hair.
And there you have it! Beautiful coppery highlights achieved naturally. :-)
Simple, quick, and chemical-free.
Repeat as needed for your desired shade. Store in the fridge for weeks.
For bolder, brassier tones, use red onion skins.
No need for henna, which can be tricky to manage.
This is a smart way to repurpose onion skins—don't toss them while cooking!
Freeze peels from your meals until you have enough, rather than peeling extra onions just for this.
Onion skins contain natural red pigments, like quercetin, that gently tint hair for authentic highlights without chemicals.
Plus, the rinse nourishes and strengthens hair with onion's beneficial nutrients.
