Attention Brunettes!

Going to the salon can be pretty pricey, so I have been on the hunt for ways to beautify at home. The so called "Espresso Soak" claims to enrich color and seemed super easy.... so I gave it a whirl. It was very quick, cheap and actually DID deepen my base color.....but alas it faded in about 2 days. So if you are looking for a more permanent change, stick with box color.

• Espresso Soak- Brew cup or super strong black coffee or get a Starbucks Espresso. Once it cools, pour over dry hair in the shower and leave on for ten minutes before rinsing. (I got a double shot for a maximum effect)

You can also get the same results from black tea:
• Black tea soak- steep 3 bags of black tea in 2 cups of hot water until cool. Pour over hair, let sit for ten mins and rinse.

*Tip- Put a shower cap over your head to contain liquid.
** This only works for brunettes, if you didn't gather that from the title.
