How to Naturally Dye Your Gray Hair with Onion Peels Without Unpleasant Surprises🌿

Put the peels and sage into a pot.

Add 500 ml to 1 liter of water (start with 500 ml for a stronger mix).

Boil gently over low heat for 20–30 minutes.

Let it cool a bit, strain the liquid, and apply it generously to clean, towel-dried hair.

🧅 Stronger, darker version:

Add 1 black tea bag or a handful of walnut leaves while boiling.

(For even deeper color, you can also add some green walnut shells!)

✨ Secret tip: the longer you let the peels simmer, the stronger the color will be.

Be careful — staining is real!

Onion peels, walnut leaves, and black tea can easily stain your skin and clothes if you’re not careful.

Here’s how to protect yourself:

Wear rubber gloves while applying the liquid.

Apply a layer of thick cream (like Vaseline) around your hairline, ears, and neck before coloring.

Wear an old t-shirt that you don’t mind getting stained.

If any drops land on your skin, wipe them off immediately with a damp cloth.

Best way to apply it?

After applying the liquid, wrap your hair in a towel or use a shower cap.

Let it sit for at least 1–2 hours.

Rinse gently with just water — no shampoo immediately after.

Repeat the treatment 2–3 times a week until you reach the color you want.

Final Thoughts

With a little patience and care, you’ll have beautifully colored, healthy hair — and you’ll avoid all the harsh chemicals found in commercial dyes. 🌿
