Coffee hair dye
According to the National Cancer Institute
 there are over 5000 different chemicals used in conventional hair dyes, many of which are considered carcinogenic. 
Coffee is an absolutely natural product, which possesses beneficial properties.

Using this easy natural coffee mixture, you will get the desired shine, shade,
and even promote hair growth. According to  the International Journal of Dermatology,
coffee indeed helps with hair growth.
How to use coffee to dye your hair
  • Make really strong organic coffee, preferably espresso. 
    (Non organic coffee most likely contains some added chemicals.)
  • Let the coffee cool.  
  • Mix 2 cups ( I would use 1/2 -1 cup on short hair)
     of leave in all natural conditioner with 2 tbsp. of organic coffee grounds
     and 1 cup of  cold brewed coffee.
  • Shampoo hair, then massage the coffee mix into hair and leave in for about an hour.  
     It will give your hair a beautiful chocolate color without any damage.
Simple Coffee Rinse
Shampoo your hair, then pour brewed coffee over your hair. Leave it in for 20 minutes.
Use apple cider vinegar to rinse the coffee out of your hair (it will help  seal in the color).
Then rinse it off with warm water.

If you don’t see the desired results right away,
 repeat the same process for a few days in a row to allow the coffee to penetrate the strands of your hair.

2. Put This Food on Your Hair for a New Level of Luster
 Coconutoil.com/3-easy-to-make-homemade-deep-conditioners-for-natural-hair
4 tbs of extra virgin coconut oil
2 tbs of pure honey
(depending on hair density or length, you may need two servings of this )
Place coconut oil and honey in a small cup  in a bowl of hot water.  until the mix is warm.  

Pour onto freshly washed, towel blotted hair.  
Put on a shower cap, and wrap with a towel to prevent mixture from dripping onto face. 
Let it sit for 20 minutes, then rinse out 80-90% of the conditioner, and style as usual.

Coconut oil is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water.
So when applied as a pre-wash conditioner, it inhibits the penetration of water into each strand,
 which causes the cuticle, or surface of the hair shaft, to rise, --making it prone to damage and breakage.
Furthermore, when applied as a pre-wash treatment,
 a small amount of the coconut oil is able to penetrate deeper into the hair shaft during the wash, 
when the hair fiber swells slightly.
This can also explain why so many rave about the oil's ability to prevent "the frizzies" in humid weather--
this is another feature of its hydrophobic activity.

Part of the "secret" that makes coconut oil such a healthful oil 
is its high lauric acid content—about 50 percent of coconut oil is lauric acid. 
This fat is quite rare in nature, and has a unique set of health promoting properties. 
For example, your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, 
which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties,xii 
which may also help explain its potent healing powers when used topically for skin and scalp issues. 
Capric acid, another coconut fatty acid present in smaller amounts, 
has also been found to have antimicrobial activity.
Monolaurin (converted from the lauric acid in your body) 
is potent enough to destroy lipid-coated viruses such as:
  • HIV, herpes, Measles, Influenza virus
  • Various pathogenic bacteria, Protozoa such as giardia lamblia

To address tangles. 
Rinse hair with -two tablespoons of baking soda in a quart of water- after shampooing and leave in, 
which leaves hair silky smooth and easy to comb through.
For conditioner, try lemon juice, it gave hair body and shine-it works,
Our minds have been conditioned that hair needs expensive chemical shampoos and conditioners-
but advertising is so they can make money, not so we can be healthy,
Our health is not their concern-it is ours.
or Hair Detangler
1.  Fill a spray bottle two-thirds with water.
2.  Add favourite natural oils conditioner to fill bottle.
3.  Shake well
4.  Spray into hair and brush normally.
