Add lemon juice to half its quantity of water. It’s like 2 parts lemon juice to 1 part water. Fill a spray bottle with this dilute alkaline solution. Spray it on your hair and head out in the Sun. Let the sun rays work on your hair for an hour or so.
If you wish to have the complete hair turn lighter, then apply the mixture to the complete hair.

Rinse it off after an hour for sure. Do not forget to rinse and condition the hair properly

2.Herbs for Brown Hair

It is easiest to darken hair that is already light brown or darker, though these colors will even darken blonde tones. Always test on a small part of hair before using on the whole head, especially on chemically treated hair. Used as a rinse, these will also darken grey hair over time. The more they are used, the darker the results. For faster, dramatic effect, use a Henna Color Like Black, Dark Brown or Mahogany. For a slower or more gentle tone, use these herbs:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Nettle Leaf,1/4 cup Rosemary Leaf,1/4 cup Sage Leaf,2.5 cups of water
Instructions
Simmer the herbs with water in a small pan for at least 30 minutes or until water is very dark. Remove from heat and when cool, strain herbs out, making sure all small pieces are removed (I use cheesecloth). Store mix in the fridge. Spray or brush into hair about an hour before showering each day, then shampoo as normal. Can also use as a rinse and leave on at the end of each shower. Repeat until desired color is reached. It has a cumulative effect and you probably won’t notice much difference the first few days. The herbs in this mix are also great for getting rid of dandruff and for increasing hair growth.

3.To color hair Red with natural dyes

Carrot and beet juice are the main ingredients in this process. Mix both the juices and keep it in a spray bottle. Make sure it is only the liquid not containing any residue or any dirt. Dampen your hair. For this process, the hair should be quite damp. Apply the juice mixture to the hair from the roots to the tips. Next, sit outside for the Sun light. The sun rays work with the mix giving your hair beautiful low lights/undertones in shades of red. It may take several times to achieve your desired hair color. So keep repeating.

4.Color your hair with saffron

Boil 1tb spoon of saffron with 2 cups of water for 20mins. When cooled, apply the mix to hair. Massage on to hair and scalp and let it dry. Later shampoo and condition your hair. It will leave your grey hair turn dark golden brown which complements your already dark hair.
Mix your conditioner with some dark-colored unsweetened flavored drink like black cherry or grape. The mixture should be have flowy consistency. Apply this on your hair for as long as you want. Rinse you hair thereafter. Wear a glove during application and do not blow dry your hair let it dry naturally. Besides darkening you can also use this method to colour you hair in other vivid colors like blue or green!
