Silver Gray Hair Color
Step 1
Mix together tangerine and baking soda until they form a paste. Then add the chamomile essential oil, mix again, and apply to damp roots in small sections. Allow the mixture to sit for at least an hour before rinsing it out with cool water.
Take a tangerine and break it in half to expose the skin. Then squeeze the juice of one half into a small bowl. The other half is for garnish later on.
Now that you have your tangerine, it’s time to do some juicing. Remove the peel and break it in half to expose the skin. Then squeeze the juice of one half into a small bowl. The other half is for garnish later on.
Important: Letting the juice sit in the bowl for a few minutes will allow any pulp or seeds that may be present to separate from the liquid itself, making sure you won’t accidentally bite into them when eating your salad later on!
Step 2
Now that you’ve mixed the ingredients in your bowl, it’s time to apply them evenly. Here are some tips for best results:
- Apply the mixture evenly with a brush or comb. This will help ensure even coverage throughout your hair and prevent spots from being left out.
- Get down to the roots! If you don’t get close enough with the mixture, then there may be uneven coloring when you rinse it off. Now is not the time to be lazy about this step—you’ll regret it later if you do!
- Protect your bathroom from staining by laying down an old towel before applying any products on yourself or in your bathroom sink/tub area (if applicable). You might also want to wear an old shirt or pair of pants so as not get any stains on them either – this can make finding clothes afterward much easier too!
You’re almost done applying all of these products into your silver gray hair color recipe! Follow these steps now:
Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, then stir them together with a spoon.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, then stir them together with a spoon. If you want to make your hair color look more gray, add another 1/2 teaspoon. If your hair is thin or fine and has a lot of natural wave, use less than 2 teaspoons for a subtle color change.
If the mixture smells like burnt plastic when it is stirred, that means there’s too much tangerine juice in the mixture and it needs more baking soda to neutralize it.
Step 3
At this point, you should have a bowl of water and a spoon. Mix together 1-2 drops of chamomile essential oil with your baking soda until it’s well-combined. Then, add the mixture to the water and stir until it’s dissolved.
Once you’ve done that, you’re ready to apply it to your hair in the same way as before: section by section, starting with the back and working forward (unless there’s an area where you want more coloring). Make sure not to get any of the mixture near your scalp or ears! It might hurt if it gets in there!
Add about three drops of chamomile essential oil to the mixture. Stir with a spoon until all ingredients are combined.

The chamomile essential oil is good for your hair and skin, and it can be used for many other natural beauty treatments.
Make sure to stir the mixture until everything is completely combined.
You can use any type of spoon you have handy; just make sure that the spoon is clean so that it doesn’t mix up any germs from other things in your home!
Step 4
Once you have applied the mixture to your hair, you can let it sit for up to two hours. While it is sitting, you might want to take a nap or binge watch your favorite show. The longer the mixture sits on your hair, the more dye will penetrate into your strands and give them a darker color. You can also apply heat if you want to speed up this process. After two hours, rinse off with cool water until there are no more suds left in your hair and then shampoo as normal with a gentle shampoo that doesn’t strip away moisture from hair (and skin).
If some of the mixture gets on your clothes or hands during application, don’t worry about it too much because this stain won’t be permanent once rinsed off!
Massage this mixture onto your hair in sections, focusing on the areas that need it most using your hands or a brush. Try to get down to your roots as well. The consistency may be goopy, but that’s good! That means it will attach to your hair and create color. Be sure to rinse off any excess from your hands and clean up around you after appling the mixture to protect your bathroom from stains.

Step 5
- After 45 minutes, rinse out the dye and wash your hair with a gentle shampoo. You can also choose to use my deep conditioning mask treatment as an aftercare product to lock in moisture and keep the color looking fresh.
If you want more intense color, you can leave the dye on for an hour instead of 45 minutes; just make sure you cover your shoulders with plastic wrap so it doesn’t stain anything! While you wait, do something fun or productive like reading a book or browsing Facebook—whatever activity will pass the time without being too much work (since we’re saving our energy for coloring).
After applying the mixture all over your hair, use a shower cap or plastic baggies to cover your hair so that it doesn’t dry out for about 45 minutes. If you’re planning this ahead of time, you can also heat up your hair with a blow dryer during this step and rinse out after an hour instead of just rinsing out after 45 minutes (this will give you more intense color). You can take this time to do something else, like read a book or browse Facebook while you wait.
