I read about it on here somewhere...
Have you tried it?
What color does it work on?
What do you do?
I was just curious, oh and I`d imagine your hair would smell like Starbucks??!!

Hello WonderWaves
I have heard/read about using coffee as a hair dye for brunettes but don`t know anyone that has actually tried it.
The Long Locks web site has these directions:
Ingredients:
Triple strength black coffee
Directions:
Shampoo hair. Place a large bowl in sink and rinse hair with cooled coffee. Repeat several times, reusing the coffee. Leave final rinse in hair for at least 15 minutes. Rinse with clear water.
I also have a book that has very similar instructions:
Brunette: Wash your hair with strong black tea, or black coffee. Pour the rinse through your hair 15 times, re-rinsing with the same liquid. On the final rinse, wring hair, and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing with clear water.
This is obviously a stain rather than a dye ( similar to henna).
Hope this helps. ;)
