I am in midst of writing my Family Herbal and while looking up a few things about Blackberry, read the actual plant/leaves can be used to dye hair Black. VERY excited to try it.
I am looking to find an actual recipe for dying the hair black with this. I even have a friend whom has grey & black hair that has volunteered to allow my experimentation.
ANYONE have a recipe they could share? OR know how to do it?
I am hoping to include a few Hair beauty recipes like Natural hair dye in the Family Herbal I am writing for them.
Thank you ahead for your help. :) |

lol, in everything I have read it is the leaves boiled & mixed with lye or other ingredient to get the black. I can not find an actual recipe, just mentions of ingredients.
The friend wears a hat all the time so the plan is to do a section from under the hat for the initial experiment.
I plan to take before & after pictures for including with the recipe in my book. |

Hmm... sounds Interesting.
Let us know how it goes, usually blackberries stain quite well on the hands and cloths but the stain is a blackish, reddish, purple color.... do a test strand first maybe ... now me I would just feel more unique with that kind of color but someone else might get upset .... :
