Camomile Tea
Question--Will you kindly advise me what is necessary to make the liquid of camomile "take" when used to color the hair? I know several hairdressers who use it with good results, but I have not been able to get the shade on the hair. I have steeped a half cup of camomile flowers (Roman) in a pint of boiling water for about one hour, steeping slowly in an agate pan to be sure that the metal of anything such as tin or aluminum would not act on the color. Although I have tried it on three different heads, I cannot get any color out of the camomile. I know they are the real camomile as I buy them from an old herb store and the sell any herb ever know.-- M. C. S.
Answer--This treatment does not change the color of any shade of hair. It is soothing to the scalp and brings out the highlights after the second or third treatment, and there isn't anything you can purchase which is superior to real camomile flowers. If you read an advertisement which says camomile will change the color, there are, no doubt other chemicals or ingredients mixed with it.
