Because you asked… Yes, this is my natural hair color. And…Here is my secret #DIY recipe that I use to keep my hair Silvery White and shiny. I do this every two to three weeks. It rinses away the copper, sulfur and other chemicals that are naturally in water (and old pipes) — which ultimately contribute to that yellowish buildup that I really dislike.
- In a small jar, mix equal parts of 3% hydrogen peroxide, water and your favorite white-colored conditioner. (Or 1/3 hydrogen peroxide (3%), 1/3 water, and 1/3 conditioner)
- Stir or shake up the mixture to blend thoroughly.
- Apply the mixture to your clean, damp, non-conditioned hair.
- Comb through the hair with a wide-toothed comb or pick. Leave on hair for 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
- Repeat once every three weeks to prevent mineral buildup.
- Enjoy your whiter, shiny and very conditioned hair.
Disclaimer: I take zero responsibility for your personal outcome — particularly if you don’t follow directions or mistakenly decide “more is better” and especially if you leave this mixture on your hair too long. I am not a professional hair dresser! This is just my personal formula! Remember, it does use peroxide…SO if your hair is darker or a little salt with a lot of pepper — I probably would not recommend this because the peroxide could result in your darker hair looking a like brassy orange hair. Also — I comb this away from my scalp and down the strands — as I don’t want to stress my scalp.
