How to dye hair with black beans and vinegar

In daily life, we often encounter situations where we need to dye our hair, such as premature graying of hair. For example, the elderly want to look more energetic and dye their gray hair white. If this is done in a barber shop, the hair dye used will inevitably have a certain impact on our health. A healthier way is to use black beans and vinegar to dye your hair. So, how to dye your hair using black beans and vinegar? Let’s take a look at the method below.

The specific method is: take 250 grams of black beans and 750 milliliters of rice vinegar. Put black beans and rice vinegar into a pot, cook the black beans over high heat until they are soft, then remove the residue and take the juice, then boil the juice into a viscous state. Every time you dye your hair, apply an appropriate amount on your hair and wash it off after half an hour.

Black beans themselves are rich in melanin, and rice vinegar can enhance its coloring effect. As we all know, the closer the hair dye is to the hair roots, the greater the damage to the body. The advantage of this hair dyeing method is that it does not harm the liver and kidneys and can dye the hair roots. However, this folk hair dye is not very durable and the color will fade easily once you sweat. It needs to be dyed frequently and can be used in seasons when you don't sweat much. It is not suitable for people with severe scalp damage and melanoma patients.

In addition, the root of hair problems lies in the kidneys. If the kidney qi is sufficient, the hair will be black, and if the kidney qi is insufficient, the hair will be rough. The root cause of premature graying of hair lies in genes. You can nourish your hair through food supplements on a daily basis, for example, eat more foods with high melanin content such as black beans, black sesame seeds, and black rice. You can take Liuwei Dihuang Pills and Polygonum multiflorum to nourish your kidneys. You can also cook porridge with Polygonum multiflorum and black rice, or add some Polygonum multiflorum when stewing meat. This can slow down the rate of hair graying by nourishing the kidneys.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the kidneys are responsible for hair growth. If you have premature graying of hair or need to dye your hair, you might want to try this folk remedy. If you pay more attention to eating black foods, you will also see good results.
