Chamomile oil for lightening black hair

[Rehab350]

I've heard of chamomile oil and tea for changing black hair color into brown. Any one tried this or any natural recipe to dye black hair.

I've only heard of using chamomile on already very light hair, meaning blonde. It won't do anything to black or brown hair. I'm not even sure if it actually works on blonde, but supposedly it does something...
For lightening black hair the only thing I can think of is staying for hours in the sun for several days for weeks at least. It will make your hair a bit more brittle.
People recommend honey but I read it's not effective unless at a specific temperature, in specific amounts, and that it's actually such a specific procedure that most people who try it at home aren't really doing anything to their hair when they try and apply it because it's not how it has to be done.

I think it is going to be pretty hard to accomplish that with chamomile. On blond hair? For sure it can add dimension. I'm not so sure what it will do on dark dark hair though! :)

I don't know about chamomile, but I've seen people use lemon + sunlight to lighten parts of their hair a tiny bit if you're after something without chemicals. I don't know how effective it would be on hair as dark as black though.

To add to that, I don't think lemon turns it brown either. I think it makes it more reddish.

Maybe look into honey lightening? I don't know much about it, but there's a thread around here somewhere. I know it's a lot easier to go darker with herbal things than it is to lighten. The most I've heard of is chamomile tea enhancing highlights in already light hair.

Pretty sure that any lightening technique, be it lemon, honey, or bleach will lighten it to look reddish, not brownish, because of how hair pigment works. Best bet is probably a cosmetologist (who can use dye to make it browner after lightening) unless you're ok with reddish tones.

I do not want brown I want the same shade of this video wow so gorgeous but I thought brown is easier to get than red for originally black color. I am trying this right now but on dry hair instead of damp. I made a mistake but I will see if I may get any result.
