Put the peels and sage into a pot.
Add 500 ml to 1 liter of water (start with 500 ml for a stronger mix).
Boil gently over low heat for 20–30 minutes.
Let it cool a bit, strain the liquid, and apply it generously to clean, towel-dried hair.
🧅 Stronger, darker version:
Add 1 black tea bag or a handful of walnut leaves while boiling.
(For even deeper color, you can also add some green walnut shells!)
✨ Secret tip: the longer you let the peels simmer, the stronger the color will be.
Be careful — staining is real!
Onion peels, walnut leaves, and black tea can easily stain your skin and clothes if you’re not careful.
Here’s how to protect yourself:
Wear rubber gloves while applying the liquid.
Apply a layer of thick cream (like Vaseline) around your hairline, ears, and neck before coloring.
Wear an old t-shirt that you don’t mind getting stained.
If any drops land on your skin, wipe them off immediately with a damp cloth.
Best way to apply it?
After applying the liquid, wrap your hair in a towel or use a shower cap.
Let it sit for at least 1–2 hours.
Rinse gently with just water — no shampoo immediately after.
Repeat the treatment 2–3 times a week until you reach the color you want.
