is it better to get your hair darker with coffe or black tea?

Question

how long will it take to wahs out?

Answer 1

I can't really find anything that says one or the other is better, but everything I was reading says choose organic. I would say go with the black tea as it has many other possibilities also like:

Quick Fix for Puffy Eyes and/or Dark Circles
Make two cups of tea as usual, using two teabags. Place the used bags in the fridge. When needed, simply lie down and place one teabag over each eye. Allow to remain for 10 to 20 minutes.

Blemish Control
Next time a blemish makes an unwelcome appearance, simply place a warm teabag on it for several minutes. Remove the bag, but don’t rinse off the tea.

Simplest Astringent Ever
Just splash your face with warm or cool black tea and don’t rinse.

British Witch Astringent
Boil 1/4 cup water and add 2 teabags, steeping until cool. Remove the teabags, then add 1/4 cup witch hazel. Pour into a clean container and keep in refrigerator for up to 10 days. Soak a cotton pad with this astringent and apply to clean skin as often as needed.

Lip Toner
Tea will help your lips retain moisture and appear smooth: just apply a warm teabag to clean lips for 5 minutes. Don’t rinse.

Sunburn Relief Compress or Bath
Boil 2 cups of water, add 4 teabags, and steep for one hour. Refrigerate until cool. Soak a clean cloth or cotton ball with the cool tea and apply to affected area, holding it in place for 15 minutes. Do not rinse. Repeat up to four times a day. OR--allow 5 or 6 teabags to steep in a tub of warm water. Soak in the tub for 10 to 15 minutes.

Bug Bite Zapper
To reduce the swelling and itching of many insect bites, just apply a cool used teabag to the affected area for several minutes.

Highlighting Hair Rinse
This will also darken hair while it adds shine and pretty highlights. Simply brew two cups of strong tea and use to rinse damp shampooed hair.

Sweet Feet
The tannins in tea help to fight odor-causing bacteria. Simply soak feet in strong tea for several minutes, then pat dry.

Go with the Black Tea, it it doesn't work out for you look at all the other possibliities to use it for. As far as how long it lasts I think it depends on how strong you brew it and how often you wash your hair.

Here is a forum of women who talk about this subject. Maybe they can shead some insite:

Answer 2

umm... neither. if you're looking for a dye that is not permanent, you can try using a semi-permanent to see how you like it. or you can also try a demi-permanent. demi lasts longer than semi, but is way less damaging than permanent color. semi permanent takes 4-6 washes to come out. demi lasts about 4-6 weeks. i went to school for this. let me know if you have any other questions.

Answer 3

Its better to use coffee grounds mixed into your regular shampoo, and it should come out with your next wash.

Answer 4

neither. coffee and tea are for drinking, silly.

Answer 5

neither! use hair color like the rest of us.
