Another Homemade Red Hair Dye Recipe

Make sure you buy the canned beets with water, salt and sugar in it. If you buy sugarless you will end up staining your skin and it will rub off on your clothing and pillowcase. 😡 A huge perk about this homemade red hair dye recipe is that it should not stain your skin or rub off on your pillowcase!
Although, both of these homemade red hair dye recipes are all natural, the ingredients in both are not particularly great to be left on your skin. Leaving elements that are not intended for the skin can be very damaging. There are products out there such as Epifresh and Touch that can help yield the effects of harsh chemicals coming into contact with your skin.
Your skin is very important and you should be taking good car of it. A healthy skin care routine can make all the difference in the world when it comes to taking care of your body. Be prepared for anything and get out there and take on the world with your new red hair!
