Homemade Hair Highlights
Highlights for Brunettes
1 potato, unpeeled
Cook an unpeeled potato in boiling water. Cool slightly. Dip a pastry brush in the water, cover and saturate hair, being careful not to get any on skin. Leave on hair for 20 minutes then rinse out.
Highlights for Blondes
½ cup chamomile tea
Steep chamomile tea in one quart of boiling water . Strain and cool slightly. Shampoo hair until oil free, then rinse with the tea infusion.
