Tie the appropriate ingredient in cheesecloth and add to boiling water. Remove from heat and let soak for 10 minutes. Remove cheesecloth and let cool a bit. Shampoo and rinse hair. While your color enhancing rinse is still warm (not hot), pour over hair and let sit for a minute or 2, then rinse thoroughly with clear cold water and style as usual. Do this when every your color needs a boost.
Tip 1: For blondes who hair turns a greenish after swimming, add lemon juice to your rinse water. Brassy brunettes, add apple cider vinegar to your rinse water.
