Like many brunettes, I spent my Summers squeezing lemon juice onto my hair (https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Natural-Ways-Lighten-Dark-Hair-37802091#photo-37802489) in hopes of its elusive lightening properties. Since I was a natural hair virgin, it seemed like the only way to go blond. Turns out, I may have been looking in the wrong grocery store aisle. Tea shares many of the same properties as hair dyes, minus the gunky chemicals. From chamomile to English breakfast, there's a flavor out there right for you.
According to this study from The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, brewed green tea creates catechins (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf8012162?journalCode=jafcau&), antioxidants found in henna and many plant dyes. You can create a rinse (http://womandailytips.com/how-to-color-your-hair-with-tea/) by brewing three chamomile teabags. Add a tablespoon of rosemary and sage herbs, and let it sit for a day. Then strain the tea and pour it into a spray bottle. After your next shower, spritz your hair with the mixture and towel-dry. Repeat this ritual until you've reached your desired lightness.
If you're a blonde trying to go darker, simply switch to black tea. It contains caffeine, which also promotes hair growth and which has been used successfully in studies to combat baldness (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3500065/).
