Method

Puree the yogurt and pumpkin in a blender or food processor. After that, add the honey and coconut oil and make sure that the mixture is smooth. Apply the mixture to damp hair, use a plastic cap to cover your hair and leave it for about 20 minutes. Use your usual conditioner and shampoo to wash out the mixture thoroughly and style your hair as desired.

 

Intensify Your Hair Color

Redheads can add shine and vibrancy using a cherry Kool-Aid or cranberry rinse. For brunettes, use a coffee rinse or grape Kool-Aid to tone down brassiness. Blondes can comb their hair through a glass of champagne if they want to intensify their golden tones. White explained that the carbonation gives shine and volume and the champagne color will bring out any golden highlights. To fight brassiness in blonde hair, neutralize the orange tone by adding a drop of purple food coloring in your daily shampoo.
