Why does chamomile tea work to lighten hair?
Hair lightening is the process of making your hair a brighter, more vibrant color, usually a lighter shade of blonde or blonde than its original color. This does not mean that your hair will be too white or light, but rather that it will be shinier and more radiant.
Chamomile tea helps lighten hair thanks to natural compounds like apigenin and azulene. Apigenin gives hair its natural yellow color, while azulene reduces brassiness, leaving hair naturally bright and radiant.
This lightening effect occurs gradually as the compounds in chamomile tea interact with sunlight. Apigenin adds a natural golden hue to the hair, while the mild acidity of the tea lifts the hair color gradually without causing damage. So chamomile tea is a natural, safe, and effective way to lighten your hair without chemicals.
