Dye made using sage may not give you instant or long-lasting results, but the herb offers a safe way to dye your hair whilst also giving you a myriad of other hair benefits, per Leaf TV. All you'll need to make the mixture are a few twigs of fresh sage and 2 cups of water (via Hair Buddha). If you can't find fresh sage leaves, you can use a tablespoon of the dry herb instead. You'll essentially be making a sage tea to use as hair dye.
Once you've placed the sage leaves and water in a pan, wait till it boils, reports eMedi Health. Continue to cook for 5 more minutes at a reduced temperature. Remove the tea from the stove and let it cool for a couple of hours, before straining the blend into a bottle or container of your choice. You can either work the tea into your hair with your fingers and let it air-dry before rinsing or you could apply it to your hair every two nights, wait till it dries, and head to bed, according to Hair La Vie. The pigment can stain your bedding if you don't dry your hair properly.
It typically takes a couple of weeks for the grays to get significant coverage, per Hair Buddha, after which you can reapply every week to preserve the tint. The mixture is particularly effective on darker shades of hair (via Healthline).
