1. Wheat Flour And Lemon

In a shallow bowl, mix together five tablespoons of wheat flour with two tablespoons of lemon juice and water to form a thick paste. Mix well and apply it liberally across the affected area. Leave for 30 minutes and wash off with warm water. Thanks to lemon's natural bleaching agents, this pack will help reduce stains to a great extent.

2. Coconut

Let this coconut pack soak in the hair for an hour, then wash away with warm water and a clarifying shampoo. Not only will coconut oil help the colour slide off the hair, the milk will repair damage that may have occurred too.
