A bowl of potatoes, I'm actually dying. So instead of spending all this money on hair dyes and the chemicals and going to be Atisha n --, it is really rough on your hair yeah, but what we do believe it or not. You can actually use potato skins to darken your gray hairs, believe it or not, it does work. So this is what you do if this works. It'S gon na get freaky at my house, I'm gon na come home with a 20-pound sack of potatoes. So you take about a cup of potato skins, so we're gon na measure about a cup worth. Do we really need to measure them to be accurate? Yes, I'm a sir I'm a physician. You know we got to be accurate, so that's about it. Would you like an extra CC potatoes, good doctor? That fight would even have a little more is always good, and then you want to mix basically a cup of potato skins with about two cups of water gotcha, and then you go ahead and put a top on that and put it on heat. And you want to boil it and once it boils, you want to mix it up just a little bit. Let it boil and then simmer for about five minutes: okay, after it simmers for five minutes, remove it from the heat and let it cool and what you're gon na have then is this water with the potato peels in it then take the potato peels and strain Them out there you go and you can see you've got some nice brown potato peel water left over, but when she washes her hair, is it still gon na be brown or does the potatoes don't just go away? So, ideally, what you do is you want to shampoo your hair towel dry, it after you rinse it out with normal tap water, and then you can use this as an actual second rinse, and it will actually dye your gray hairs. How weird so we're gon na try it weird right! Thank you for letting us put potato juice on your head. Oh my god, she's like a real-life mr. Potato Head all right, so we're gon na try it on her today. No sure no value and slap some ears, but I think you're so gorgeous you don't need. Okay. Now you need to use a good amount, a good amount. Would you mind holding that for me sure Rachel there you go and let's have you take your glasses off because I don't want to drip on. We don't wan na get the table searched and you need to use a good amount of it and actually, let me uh spray your hair down just a little bit. First, you poor thing. There we go top just for the dripping: here's your bowl for ticket water here how about I'll hold the bowl? If you can hold the towel, I don't want her to get all wet there. We go okay, so all you do basically is you put that potato water into her hair? Sorry a little bit, but if you like, just all wet and the smell, if the aroma is smells like hot potato, you know hundred and you want to use a good amount so at home when you're doing this, the easiest thing it smell, like a potato in The system - oh no, will actually will towel dry it afterwards. Now, usually, you want to rinse it right out through your hair and use as much as you can and when a lot of people do is Ashley they'll pour this into an empty shampoo bottle. Oh so you can just you know, sort of like you do with your yeah. So afterwards, then you can I'm just gon na dry it off here afterwards. Then you can use it after your shampoo use it as a second rinse. If you take a peek, we actually have it before yeah. Actually, that's darker here than it is just right there and we have actually before picture. It is a lot darker, a little Spanky, because it's tucked your forehead, but you can tell a dry it and it actually will stay.
Comments
4gma59: So it rinses out with the next shampoo, right? And in between shampoos, you smell like a potato? And we all know our hair looks darker when wet, so.... No. Just no. If you're going this route, there's nothing wrong with a temporary rinse that just lays on the outer cuticle layer of your hair -- it does no damage whatsoever, and you don't stink like potato water.
Nadia Juliana: wet hair is always darker. Show us better how it looks after it's dry.
The Collector: Also, potato head lady provides us with some serious tips on avoiding things that visibly age you: wearing colours that provide almost no visual contrast and glasses whose frames pull your eyes down instead of opening them up.
Narda Edwards: I totally agree that she interrupts too often. The doctor was making a point about the amount of potatoes to use and she just interrupted so he didn't get to finish his statement
LP ASIAM: I believe that it will work after some time. I have boiled potatoes and left the water sitting in my dutch pot and it turned the insides black. It is a chemical reaction so essentially, the iron in your hair should react with the potatoes to look darker.
james perry: *Rachel please stop interrupting at random and let the doctor complete the demo.* TᕼᗩᑎKS.
Pickle: The woman having her hair dyed with the potato, your natural hair colour is stunning! People in France leave their hair to go grey and they all look so beautiful and natural.
Enola Granville: How long do you leave it on your hair?? then do you rinse it out? and how often do you do it to keep the gray away??
Katie •: Use catalase enzyme it helps break down hydrogen peroxide within your cells. Liver makes it naturally but as you age you make less
Devoted Fan: I'm still confused. Do you leave it on all day after shampooing or shampoo, rinse out shampoo, apply potato water, then rinse it off?
Nirmala A Dream: I have tried it for more than couple of weeks but my hair is still gray.
atif wali: Don’t we need to rinse again,once we put potato water on our hair? I think we need to rinse out the hair because if we leave with potato water it will have smell
verisww: Okay so it does not get "rid" of the grey but it camouflages it till the next shampoo. Not bad.
Nickolai Gypsy: for all that ,she could have went to the store and got henna powder or liquid and slowly darken her hair with real results.
Kathy Samson: I have read this can work over months of repeating it. The only reason it looked darker was because her hair was wet yet
tusharip: amazing wet hair looks darker than not wet ! call the nobel prize awards !

hectorkingjr: Hair will look darker when wet. I think I will try the coconut oil method.
05w: Doctor proudly says "I'm a certified physician- We got to be accurate" -Right ^^... Doctor's potato trick doesn't even work Lol...
Nayasgift: common guys don't loose your integrity, you couldn't even dry her hair to show before and after pics, of course anything wet would be darker IT DOESN'T WORK
Dortch3: funny...my grey hair is dark when wet...I went a long time without really knowing I had grey hair.
Saint Jesus Messiah: I feel like behind that womans constant interrupting and sarcasm is a lot of hostility.
Farid Pore: How long it will stay black? Is it permanent or few days or months!

Harleen Sandhu: Please tell me how to remove unwanted hair permanently at home naturally from face
Yen Tran: Her gray hair doesn’t turn darker, it’s just wet. I tried and it’s doesn’t dye my hair at all.
SAMERAH SAAD: The hair is wet for goodness sake, of course it’s gonna look dark. This is not very clear, not at all. Are you suppose to leave it in your hair, or wash it out? If the answer is wash it out, how long is it suppose to stay before rinsing out? lastly, how long does it keep the gray dark?
Species710: Could have been worded better. It doesn't get rid of gray hair, it stains, colors, or covers them up. Use onion juice, be careful of getting it in your eyes, sprayed on dry (or wet) hair and leave in as long as possible, 30 minutes to overnight, and then wash out, to treat the inability to break down naturally occuring hydrogen peroxide buildup in scalp. Over time this may reduce gray hair, to a point. You are treating the scalp, not the hair, with this. Once the scalp is reduced in hydrogen peroxide, the hair will stop growing out gray.
Kathy D Brumfield B: If you don't wash the potatoes first then you're just putting muddy water on your hair. A lot of dirt comes off of potatoes when you put them in water. They grow in DIRT!
Okonkwo Ijeoma J: Could this remedy work for a teenage grey hair or for old people ?

j ong8: Rachel wasn't very supportive of her guest and kept on talking over and countering what he was saying. Very distracting :(
Helen Boula: I am 7 to 6 years old and I have earned my gray hair and I got very little on top and it makes them and my daughter she's 56 and she's flat-headed. How did that happen. But I'm not going to dye my hair grey I'm just going to do what he wants to do parrot 20. I'm having a bad hair day. My hair is long I'll throw it up in a bun I'm a retired cosmetologist and makeup artist so I can make it work for me and it doesn't take long how to do in 5 minutes what I hairdresser will do in 2 hours or 1 hour and charge $300 for it that's the truth gosh I do remember back in the sixties and seventies shampoo and sets are like $2 and 75. I'll look back and I just find it so hard to believe that it's the truth the really work hard that I hustle hard to make some decent money back in the 60s and 70s you know what starts being a go-go dancer indication in the doors open for me for years I kept my license I do continuing education cuz cuz that's really my first love like I did I've had my time and I've had a good ride I've had a good ride and I thank my Lord Jesus savior Christ for everything in my life without him nothing would have been possible.
Tony: I love her hair like it is! She looks like Jodie Foster.
Geisa Brocklehurst: can you do that with sweet potatoes?
Leonie Davis: Wow! I will definitely try this!!
Pankaj Shah: Use dabar coconut oils available at any Indian grocery stores
James Everett: Maybe you could try it on someone with gray hair? That might tell us something. The fact that you used a barely graying head and judged the results while still wet tells me it's just an attention getter, something to distract bored housewives. Woo wee...so impressed.
swizzleproxi: Good tip if your stuck in the wilderness but would you be bothered with grey hairs in the wilderness?
NRH NRH: تجربتي هي : (( وقف لله )) ورق شاي اسود مغلي بشكل مركز + قشر رمان + كركدية + ريحان . تغلى وتصفى وتعجن بالحناء + ملعقة كبيرة شوكلاته مرة + ملعقة صغيرة نسكافيه ويمكن وصع قطرتين ليمون ثم توضع على الشعر ٥-٦ ساعات والنتيجة

Sharon Prouse: Do you have to do this every day
mercy mallari: Amazing !❤

Mohamed Farouk: It's darker because it's wet.
Chic Francisco: Rub coconut oil on your scalp. Let it stay for 20 minutes. Then shampoo. This is when you decide dyeing your hair. Do this everyday. And gradually, your hair will turn to its original color. Mine from white to black.
Geno Geno: Old people complaining about gray hair wtf You should just embrace it Just like I am about to do and I am only 17

mag2014: If it is not washed, how would it smell? Would any body go around with a hair smelling as potato?
Dano1947: Did I miss something, he put it on a section of hair and all of a sudden her hair is dark all over?
Lily Chau: I find the host very disrespectful of how jokes. The show invited Dr Youn to demo how potato can help with grey hair,so have some faith and let Dr Youn do the work,instead of making him uncomfortable. How literate is she, by commenting the hair is darker from potatoe peel when in fact it got darker simply because its WET.
maryann buchhorn: I am pleasantly surprised. It works! Shampooed and rinse hair then applied potato rinse leaving on all night. Today, hair has a beautiful luster; white hair a dirty blonde color. Will repeat rinse today. I am a dirty blonde so I don't plan to do the 7 day treatment. I am amazed. Add a drop or two of lavender oil or rosemary for nice scent.
memphis raynes: Fashionable gray hair, even young people dye their hair to look like this
URHO: The model is gorgeous! I feel like she's popular when she was in school.
constance royval: So every time you wash your hair your rinse in potato Bull. My hair is is thick in shiny. I have it thinned 3 times per year. This is after home color for the past 46 years. It's worth it when you go white at 18. Never would want to be baked potato brown.
Silena Prieto: Por favor traducir al español
Noeleen Wright: Black boot polish is wonderful and leaves a nice shine.
Chenaynay: You are quite right I was just thinking the same thing because the hair is wet that’s Why the hair got darker. Who do you think you are fooling Dr.
JESSICA: Gray hair is beautiful
Mira Wilder: Ok, so this is from 5 years ago... so I guess it didn't take off as a new and improved way to cover your grays LOLOLOLOL...what do you do with the potatoes afterward??? Make mash potatoes every other day when you wash your hair ???? Potato water???? OH please, a bunch of BS...how bout boiling Beets for purple ...and yams for blonding...Lemons work with the sun for lightening...plus they should have used a model with really grey hair. She had a brown tinge to her hair...and as others have said...they left her hair WET!
carlug03: this can also happen when you spit your hair
Vanessa Hreha: Every body has darker hair when its wet. When i was blonde my hair looked brown when wet. Then dried and was blonde again.
