A little lemon juice in your hair, and you're set until September!
* 2 cups water
* 2 cups chamomile tea
* 1 tablespoon of parsley
* 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Boil all the ingredients and let it simmer for 15 mins. Strain out the tea bags and parsley (make sure to remove all of the parsley) and let it sit till room temperature. Poor on to hair over a sink and rinse two or three times.
