I mixed the chamomile tea very strong - several tea bags. And it
did show notable dye release but not near as much as with lemon
juice. It was pretty hot and humid that night so maybe that helped
prompt dye release.

The color has held up fine. It even seems to have changed less
during oxidation than my other samples.
If you decide to try this later let me know how it turns out. I'm
curious if this was just a wierd reaction with my hair or if it can
be reproduced.

: So the chamomile was acidic enough to prompt dye release? And you
used
: chamomile only in the pinkish/cherry result? Perhaps I will try
that next time ... and
: the cherry color held up after a few days oxidizaiton?
