How to Use Honey to Lighten Hair<\/b> Naturally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While honey can be applied directly onto your hair, it helps to mix it with water in order to thin it and make spreading it on your hair easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. In a small bowl, mix honey and water in the ratio of 4:1. For example, you can add a tablespoon of water to 4 tablespoons of honey. You can as well use apple cider vinegar in the place of water; in which case the apple cider vinegar acts like a conditioner.<\/li>
  2. Apply the mixture using your finger and massage it gently into your hair. Continue until all your hair is covered with honey if you want the whole head of hair lightened; otherwise apply on the hair strands (or locks) in the parts of the head for which lightening is desired.<\/li>
  3. Cover your hair using a shower cap or plastic wrap and leave it as such for 2 to 3 hours. If possible, let the plastic wrap or the shower cap intact overnight for best results.<\/li>
  4. Rinse your hair with warm water to wash the honey off before shampooing and conditioning your hair as you normally do. Finally dry your hair by patting it gently with a towel or using a blow dryer.<\/li>
  5. Voila: That is all it takes to use honey to lighten your hair. Your hair will at this stage have a shade of color similar to that of honey.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
