Ok so many of you will probably laugh at this but I attempted to lighten my hair with ingredients in the kitchen. I have to say that some of the spots were lightened but I think I need to use more of the mixture.
The ingredients are cinnamon, honey, olive oil, conditioner, and water. Cinnamon is so hard to wash out that's why they said to add a little conditioner. I had to put the shampoo in my hair and rub back and forth almost scrubbing my hair. It was crazy, I had cinnamon everywhere. I smelled liked a cinnamon graham cracker, it was so funny.
I wish I could share some pictures but the camera isn't catching the difference in color. I made a mistake in the before and after photos by not using the same lighting. I think I will give this another shot but this time I will use more of it and focus it one section of hair to see if there is a difference.
I did this because if I can lighten my hair without bleach then I can get color to take. My main goal is to not bleach. I did it once and my hair broke horribly. Not matter what I did to it I couldn't stop the breakage. Some people bleach and have no issues and the rest of us aren't so lucky. If you know your hair can take the bleach then I say go for it but I'm just looking for alternatives.
