Method 1 of 2: Honey Lightening Treatment

























Apply the honey mixture to your hair. Drape a towel over your shoulders to protect your clothes, then pour the honey mixture over your head in small doses and use your fingers to massage it in. Continue pouring honey onto your hair and working it in until all of your hair is completely covered in honey.

• You might want to cover your bathroom floor with a towel or wash cloth to protect it from drips, since sticky honey can be annoying to clean up.
• If you added a reddening powder to the honey, don't wear clothes or use towels that might stain red.

Cover your hair with plastic and let the honey sit. Use a shower cap or a few sheets of plastic wrap to cover your hair. Let the honey sit in your hair for at least 2 hours to achieve a lighter look.

• If you have long hair that's hard to keep up under the plastic, twist your hair into clips to pin it up while the honey treatment is working, then put the plastic over your clipped up hair.
• If you can manage to keep the honey in your hair overnight, you'll get much lighter results. It also acts as as deep conditioning treatment. Put a towel over your pillow and sleep wearing a shower cap.
• There's no need to use a blow dryer to apply heat. The honey works well at room temperature.
