Honey thread - from TBB and bits from old LHC

[ktani]

Just wondering, has anyone every mixed Honey with Hydrogen Peroxide and applied it onto their hair?

I'm too lazy to go through all 200 pages, hehe.

Yes they have but I do not recommend it.

Please read this thread - it is only 3 pages but the answers you seek are in the 1st 2.

Okay so I've read this entire thread and am still nervous about trying it. I have highlighted hair that has grown out about 3 inches. I also had lowlights added when I had the highlights put in.
I'm nervous about this making my hair reddish or coppery. I bought everything I need to try it but I'm still unsure. Will it lighten my highlights more? I want to even everything out but want to forgo the chemicals. I've been doing the b/s a/c/v rinse for a few months now and my curly hair is loving it. I'm trying to avoid chemicals.

I cannot predict results but you can strand text.

2 people bypassed red altogether and went from brown to blonde here.

HalcyonDays - on dark mid-brown virgin hair - with the correct 4 to 1 dilution using tap water - after 1 treatment - left on the hair for 2 hours - just water and honey. The lighting is dark in the before picture, so I requested a replacement picture.

This thread discusses the differences between the natural peroxide in honey lightening and conventional peroxide and gives a possible option to prevent hair damage before conventional colouring. I also explain why I do not think that adding conventional peroxide to a honey lightening recipe is a good idea.

The difference the correct 4 to 1 dilution can make in combination with the correct method. wintersun99 made sure that her hair was completely wet for the latest treatments and secured her shower cap, by wearing a hat over it.

I'm doing another treatment today, this time with the correct dilution and no cinnamon (the cinnamon made my skin a little itchy).

Yes, the spices can be problematic for some, even in small amounts.

Don't forget to make sure that your hair is really wet, like last time and that the shower cap is secured snugly on your head, to keep the hair very wet.

Good luck!

I look forward to your results. Pictures are welcome if you can but no worries if you cannot.

For some reason I opted for the cinnamon even though I read all the warnings and saw the pictures! I've never had a negative reaction to anything before so I was overly confident. All I can say is everyone Test on a small area of the skin first regardless of past experiences! My skin does NOT like cinnamon! I looked in the mirror and I had red streaks all down my face! It freaked me out so I washed it all out immediately! Luckily it went away in like 20 minutes.
I think I'll try again tomorrow but with EVOO and honey.
