1.5 c water, 4 T honey, 1 T of the extras. Let sit for an hour, washed hair, gooped the honey goo in, covered with plastic wrap and swim cap, fell asleep, washed out.

Oh egg wash. 1 whole egg, 2 yolks from very fresh, organic, free range eggs aka my yard. Whipped them frothy, put two glugs EVOO and some water in, whipped. If you did this with more rinsing and no other treatments, that'd be enough I think.

Thank you again. I am going to add this to your Innovations report to make it more complete.

Oh, if I make anything, always used distilled water. Egg wash isn't the standard mix, just what I had on hand, and the fat and oil helped relax the honey goo so it rinsed better.

There are many egg wash recipes on these boards. This one worked well for you. It is good to have all of the details as to how and why you think this one worked so well. I am adding all of this to to your report in one place in the Recent Innovations Post. That way it is easier to follow for others, who read the first post of this thread. ETA: Done!

Fun fun. I think I'm going to play with weekly nip rinses and bi weekly honey lightening. Don't want major color change, just less demarcation of the roots. But I do love my happy hair!

Here are my honey lightening results on my henna hair due to a couple of sloppy root touch ups that caused saturation of the henna.

I used the instruction for honey lightening from LHC, I used the NewZealand Honey 1part honey to 4 parts of water let it sit for an hour. soaked my hair with it covered it with plastic wrap and a thick towel and let it sit on my head for an hour.

I did 6 total individual Honey applications one each day

The pictures are fine as they are. Thank you so much for your report. The photos show how you no longer have the burgundy colour of henna saturation and the lighting is excellent. Very well done!

I am adding your report and pictures to the Pictures Posts of hennaed and henndigoed hair and the new dilution. ETA done!

Did you use distilled water or your tap water? Your results are wonderful for just honey and water, with no boosters like the spices or oils. Can you please name the brand and type of honey?
