Perfect - thank you.

You are the first to report in with the correct 4 to 1 dilution, distilled water and pictures.

Congratulations - you started off with boiled cinnamon - had to start over and look at your hair now - amazing!

You used less cinnamon than most have - but your results - fantastic IMO.

So.. here are my before and after pictures. I'll let you comment before saying anything, so you are unbiased

An encore of your results, with recipe and method in one place.

200 ml distilled water to 50 ml black locust honey, with 1 tsp cinnamon.

Applied to wet hair, covered with a shower cap for 1 hour only.

According to this, 2 tablespoons = 42 grams or ml.

So you would need 168 ml distilled water but what you used was close enough, IMO.

I see no point in making this too difficult.

With the 4 parts water to 1 part honey dilution - incorrectly calculated - because of my oversight as it was - the reported honey lightening results still very much improved.

Less spice could be used with better results than before the 4 to 1.

Now with the correct calculations + distilled water, it looks as if even less spice can be used for great results.

Hi Ktani,
I've linked this post in my journal/blog so I can keep track of it, hope that's cool?

That is exactly what I set up for - it is very cool.

Now - look at #15 - Jan in ID's results - then soleluna's results!

I'm having a hard time seeing a difference in Jan in ID's hair color, although it appears that the root area/canopy area is lighter??? It could just be my laptop though, lot's of times I see a different color depending on my connection and which room I am in...

soleluna's hair is stunning! Just gorgeous!

Jan in ID's colour difference is very visible to me.

ah ha! I just moved to a different room and I'm getting a better connection/picture (maybe it's a wi-fi thing?) but her color/lightening is definitely noticeable! way to go Jan
