I do not expect people to read every page or post in this thread.
That is why I update and have a record of posts to illustrate information.
The latest information is in the last few pages as things progress.
Anyone can post a question or pm me - I will reply to both methods.

Thank you
Yes, ktani, my cardamom was ground. Sorry, forgot that part!And I almost forgot, my honey was Aunt Sue's raw, all natural honey (it was the darkest in the store) and it's an offshoot of SueBee. I just finished taking some pictures too!
Top of my head, hair swept over.
My hair looks about this color to me indoors, maybe a little lighter.
My hair in the sun.
These were all taken about 5:30pm pst.

DolphinPrincess...
where are you finding that your hair is lightening the most? I wonder because it does not appear that my hair is lightening at the outermost layer, but the under layers and at the roots, it has definitely lightened to the henna red, however - the outermost layer is still indigo dark. It's so weird!

WOW!
That is some lightening - you did it.
Amazing results.
And thank you for the honey and cardamom information.
I will add the honey to the list.
How is the condition of your hair? - it looks really shiny.

Until DolphinPrincess went conditioner free in her honey lightening her recipe, and stayed with the 4 parts water to 1 part honey - she did not get much lightening at all.
Your latest results while good, were still with using conditioner.
Why not try going without conditioner and either cardamom or cinnamon in 1 cup chamomile tea to 1/4 cup honey and 1 tblsp EVOO as DolphinPrincess did?
She used 2 tablespoons cardamom this time - you would need to patch test it first.

So there's the strongest concentration of dye in those areas making it the hardest part to lift and lighten.
Ktani - Thanks! Until the sun picture, I knew I had some lightening, but my goodness!

ok - well I am actually trying this newer idea right now - but with what I had on hand... ha ha - so, here's my newest concoction... don't tag it as a new mix until we find out how it turns out
I used:
1/8 c Nature's Energy honey
1/2 c of my Yogi Bedtime tea which has (chamomile, cardomon seed, cinnamon bark, and lots of other stuff in it)
3 tbls of cinnamon powder (mixed into the tea first, then added to honey)
it's super drippy, not sure I'm stoked about that, but we shall see....
ETA: forgot to use the EVOO, oops
