Lightening your hair with honey

Honey, I love it! Especially raw honey, the one that is a bit bitter and not so hugely sweet. And you can do so much with honey! Honey is delicious in a cup of tea, as a substitute for sugar or on your sandwich. But honey is also really nice for your hair and skin; As a hair mask or face mask.

This is why it is also called the ‘curly Girl’ method. But this method is also suitable for people without curls! The reason why the conditioner only method is mainly used by people with curly hair, is because curly hair is naturally very dry hair.
