Honey lightens hair dramatically.

It is necessary to repeat the application of honey several times. You can save time by extending the standing time before rinsing to more than an hour. Another trick is to expose your hair to the sun while the honey rests on the hair. Some masks still based on honey also lighten the hair faster than a classic pose.

Let it action for an hour also then rinse.
Lemon, the miracle solution
Unlike honey, lemon provides almost immediate results. However, due to its acidity, it tends to dry out the hair. So plan a moisturizer in parallel with the application of lemon juice.

To amplify an effect which is already very lightening, it is possible to expose the hair to the sun, while it is impregnated with the juice.
Let sit for two hours before rinsing. Lemon is so effective that one application or two is enough to give a visible effect. Because lemon dries out hair, if you have naturally dry hair, do not apply a lot of the solution to your hair. Proceed chronically by impregnating your hair with only a few drops per application, multiplying the applications and distributing them over a long period. Each application should be spaced at least a few days.

Put the water to cool. Use this water as a rinse water after shampooing. Chamomile can also be sprayed on the hair with the same effectiveness. It also exists in the form of macerate, hydrosol or powder ink.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is also a product with lightening power. It is particularly recommended for dark hair. It gives them copper reflections of the most beautiful effect.
