Here's What Happens When You Dye Your Hair With Honey And Vinegar

Writer James Rogers

Age and environmental factors can contribute to your hair changing color over time (via My Hair Print), and hair lightening is one such consequence. Perhaps you want to reminisce about a time when your locks were of a brighter shade or maybe you just want to try your hand at homemade mixtures to dye your hair a lighter tint. This blend of honey and vinegar works well for both purposes. 

The glucose oxidase and glucose found in honey work together to create the bleaching agent hydrogen peroxide (via Gisou), while apple cider vinegar acts as the distributing agent, per My Hair Print. To make your DIY dyeing mask, you'll need honey (one cup), apple cider vinegar (two cups), extra-virgin olive oil (1 tablespoon), and cinnamon powder (1 tablespoon), according to Medicine Net. Mix them all together and using your fingers, work the dye in through wet hair strands, making sure you coat all of your hair. Wait 10 minutes and wash it off. 

If you want to keep the application on overnight you can, as long as you wear a shower cap and sleep on an old pillowcase you can discard or lay a towel over your regular pillow, reports My Hair Print. Home-made mixtures usually take time and repeated applications to show results so you might want to keep trying until you do, per Mane Addicts
