Tips to Tweak the Recipe

You can use Coconut Oil, Olive Oil or other oils if your choice in place of Sweet Almond Oil.
You can also add Essential Oils if you like.
Adjust the water quantity according to the consistency.

Why These Ingredients?
Cinnamon is a great way to lighten even dark hair and promote hair growth. However since we don’t touch the roots, we’re gong with the lightening benefit more.
We know about Argan Oil already and use it a lot in our recipes and HY Vitamins has a humungous list of products that use Argan Oil as the base. So this needs no introduction.
Sweet Almond Oil is one of my favorites as it is light but rich in Vitamin E and can easily penetrate roots and promote hair growth. It doesn’t weigh down hair and leaves hair shiny and soft.
Honey is a humectant and as such a good base to work with considering bleaching can be tough on your hair without right protection aids. This also strengthens your hair follicles and helps with lightening your hair naturally.
Like every other recipe, feel free to tweak the recipe to suit you needs and preferences. Keeps us posted with your results. Have you tried HY Vitamins for your hair and scalp care needs yet?
