It is best to leave it in over night(6-8 hours). Put a towel over your pillow so It won't get everywhere🙆 if you don't want to sleep with it, leave it in for at least 4 hours during day time:)

*6 hours later...* results!

TADA! My hair became a lighter shade of brown and it looks slightly red under the sun:) I had to wash it 2 times to get all the cinnamon completely out! But it smells amazing:)

Results- Blondes: strawberry blond, some brown highlights. Black: lighter brown, red tints. Red: red highlights and brown tints. Light brown: lighter shades and red tints. Dark brown: light brown.

Doing this one time may not give you the exact results you are looking for.you may not even see a difference😔 But don't be discouraged! I did it twice, 6 hours each, and I love the results!🙆💜
