Undiluted hydrogen peroxide from the bottle will also bleach your hair, but it is much stronger and thus more likely to damage your roots--which is why many people use honey to gently lighten their hair. Honey also acts as a moisturizer, which counteracts the drying effects of the peroxide within. This should be easy to find at most grocery stores and health-food outlets. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Honey is very sticky, and water loosens the consistency so that it is easier to apply to your hair. Apple cider vinegar acts as a natural conditioner. If you want a more drastic color change, consider adding several capfuls of hydrogen peroxide to the mixture. This accentuates the peroxide that is already present in honey, and reacts with your hair to bleach it several shades lighter. Do not add the extra peroxide if your hair is black or very dark brown--it may come out orange. For a reddish-blonde hue, you can add henna powder, cinnamon, or ground coffee to the mixture. Several tablespoons of hibiscus petals will add a strawberry-blonde tint. This will allow the ingredients time to settle. Drape a towel over your shoulders to protect your clothes, then gradually pour the mixture over your head in small doses. Use your fingers to massage the honey into your hair, and continue until your hair is completely saturated with honey. Consider standing on a towel to protect your floor from drips. Honey can be sticky and difficult to clean up. Use a shower cap or plastic saran wrap to keep the honey from dripping. Keep the honey in your hair for at least two hours to see a tangible effect. If possible, keep the honey in your hair overnight. If you have long hair that's hard to keep up under the plastic, twist your hair into clips to pin it up while the honey treatment is working, then put the plastic over your clipped up hair. If you can manage to keep the honey in your hair overnight, you'll get much lighter results. It also acts as as deep-conditioning treatment. Put a towel over your pillow and sleep wearing a shower cap. There's no need to use a blow dryer to apply heat. The honey works well at room temperature. Rinse it out with warm water, then shampoo and condition your hair as usual. Pat your hair dry with a towel and either let it air dry or blow it out. Your hair will now be honey-colored. Mix 1/4 cup honey and 1/2 cup conditioner. You can use any conditioner you like, as long as its scent mixes well with honey. Stir the conditioner and honey in a bowl until they are thoroughly combined. Store extra conditioner in an old conditioner bottle for later use. Use the same ratio of honey to conditioner to make a larger batch. After you shampoo your hair, use the honey conditioner just as you would your normal conditioner. Distribute a small amount through your hair and rinse it out when you're finished. Leave the conditioner in your hair for 5-10 minutes while you finish your shower for a greater lightening effect. If your hair feels sticky after rinsing, decrease the amount of honey you use and increase the amount of conditioner.

Most ovens require somewhere between 5-15 minutes to heat up to the desired temperature. Your oven may alert you when it is fully pre-heated. If not, consider purchasing an oven thermometer to determine precisely when it's reached the correct temperature. Make sure the sliced almonds are arranged evenly in a single layer. You can use anywhere between 12 cup (120mL) and 1 cup (240mL) of sliced almonds. Spread them across an ungreased, rimmed baking sheet. A rimmed baking sheet prevents the sliced almonds from spilling over the edges and burning in the oven. The almonds will take 10-15 minutes to toast completely, but pay careful attention to avoid burning them. You'll know the almonds are done when they're fragrant and golden brown around the edges. Take the almonds out before they turn dark brown since they'll continue to cook for a bit after you take them out of the oven. Allow the nuts to cool completely before using. This will make them extra crunchy. If you left the almonds in the oven for slightly too long, transfer them immediately to a cool tray or bowl to prevent further toasting from the hot baking sheet. If you're not using the almonds right away, store them in a sealable plastic bag to preserve their flavor and texture. They will retain their texture and flavor for up to 2 weeks. Toasted sliced almonds are very tasty and versatile and can be used in a wide variety of dishes. They can add color, texture, and flavor when sprinkled on top of salads, desserts and even pizza. Eat them on their own as a quick and healthy snack. Drizzle them in a little olive oil and sprinkle them with salt first, if you like. Mix them into cake, bread, and muffin batters. Toasted almonds are less likely to sink to the bottom than regular almonds. They will still be safe to eat after 2 weeks but will start to lose their texture and flavor. If you plan to store the almond slices immediately after toasting them, make sure you've allowed them to cool completely before storing. You can also freeze the nuts, which will keep them fresh for up to 3 months.
