### **Instructions**
1. **Mix the Dye Shampoo**
In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, water or tea, and honey (if using). Stir into a smooth paste. Then add the shampoo and oil, mixing until fully blended.
2. **Apply to Hair**
Wet your hair, then apply the mixture evenly from root to tip. You can use your hands or a dye brush. Massage it gently into the scalp to stimulate circulation.
3. **Let It Sit**
Cover your hair with a shower cap or wrap it in a towel. Let the shampoo sit for **30 minutes to 1 hour**—the longer it stays on, the more noticeable the color boost will be.
4. **Rinse Thoroughly**
Rinse with warm water until all the mixture is out. Follow with conditioner if desired.
5. **Repeat Weekly**
Use once a week for best results. Over time, you’ll notice your hair getting richer in tone, softer, and shinier.

### **Tips for Best Results**
* This works best on **medium brown to dark brown hair**. It may add warm highlights to black hair but won’t dramatically change color.
* Always do a **strand test first** to see how your hair reacts.
* The color deepens gradually, so be patient and consistent.
* Avoid contact with eyes—cinnamon can sting!
