Then, apply it to wet hair and allow your hair to dry naturally. See if you notice a lightening effect.  Wait until your hair has dried on its own to wash or rinse. Repeat this treatment once a week to slowly lighten your hair. Don't do it any more than this or you could damage your hair. Honey and vinegar can also work together to lighten hair naturally. A simple recipe using honey and vinegar can be used on your hair if you want to lighten its natural shade.  Use raw, unpasteurized honey, which you can find at most health food stores. Use a cup of raw honey, two cups of distilled vinegar, a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and a tablespoon of ground cardamon or cinnamon. Mix the ingredients together into a paste.  Run your hair under the shower to get it damp. Divide your hair into sections. Apply the paste to each section from roots to tips. Wrap your hair using plastic wrap and keep the wrap secure using a shower cap or swim cap.  Leave the mixture in overnight. Then, wash it out in the morning. Simple baking soda works by stripping your hair of the chemical buildup that can darken your locks. Mix a small bit of baking soda into your shampoo when showering once a week. With time, your hair should begin to lighten. This method might take a few weeks before you get your desired effect. This method works well for people who have already dyed their hair using professional dye or who use many styling products. The common spice cinnamon can actually help lighten hair. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon powder to a small handful of your regular conditioner. Evenly coat your hair, working from the roots to the tips. Pull your hair back, securing it with clips or ties when necessary. Cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap. Leave in overnight and then rinse and shampoo in the morning. Salt mixed with water creates a natural lightening agent you can safely use on your hair. Mix one part salt without about 5 parts water. Rinse the mixture into your hair and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. Then, wash your hair. See if it gets any lighter. Gather juice from three lemons, two bags (four grams) of camomile tea steeped in one cup (eight ounces) of boiling water, one teaspoon (5 grams) of cinnamon, and one tablespoon (0.5 ounces) of almond oil.  When the tea has cooled, strain out the leaves and combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and transfer to a spray bottle. Shake before use and spray the mixture on the areas of your hair that you want to lighten. Expose your hair to the sun for 10 to 15 minutes, making sure to take the necessary precautions to protect yourself from the UV rays.

SUMMARY: Try lemon. Use honey and vinegar. Use baking soda. Consider cinnamon. Add salt. Lighten hair with a homemade leave-in conditioner.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order to attract a sponsor, you will also need to develop a clearer picture of your previous relations with sponsors. If you have had sponsorships before, try to get testimonials from the companies that you worked with in the past. Consider putting these testimonials and other materials documenting your history in a press kit for potential sponsors. Once you meet to pitch your event, you will need to have detailed demographics about your target audience. You will want to demonstrate the areas in which there is overlap between your demographics and the sponsor’s customers. If a company is considering making an investment, they will need full details on who has attended the event in the past. Prepare some visual aids like charts and graphs to convey the areas of overlap. A sponsor wants a clear-cut answer to what the company gains by supporting your event. Give the sponsors a clear picture of how the event will benefit them. Avoid being vague or making any soft promises. Describe the marketing advantages or the financial incentives for supporting your event in detail. Detail your vision of the event and outline how you intend develop it. Bring promotional materials from previous events and discuss any changes to the old theme. This is especially helpful for those sponsors who may not be familiar with the event.  You should talk to the sponsors about their presence at the event. For example, let them know where their booth will be located. Be flexible and let the sponsors have some input about the theme. This may make your event more attractive. Include details about what type of media you will use, and how you will promote the sponsor in pre-event publicity. Discuss how you have marketed the event in the past. Be sure to bring any available marketing materials to the pitch and show it to the sponsors.  For example, bring any print material and show the sponsors where their logo will be displayed. Show them any previous commercials or advertisements for the event. Link your sponsor's existing marketing campaign to your event if possible. The clearer the connection, the more attractive your event will be to the sponsor. Instead of only pitching your ideas about marketing and potential profits, try to connect with the marketers on a personal level. Appeal to their companies stated mission or history of sponsorship. When appropriate, appeal to representatives' emotions, especially if the event's goal is to raise funds for a charitable cause.  For example, if your potential sponsor has a stated commitment to the environment, mention how your event recycles and lowers its carbon footprint. Building a strong relationship will keep the sponsor coming back year after year or for multiple events.

SUMMARY:
Give your sponsorship history. Prepare demographic data for potential sponsors to review. Pitch the benefits of sponsorship. Present a clear strategy for how you intend to develop the event's theme. Outline the marketing strategy you will pursue to promote the event. Focus on building a relationship.
