Can I lighten my blonde hair with lemon juice? (10 pts for a good answer)?

i have light blonde hair, but its not completely blonde all the way. it gets way lighter at the front and gets almost dirty blonde at the back. has anyone tried putting lemon juice in their hair to lighten it?

i dont want a huge difference, but i want a slightly lighter shade at the back and the roots. when should i use the juice? before or after i take a shower? if i have oily hair should i wash it first? does the hair have to be wet?

one last thing, should i mix the lemon juice with anything else? ive heard that u can mix it with all sorts of stuff to make it work better

thank you!!! %26lt;3

Wow! I didn't know people still did this. I did try it when I was younger and it lightened my hair a little. Don't take a shower first. Squeeze the lemon juice onto slightly damp hair and then lay out in the sun. I would check your hair after 30 minutes and see if it is working. Wash out once hair is lightened.

I also brushed on hydrogen peroxide with a comb. You only use a little and use a comb so it looks like natural highlights. I wouldn't go into the sun with peroxide on my hair or it might get too light very quickly. You can blow dry it and then wash your hair immediately after you achieve the desired effects. Be careful when doing this and don't leave it on too long. Sun In also works like hydrogen and you just spray it in your hair and blow it dry.

I have also heard of mixing 1/4 cup strong chamomile tea with 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1 tbsp honey.

I think the best thing to do is go and buy a cheap highlighting kit at the store and have a friend brush in some highlights. If done correctly, this will give you the best results.

yeah you can... just cut one in half and rub it into your hair... the more you are in the sunlight the faster it will bleach it... thats how they do it in Cali.

I've never heard the lemon juice as a hair bleach... But what I have heard and have used and has worked to lighten my dark brown hair is chamomille tea. Just buy some chamomille, boil it in water and wash your hair with that water. It made my hair slightly lighter for the summer.

once in high school i put peroxide in my brothers hair spray, it as when he had a job at the park for the summer. he got a white hair in one spot and thought it was just from the sun....

I've never heard of lemons but if you try the peroxide, only go in the sun for a little bit then wash it out!!!

Yes you can if you sit in the sun. But lemon juice is really not good for your hair; it'll dry it out and can actually burn it in combination with the sun.

Have you tried those highlighting shampoos for blonde hair?

Lemon Juice will lighten your hair, but just becarefull because b/c it's so high in acid it can burn and dry your hair. If you decide to do it mix the lemmon juice with leave in conditioner aply it leave it on for a while but avoid the sun while it is on you. do this once a week and your hair will lighten and it will not be damaged!

My mom has blonde hair and used to do this. She would put it on while wet and still standing in the shower (no water running) she would let it sit for a minute. It seemed to work a little but not much of a difference. Dont know any of the other questions you asked. But Ive also heard of people putting peroxide in their hair. Now I have done that, I have dark brown hair and it did change it lighter and gave it a pretty red tint (not orange). You apply it to dry hair and go sit in the sun for about 1/2-1 hour or blow dry it (heat). Not sure how this works on blonde hair. But now my mom uses Sun In and it lightens her hair nicely. You can get this at any drug store in hair care section and its fairly cheap.
