Lemon juice actually work??

Question

Does lemon juice actually lighten your hair or highlight it?

Answer 1

Yes, if you stay out in the sun, it accelerates the suns bleaching, but it doesn't do your hair any good.

Answer 2

Yes it does work. It'll lighten your hair if you put it all over it'll give it a "highlight" effect if you just do sections of your hair. (although it won't turn out nearly as nice as it does if you go to a salon)

My girlfriend used to do this all the time when we were growing up. Then she discovered Sun-In. That works great! And it didn't dry her hair out like the lemon juice seemed to do. She said she even used the hair dryer to "activate" it so it would lighten her hair. I guess heat is what makes the product work.

Answer 3

yes it actually works, but the key is to use real lemon juice not the bottled stuff. take three or four lemons and get all the juice, put it in a spray bottle and slowly wet your hair down. sit in the sun. hay you can get a tan too. spray hair every hour.
now it doesn't work in one day do it every other day or so, give it a week or so. remember you have to wash your hair after every use or your hair will sour.
and depending on how much you use depends on how your hair will turn out



ps don't focus on one spot :( badddd idea

Answer 7

I've actually heard that it does.... but it takes a while for the process to work. you'd be better off going to have it done at the beauty shop. It just takes way too long to get results that way. Plus you have to stay in the Sun a awful lot to get results as well.

Answer 8

It will lighten it but it can turn your hair a weird shade of red/orange.

Answer 9

Yes, with a mixture of water. Spray it on your hair and lay in the sun or use the blow dryer. It's got the same effect as Sun in but it doesn't turn red.
Also peroxide works the same exact way.

Answer 10

Yes, but it is bad, really bad for your hair. Go by sun in that is not as harsh and works a little better

Answer 11

yes it does lighten your hair
