u can make ur hair lighter with lemons?

Question

how do they do this?

Answer 1

Mix pure lemon juice with water(or no water, depending on how light you want it), put it in a spray bottle and apply it to your hair, or use your fingers to make streaks, spend some time outside in the sun, the chemicals or something lighten your hair and it is completely healthy

Answer 2

If you put lemon juice in your hair and then go in the sun, the reaction will cause the lemon juice to "bleach" your hair. I do not recommend using this method, as that it is virtually impossible to get an even lightening. Also, if you have hair that is any darker than blond, this method will cause your hair to turn orange. It also isn't very good for your hair, it will dry it out, but so will any lightening method. If you're trying to lighter your hair, either use a professional strength lightener available at your local beauty supply, or if you want it to be more subtle, dye your hair a couple shades lighter.

Answer 3

I don't know why, but you can put lemon juice in your hair, then go out in the sun for a while, and it should lighten it temporarily. If you have dark hair it probably won't work very well, though. You can buy this stuff called Sun In at the grocery store in the hair color section, which is the same except it reacts to heat instead of light. You just spray it in your hair, then go out in the sun or put a blow dryer to your head and it will lighten it. But once again, it works better on lighter hair. It turns dark hair yellowy-orange! Trust me, I would know.

Answer 4

This isn't always effective. Apparently, if you pour natural lemon juice onto your hair then stay out in the sun for a long time it will bring out natural highlights. If you want to lighten effectively you'll need to use an actual bleach or dye.

Answer 5

You put it on your hair! It does not turn dark brown hair to blonde, though. It just highlights your hair. You can repeat it several times until you get it as light as you want, but it will never make dark brown hair blonde, maybe red, but not blonde.

Dark blonde hair will get highlights and maybe blonde streaks if you use it a few times.

Sitting out in the sun or under a sun lamp speeds up the process. You can also just use heat, and this will speed it up, like put a plastic cap on your head and wrap it with a hot towel.

Answer 6

cut a lemon, and rub your hair with a half or a slice of it. It's the acid in the lemon juice, it sort of bleaches your hair. that's the theory, anyway.

Answer 7

Everything I've read says that putting lemon juice on your hair can really damage it. And if you're brunette, it can make your hair orange.

Answer 8

yes u can first u wash ur hair then rinse like normal then add diluted lemon juice then wait a minute and rinse with cool water. and it works

Answer 9

my sister did that. it actually does lighten it. get your hair damp and get a bottle of lemon juice and thoroughly soak your hair. go out in the sun for awhile and reapply the lemon juice every so oftten.

Answer 10

hey I've seen that photo on match.com and loveaccess.com
are you really 21? thats funny the previous adds said that you were 27 and 33. Maybe someone is stealling your photo,...

anyway,... no I don't think it is possible, unless you add bleach to the blend. But why add lemons in the first place - right?
