I would add all-over highlights and then add more and more every 3 months or so until it was as light as you want it.

Chamomile is probably the most popular herbal hair colorant among blonds. A weekly rinse with this herb tea will also remedy the brown streaking that results from overexposure to the sun, and brighten "dishwater blond" hair.
To prepare a chamomile rinse, steep half a cup of the flowers in a quart of boiling water for half an hour. Then strain the mixture, and let it cool while you shampoo. Now, pour the brew through your towel-dried hair at least 15 times (catching it in a basin each time, in order to use it again). Wring the excess moisture out and leave the solution in your hair for a quarter of an hour before rinsing it out with clear water.
Don't limit your herbal experiments to chamomile, however. Just about any yellow-blossomed flower or herb can be used on blond hair . . . including calendula (it's also called pot marigold), mullein blooms and leaves, yellow broom flowers, saffron, turmeric, and quassia chips.
Lemon is also a time-honored hair lightener. The juice of two of the citrus fruits, strained into a quart of water, makes an excellent rinse that can be used in the same way as the chamomile preparation. Try to dry your hair in the sun after using a lemon rinse, in order to get the most from the treatment's lightening effect.
Another native dye favored by blonds is prepared from rhubarb root ... and it'll add attractive honey gold tones to light brown hair, as well. To put those glints in your locks, pour three cups of hot water over four tablespoons of chopped rhubarb root, and simmer the concoction for 20 minutes. Strain it . . . pour it through your freshly shampooed hair 15 or more times ... rinse in clear water ... and again, weather permitting, dry it in the sun to strengthen the effect of the dyeing agent.

well ive done this quite a bit and it works:
Buy lemon juice in a bottle and some foil.
Select where you want your highlights and wet the selected hair with lemon juice (wet it very thoroughly) - then wrap it up in foil.
Now - go have a lazy afternoon in the sun - and ensure your head is in the sun.
After a couple of hours (approx 2) take the foil off then jump in the shower and wash your hair as normal
Voila! highlights from nature:)

Maybe you could try that John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze that fits your color of blonde. I use it for my dark brown hair, and it brightens my hair color a little bit...makes it look like I've got natural highlights, and makes it a bit more shiny. It's not really a hair dye...all you do is put it on after you've shampooed, etc., leave it on for five minutes, then rinse it out! After you use it for a couple days, you'll see results. It's a better alternative for hair dye! :)

Never heard of a shampoo doing that. Lemon juice I heard might work. But honestly, the only thing I can think of is the sun.

only works if you are out in the sun, but for blonde highlights comb lemon juice through your locks and for red highlights use cranberry juice, and then let the sun do all the rest. it might take a few times to see noticable differance, but it does work....

it is quite likely no longer as undesirable as you imagine, lol. i have dyed my hair darkish numerous situations and in many situations, i presumed it got here out too darkish yet i quite had to easily get used to seeing my new hair. I were given lots of compliments after the dye job and after I were given used to it, i had to dye it that colour lower back. My cousin lately did the same element and change into quite mad that her hair became out as darkish because it did, yet now she likes it, lol. yet besides, in case you used a dye that is meant to bathe out in a particular style of washes (some say 8-24, etc) then you definately can lighten it with the aid of washing it till it is mild adequate. i got here upon that the first authentic reliable wash after I dyed it type of helped make it seem quite a lot less drastic so that you'll purely leap contained in the bathe with some non-colour probability-free shampoo and conditioner. i does no longer bypass get it stripped although, I purely listen undesirable issues about stripping which contain ugly copper tones in hair.

lemon juice will damage your hair horribly. it opens the pores so that the sun has a chance to dry it out and you'll be left with crispy hair. try using Sun-In. its cheap and if you go for the medium one it looks natural and only lightens gradually.

Juice from a lemon works but I'm not sure if heat or actual sunlight activates it.I know it works during summer
