Do you think if I put lemon juice in my light brown hair it will make it lighter?

Answer 1

Yes..it works for me and always has...it has also worked for everyone else that I know that has tried it.

Don't listen to the so called colorist who says that peroxide is the only way to lighten your hair. Peroxide will only damage your hair and plus its a colorist...why would a colorist confirm there are other ways to color your hair and risk losing bussiness?

Answer 2

It will make your hair a little lighter, but that works way better in the summer time because something with the sun and the lemon juice really makes hair go lighter.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Mix lemon juice with water and put it in an old rinsed out spray bottle. This summer, or if you are in warm climate, spray it on your hair when you go outside or lay by the pool. You will have golden locks before you know it!

I used to do it every summer, before I had to start coloring my hair to cover the gray! :)

Good luck!

P.S. I would not use peroxide as mentioned above, it can be very damaging after a few years.

Answer 4

I am a licensed cosmetologist and the answer is no. Lemon juice is not a very good lightener, at best it works a little on blonde hair. If you want to lighten your hair peroxide is the way to go and this is best done by a hair stylist.
