how do i make my hair lighter without chemicals?

Question

you see.. i dyed my hair yesterday and im a black head so i picked out a clariol orange hair dye and when i dyed it, it came out all orangy-brown-blackish and i wish it would be lighter or have a little blonde to it. is there ANY way i can make it lighter or blonder without dying or bleaching my hair again?

Answer 1

you could try lemon juice and sit in the sun but that really only gives you highlights not a dramatic change

Answer 2

Hi I wouldnt even touch it with another dye, until it washes out a bit I cant imagine why you wouldthink to put a lighter hairdye on top of the darkest one you have on your hair to make it lighter. The only way you can get rid of the problem is with bleach. Im not saying it will work as if the hair dye was a dark dye you might end up with the blonde you want or orange, but it would be lighter for you to dye over with a light brown. But I would only us Jerome Russel Blonde powder bleach with 12% cream peroxide, But if you dont want to damage your hair as much then just pre lighten it a couple of times. But you wont get the blonde you want.

But it I was iin your situation I would just be patient, go and get another hair dye in brown or light brown, in feria or Loreal excellence, or clarol with multi tonal ones, and then get some of that shampoo and condititoner that brings out the highlights in brunette hair and keep using this then it will look lighter as it start to fade. Most shops have there own make, Timoeti copper radience is good, as well as john freda brilliant brunette, but its a bit pricy. I have the same problem as you and yesterday in tesco I notice they do there own and its brilliant. So just stick to using these for the time being till it fades,
Also use pantene for a few washes as it removes most of the hair colour you have in your hair at the mo.

Hi

There is no way that you can make hair lighter without chemicals.

I know everyone is telling you to try lemon juice but honestly it will not work. This only works on naturally blonde people and lightens there hair very very slightly.

The sun may lighten your hair a tiny bit but you wont notice dramatic results.

Best go to a salon.... else you risk hair dmage be careful with stuff like lemon juice - i know its natural but its very acidic and it can harm ya hair it dries it out and can make it very straw like.

So just a warning as the advise on here isnt always correct.

thats because if you want it to be that much lighter and you have black hair you have to do it in stages and not expect a one time dye to do it. look on the boxes for the color guides it gives you an idea of what your hair will look like dyed depending on your hair color. to make your hair lighter during the summer when they sun is out you can put lemon juice( real lemon juice from lemons, and not bottled in the stores) on your hair and sit in the sun for awhile. it will lighten it up. wash it afterwards and you can repeat till it's what you want

Answer 5

My friend recently died her hair blonde but it came out orange she straightens her hair most to every day and now it is blonde rather than orange. You some heat control product on damp hair to protect the hair from the heat.

Answer 6

Just use a shampoo that will fade hair dye,like pantene clarifiying shampoo or head and shoulders,then try and dye your hair lighter after the hair has faded.

Answer 7

I have heard their is a product at the local drugstore, that can tame the overeffect, but unfortunately, I don't know what it is called. Maybe call the drugstore first, and ask for the beauty counter attendant.

Answer 8

not in a quick time frame! Lemon and sunlight is one way. Chemicals may be your only option if you want it done fast!
Peroxide may be the only way. Check the link below for how to do it with lemon juice.
