When I was 10 I was begging my mom to let me dye my hair. But of course I was way too young to get into that so my mom talked to my hairdresser and she said to try lemon juice. If you soak your hair in it for 20 a day for 3 or more days it will lighten your hair. It works best in the summer because the sun stimulates it. I think it works.

Lemon juice, etc. would probably make your hair look weird because it's naturally so dark. Try Brilliant Brunette Toffee-Almond Color Glaze. It has VERY subtle, temporary dyes (you can tell your mom that it doesn't have any) and it basically gives your hair natural shine and dimension. In addition, it's GOOD for your hair, unlike chlorine and sunlight, which are very bad. It's about 10 $. It really is great!

The only way to make your hair lighter is dyeing it. There is no natural way to make your hair lighter.

There is a natural way to do this...
buy henna dye from a health food store...
it's not permanent.... but it doesn't damage your hair.

lemon juice and sunshine or go swimming in a clorinated pool in the summer. Perms lighten your hair as well. Peroxide will lighten it as well.

well bleach and then sit in the sun... or lemon juice and sit in the sun. There is sun in and then blow dry your hair even though its already dry. it works.
