how many hours a day do you think you would hav to stay in the sun to turn brown hair to blonde?

Question

would spending lots of time in the sun lighten your hair to the extent of it becoming from brown to blonde

Answer 1

If you go to the beach and spend time in and out of the water for the summer you will have naturally streaked blond hair. It won't be ALL blond, just streaks.

Answer 2

Your hair can become light brown, but not blonde. A natural way to make highlights is to take a slice of lemon, make a cut in the middle and draw parts of hair you want to be lighter through that cut. I tried this after swimming in the sea and I stayed in the sun until my hair was completely dry, so it might have been an hour or so.

Answer 3

Like everyone else said, lemon juice. But it will just lighten it, not give you a full head of blonde hair. Also, if your hair is a lighter shade of brown I recommend using sun-in. I used it for my hair when it was a light blonde and it helped lighten it and never turned it orange.

Answer 4

It won't fully lighten it to blonde blonde....my hair is very brown and after a long Australian summer in the sun, it goes down a couple of shades....definitely not blonde, but it gets a goldeny glow.

If you want to go blonde a bit faster, add some lemon juice to your hair before you go out in the sun. But if you want to be an actual blonde, go to your hairdresser....

Answer 5

From a health point of view you are supposed to keep exposure to the sun to a maximum of 20 minutes. As it would take far longer for direct sunlight to bleach your hair I reckon you'd need a very strong sunblock to avoid serious skin damage. The best advice I can think of is to go to the hairdressers. That way you won't end up looking like a blonde lobster.

Answer 6

There is no possible way you could turn your hair completely blonde, just by sitting in the sun. The sun would just bring out your natural highlights.

Answer 7

no amount of time, will turn brown to blond if your hair is
dark,as the sun will only bleach hair a few shades lighter.

Answer 8

I'm not sure exactly how many hours but it will make your hair go blonde. Mine ends up a honey blonde and people always accuse me of streaking and dying my hair.

Answer 9

If you have brown hair go to this website:

Go down and read the one about cuppa chamomile.
I hope it helps!
P.S.: If you do this, make sure you use sunscreen when yoiu sit out in the sun because i don't know how long you'll have to sit in it. It depends how dark your hair is, but it shouldn't take too long.

Answer 10

yes... spending time outside will change your hair but it depends on the hair and amount of time... but, there is this stuff you can buy from like, any local drug store... i dont remember exactly what its called but its something like sun-in spray... you just spray it on your hair and go outside or use a hair dryer for alittle bit and it lightens your hair... the more you use the lighter it gets
