Answer 1

lemon on your hair and sit in the sun...or just dry it in with a really hot blow dryer...

Answer 2

Lemon juice does work.. Drip it onto a comb and comb through your hair. And go out in the sun a lot.. Or, you can buy Sun-In. From Walmart. I used it. It works good, But don't forget you need to go in the sun. It's only like 3 bucks and it lasts all summer.. I had some left over. Within a week my friends were saying, did you dye your hair? It only works if you don't have like dark hair..like dark brown, dark red, or black... I highly reccomend sun-in

Answer 3

I have already answered this question, see my history. You can buy chamomile tea at your supermarket in the same place you buy other varieties of tea. I have pasted my reply below:

I grew up in Italy and I remember running as a little girl in fields of pretty flowers (camomille), similar to daisies. My mother used to rinse my hair with boiled camomille.

Chamomile (also Camomille)

To lighten blond hair by one or two shades, brew a strong cup of chamomile tea and use it as a final rinse after shampooing, but do not rinse off the tea. Instead, towel dry and then expose the hair to the sun for a few minutes.

Make a very strong tea with camomille, let cool and put in plastic bottle to use on a regular basis after your shampoo.

If you go out in the sun, it works faster. You'll notice the difference after a few rinses. It is all natural.

Camomille is incredible. It is used for medicinal purposes, as a natural sleep aid, it can be given to babies to relieve colic...and many other uses.

You will probably notice shampoos and rinses made with camomille but the do-it-yourself preparation works better and faster.

Answer 4

Yes lemon will lighten your hair but only if you go out in the sun, mix 2 parts lemon juice to one part water.. and spray it on.. remember it only works in the sun and won't give you a dramatic change..

Answer 5

Lemon + Honey

Then sit down at the sun

Answer 6

Lemon Juice works very well if your hair is a light brown. i wouldnt recomend it for someone with darker hair because it might lighten your hair to a reddish color.

Answer 7

You can use lemon juice or chamomile tea, but it won't lighten your hair much...it's best to use dye and use a lot of conditioner afterwards...after that, you only need to touch up your roots and not your whole head (which means you won't damage your hair too much).

Answer 8

Sometimes if you stay out it the sun it can lighten your hair. When I went to brazil, by brother's turned reddish brown and he has dark brown hair

Answer 9

Use lemon juice in the last rinse then sit in the sun or blow dry your hair.
