Tuesday Tips 7: Lighten Hair Color With Lemons

Hi Beauties!

This summer many of you may want to "recreate" yourselves and change up your hair color. Box dyes can be very risky, and salons can be very pricey. However, I have a quick and easy way you can lighten your hair and still play it safe!

You will need:
Lemon juice (concentrated or fresh)
Warm water
Sun exposure

On a sunny day, rinse your hair with the lemon juice diluted in warm water at the end of your shower. While it is still wet/damp, go lay outside (with sunscreen of course), or run some errands, making sure to get sun exposure. The longer the exposure, the more effective. The lemon and the sun will both help lighten the color of your hair over time. You can even put the lemon juice mixture in a spray bottle to reapply if you are going to be spending a lot of time outdoors.

If you have dry hair, add your lemon juice to your conditioner instead, as citrus acid can be over drying. Do this only once a week, and repeat until you get your preferred color!

PS: The sun in the summer is stronger, so it will work the best!
