Does lemon juice really help lighten hair?

does it really work?!?!?! how does it work? when do u put it in and how long does it take to work? i have brown hair with some natural blond highlights, and i want my hair to get lighter and have more highlights. will it work?Does lemon juice really help lighten hair?
ok. if you have blonde hair, it will probably lighten it more. if you have darker hair, then it wont work probably. but all you do is just squeeze the lemon, add some water, just a little, and stay in the sun. i tried that, but i have dark hair, it didnt work. this is what we do in turkey: we get a whole sunflower and boil it in water. the WHOLE sunflower. and then, take that water and spill it all over your hair. stay in the sun for a while. trust me it works. thats what i used and i have brown hair. you can even add some lemon in to make it work even more. GOOD LUCKI!!Does lemon juice really help lighten hair?
yes, i would do it all the time when i was younger because i was not allowed to dye my hair, i would take the bottle lemone juice and deluite it with water in a spray bottle, and then just pull out sections and soak them. after spending a day in the sun it looked like i had hi-lites, natural one. sun in works just as well too!
Definitely works. Put lemon juice in a spray bottle (with water- hairspray- serum-- something) and spray it on your hair before you go to the beach.... I always put a little bit of something into the bottle to help make my hair silky too- that way it lightens and its not frizzy and icky at the beach
lol! ya know whats funnny?? last night i put lemon juice in my hair to make it a lighter color! i didnt think it would work, but i gave it a try! and it worked! after you shampoo and condition then pur it in your hair. but only do 1/4 cup. then leave it in. and dont wash it out. then just dry your hair. and your hair will be lighter and prettyer! good luck!

^^ this website will tell you all about that and people who have tried it.



It will also inform you on how to apply the lemon juice to your hair.

It actually depends what type of hair you have as to how light the lemon juice will make your hair. If you have really dried out hair it might not work as well compared to someone with smoother hair.

Good luck and I hope your hair comes out looking great!

BTW: dying hair w. juice is much healthier than using chemicals!! =) -Summerxx
if your spending a day in the sun....lemon will bring out blonde highlights...

for darker hair....cranberry juice will bring out the redder tones (fact, becuase Ive tried it) and I hear that strong tea will bring out browner tones.

word of warning...cranberry juice makes your hair hard and crunchy...like too much moose. and watch out for bees !! lol
yes! lemon juice works but!! it will dry out your hair. not to mention in the heat, it smells a little rotten. its not pretty. and your hair may turn to the orange side depending on how brown your hair is.
mmm...ya u just have to sit outside forever!! If i were you i would try sun-in. It works so good u just have to put it in your hair and go do stuff outside in the sun!! I do it and it works really good!
it works... but damaging because it is straight acid... need some sun to heat activate.... good luck because really i don't think it is a good idea... but people do it all the time it seems
acid increases porosity and the sun can lift the color. Do not expect miracles- it only has a slight effect. Apply and be patient!
Totally. I use a lemon - honey thing in my hair every morning, and it works great! It brings out natural highlights.
ya i did it once. i got a product from bath and body works.
lemon juice does help lighten hair and it also gets rid of dandruff
try hydrogen peroxcide
If you stand in the sun for like hours, you'll go BLONDE
Yes
It really does work because the acid in the lemon lightens up your hair. Not by much, but if does lighten some . Using Pantene Brunette, (if you have dark hair) gradually your hair will get much lighter then before.
