Lemon juice is probably the most well known lightener that is both natural and effective, but the acid in lemon juice (if used undiluted or too frequently) can be drying. Another downside to lemon juice is that you have to use it a few times to get noticeable results.



Here's a lemon recipe for hair lightening:

Lemon Juice Lightener

1 part lemon juice

4 parts distilled water

Mix together and rinse your hair with it you shampoo and condition. If you want, you can do the final rinse several times - all you have to do is catch the lemon juice rinse off with a basin. Towel-dry your hair, and you're done. Going out in the sun afterward helps the process along.



If I were you, I'd consider using something less harsh like the options below:



- Steeping certain herbs and rinsing your hair with them can also lighten your natural color and enhance highlights. Just about any yellow-blossomed flower or herb can be used on blond hair, including calendula (pot marigold), mullein blooms and leaves, yellow broom flowers, saffron, turmeric, and quassia chips.



- Honey really works well too. It conditions your hair and releases a mild amount of hydrogen peroxide when diluted to lighten your hair without damaging it.



- Rhubarb root gives a honey-colored hue to blond and light-brown hair.



If those ingredients sound more appealing to you, try one of these recipes:

Dilute Honey Lightener

1 part honey

2 Parts conditioner (V05 SKR reportedly works well)

Mix the honey and conditioner and apply to hair. Wrap head with saran wrap and a warm hat. Let sit for 8 hours and rinse.



Natural Blonde Dye

2 whole uncut fresh lemons (squeezed %26amp; strained for juice)

2/3 ounces or 20 grams of marigold flowers (you can buy at health food store)

2/3 ounces or 20 grams of chamomile flowers (buy at health food store)

1 - 1 录 ounces or 30 grams of finely chopped or powdered rhubarb root (grocery store or heath food store)

2 ounces or 50 grams of acacia honey (health food store)

1 pint or 陆 liter cider vinegar

2 ounces or 50 grams of 95% proof alcohol (liquor store).



Put the vinegar and rhubarb into a stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer very gently for 10 minutes. Be sure to make it exactly 10 minutes. Less or more may cause problems. Add the chamomile and marigold flowers and juice of the two lemons. Cover the pan and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove completely from the heat. Let the mixture stand covered with the lid until the liquid is tepid. Filter the concoction through a fine sieve into a bottle. Make sure you squeeze out any liquid in the herbs left in the sieve. Remember to be careful since the liquid may still be warm or even a tiny bit hot. Add the honey, alcohol and squeezed and strained lemon juice from the 2 lemons. Put a tight cap on the bottle and store for your next shampoo.



Apply the mixture directly to your hair and leave on for at least 30 minutes. Be sure to cover your head with a shower cap or the drippage can stain. If you'd like it to drip less, add some conditioner or deep conditioner to the mix for a thicker consistency.



Chamomile Tea Rinse

Chamomile is probably the most popular herbal hair colorant among blonds. A weekly rinse with this herb tea will also remedy the brown streaking that results from overexposure to the sun, and brighten ';dishwater blond'; hair.

陆 C chamomile flowers

1 quart boiling water

To prepare a chamomile rinse, steep half a cup of the flowers in a quart of boiling water for half an hour. Then strain the mixture, and let it cool while you shampoo. Now, pour the brew through your towel-dried hair at least 15 times (catching it in a basin each time, in order to use it again). Wring the excess moisture out and leave the solution in your hair for a half an hour before rinsing it out with clear water.

Don't do that. I tried it and it doen't work.

Try Sun-In. It's natural with lemon juice, it's in-expensive, and it works great! Just spray the parts you want color lightly.

It does dry out your hair though like lemon juice does. Just deep condition if you do use it.

Just get it at Walmart.
