If i spray my hair with freshly squeezed lemon juice, how long do i have to expose it to sun before it lightens a bit? (a shade or two)If I lighten my hair with lemon juice...?
It will lighten it slightly, but even 5 minutes will suck the life out of your hair. I bleach my hair using a highlight kit designed for dark brown hair, and get VERY blonde hair with way less damage than lemon juice.
I used lemon juice once a few years ago, sat in the sun for about 15 minutes, and it dried the heck out of my hair. It felt like straw.
Just wanted you to know before you do it :-)If I lighten my hair with lemon juice...?
O honey, lemon juice is a NO NO!!! I wouldnt reccomend using that. But I suppose your gonna do it anyways so about 1-2 hours for a full shade.
an hour
it really works
after you soak your hair then brush it to give it the look of natural highlights
i would suggest
doing just streaks
so the difference can be more noticeable
it takes 1 or 2 hours
once your hair is dry then it gets kinda hard like hairspray !!!
ps don't lighten your hair too much cause it made my hair get really puffy and dry after i washed and dryed it
Don't do it. Box dye your hair. Lemon Juice does not work well. It lightens hair, but trust me. It does gross stuff to your hair. Ask your mom to take you to Target and get a box of dye. MUCH easier.
Well, it doesn't work all the time...
But I hear two or more hours...

Lightening my hair with lemon juice? Is this completely accurate? how exactly should I come about doing it?
what does dilute mean? And I don't use any other products in my hair besides shampoo and conditioner.
If you still decide you want to use lemon juice in your hair, don鈥檛 use it straight without diluting it. Dilute one tablespoon of lemon juice in a gallon of water and use it daily as a rinse. Use it this way when you know you will get sun exposure and it will lighten your hair, but be aware of how it is affecting your hairs condition.Lightening my hair with lemon juice? Is this completely accurate? how exactly should I come about doing it?
Dilute means to put another substance in so your base isn't as strong. For example, you dilute the lemon juice with water.
I did this all the time when I was little. I'd mix lemon juice with water, put it in my hair, stay in the sun for half an hour, and ta-da! blonde highlights lol. =)

Doesn anyone lighten their hair with lemon juice?
I need to know how long to leave it on for before rinsing and how often can I do it should I do it on wet or dry hair thanks for the feedbackDoesn anyone lighten their hair with lemon juice?
Well usually when i lighten my hair, i use a combination of honey and milk. I mix these two in a bowl and then apply to my hair. Let it sit and dry for approximately 45 minutes. After this wash it out with a bit of warm water.Doesn anyone lighten their hair with lemon juice?
Lemon juice is very drying. Have you ever tried using a little Sun In spray?
It works great for(natural) blond hair or light brown.
A long hair expert said NOT to use Lemon juice on hair.
Sun in works great, and the little amount I use does NOT damage my hair. I have used it for 25 years and I have hair to my knees. e mail me if you have further questions: JJJLonghairphotopage@ zoomshare.com

Does lightening your hair with lemon juice really work?
i have brown hair,it looks black at first but up close its dark brown. i want to try soaking a piece of my hair in lemon juice then laying in the sun .. and just lighten that piece of my hair in the back.. im not sure how light the piece will get.. and if it'll work. can someone tell me if this works? and how good it'll work?Does lightening your hair with lemon juice really work?
you have to be in the sun for a few hours, and totally SOAK ur hair in lemon juice, but yah it works... i did it last summer. %26amp; i have drk hair 2!Does lightening your hair with lemon juice really work?
it works...good..
yes. You need to go in the sun though for a whole day or ore. And it has to be strong sunlight.
I've done it before.. but mine goes ginger - which was a bit of a shock!
ive done it before but i have like a honey blonde. it worked good for me if you stay in the sun for about 2 hours. but if you have brown hair it wont really make a difference. like its not gonna turn it blonde. it just gives you natural lighter highlights. but not that much lighter.
lol same dude my hair looks black but its actually dark brown. i tried it once didnt work. it stings. and it makes your hair feel funny.
That would fry your hair.
You should only spray it lightly on your hair and then sit out in the sun.
Yes it will fade it but it'll have a orangery tinge to it.
Lemon juice will minimally lighten your hair, but only if you go out in the sun. Lemons will lighten fine hair best. If your hair is a light brown shade or darker, lemons can turn your hair orange. Instead of lemons, it is best to use over-the-counter hair color. Hair color contains toners and conditioners that will consistently keep your color in check and hair in great condition.
You can try Loreal hair colors that are formulated for dark hair. It'll lighten it up.
yes it works, and good! i used it this summer, and was surprised with the results! if you dont want to use lemons, u can use ';Sun-in';. u use it just as u would lemon juice! trust me!face nail siding

Help with lemon juice hair lightening/bleaching?
I was wondering if this really happened to work. I want to lighten my brown hair with some simple at home highlighting since I am only 12 and cannot get my hair dyed.
I heard that sitting out in the sun and applying lemon juice will help. Does it work? Or would I be better off using hydrogen peroxide? How badly will this damage my hair? If I condition afterward will I be better off?
Thanks!Help with lemon juice hair lightening/bleaching?
I did loads of research on this last year.
Hydrogen Peroxide is a very strong chemical that can permanently damage your hair and may cause it to fall out. Try and avoid using this!
Lemon juice is a great alternative! You can buy it in the bottle or freshly squeeze! I found mixing it with a couple of cups of brewed chemomile tea helped with the lightening of my hair alot!! I made this mixture (beware: it doesn't smell all too good) and before shampooing and conditioning my hair i poured it through my hair and then rinsing it and shampooing. Use a good conditioner after-wards and leave it in for a little while to help absorb all the goodness.
Using this treatment takes time, so be patient. I did this everyday for a few weeks and noticed great results! It does not have the same results as dying but still works very good. If your hair is dark this process may take a little while before you notice any huge results.
Also, this process may dry out your hair, so be sure to use a good treatment at-least once a week. Although some hair treaments/masks are not to cheap they work good. Or you could make your own. Banana hair masks are a great, in-expensive way to treat your hair! I like this one:

Hope this helped.Help with lemon juice hair lightening/bleaching?
Lemon and the sun really does work, just remember to not put the lemon juice on your scalp!
Also, don't use hydrogen peroxide, it'll damage your hair really bad.
Just stick to the lemon and sun :)
Goodluck!
Please do not put hydrogen peroxide on your hair! It will most likely turn our orange.
Lemon juice can lighten your hair but not a lot. This isn't going to damage your hair at all.

How to use lemon juice do lighten your hair?
How many times to use it? what else to put with it? how much do you use to make it noticabley lighter?How to use lemon juice do lighten your hair?
I actually suggest peroxide, lemon juice, and a bit of salt. Do equal parts peroxide and lemon juice, then go outside in the sun.
It works pretty well.
My hair went from a dark brown (it wasn't quite as dark as this picture)--
http://i37.tinypic.com/20ggpyd.jpg
to a really light brown like this---
http://i34.tinypic.com/18p28h.jpg (Sorry I look like an idiot in those pictures haha)
I don't remember how many times I did it though. Just do it until you like the shade you're at.
Also, I have very healthy hair, so if you have brittle or weak hair I don't suggest doing this.How to use lemon juice do lighten your hair?
squirt it into the hair and go out in the sun it; dosent work vry well
You put it in your hair and sit in the sun, but Believe me, I've tried, and I'm sure that highlights are the easier option
haha :P

Anybody know how to lighten their hair with lemon juice?
The exact process, step by step...I've heard you can give yourself semi-highlights with lemon juice.Anybody know how to lighten their hair with lemon juice?
do not squeeze it out, cut the lemon into quarters. then carefully draw lines on your hair with the ends of the slices if you want highlights. if you want fully blond hair you should squeeze the juice out and dunk your hair in the lemon juice then let it dry before you brush it or anything else. when the juice is on your hair, go outside and let it absorb the sun's rays for a few hours. do not wash your hair for the next few days. your hair should be lighter.Anybody know how to lighten their hair with lemon juice?
Are you serious? that really works?
yes
OK, I've never done this but my husband has. He says that you just put lemon juice on your clean hair when you're going to be in the sun. But like I said....I've never tried it myself.
Put lots and lots of straight lemon juice in your hair, proceed to shower after ten minutes. Then run a straightening iron through your hair at the highest setting while it is still wet. Following this, douse your hair with a mixture of clorox bleach and hydrogen peroxide, cover it in masking tape and leave it like that for three days. On the third day, wash your hair with a full jar of Helman's Mayonnaise (only Helman's will do) and follow up with a final douse of one gallon of pure lemon juice. (Actually I'm kidding. Just make sure you mix the lemon juice with something else [something of which I am not sure]. Whatever you do, don't use it straight it could ruin your hair.)

^heres a good site
Also,';Beach Blonde: lemon lights hair gel'; by John Frieda is great to use in the summer or while your in the sun for a few hours
that wil not work to get the effect you want
lemon juice will 'brighten'; your hair is a joke
you need to get a coloring
If you are in a sunny climate, For sure it works, and is natural looking too! Better yet , mix lemon juice and baby oil, equal parts, and go to the beach for 2 hours! You will be amazed! Shampoo 2-3 times after and you will be good to GO! Good luck!
That only works in the summer.
Basically all you do is spritz it on or take some in your hands and run it through. It doesn't lighten all your hair so you you can achieve natural looking highlights. Sticking it in your hair wont do anything really unless the acid in the juice and the UV rays/heat from the sun mix and create that reaction.
my advice. wait for summer i guess
%26amp; dont do what someone above said by useing straightenting iron at highest setting. You will just fry your hair.
