So Please Help!!...Thanks!Dying/ Lightening hair with lemon juice?
I've tried it before. If you're hair color is black it will probably turn it dark brown. You should probably stay in the sun for 10 to 30 minutes the most.It is extremely safe.It works best if you don't use already made lemon juice because it has sugar so you should squeeze the juice out of a lemon.I hoped i helped.Dying/ Lightening hair with lemon juice?
Lemon Method

1.Get some good quality moisturizing shampoo and thoroughly wash your hair.

2.Condition your hair with a ';leave in'; moisturizing conditioner. The moisturizing shampoo and conditioner help off set the drying effect of the following steps, but are not absolutely necessary.

3.Put some lemon juice in your hair, being careful to either wipe it in with your fingertips or spritz with a spray bottle, to avoid wetting your scalp with the lemon juice.

4.Leave the lemon juice in your hair to dry for about half an hour, then go outdoors to get some bright sun on it. Stay out in the sun for 2-3 hours. The lemon juice makes your hair photosensitive (which causes the sun to lighten it).

5.Return to the indoors or shade, and leave the lemon juice in for another half hour. Do not exceed the half hour sun exposure on the first treatment with lemon juice, as the actual amount of lightening varies, depending on the color of your hair.

6.Wash your hair again, thoroughly rinsing out the any remaining lemon juice, then condition again as you usually would.

7.Dry your hair and style.

8.Adjust the sunlight exposure after the first treatment if the effects are not sufficient. The amount of time you are exposing your hair to direct sunlight with the lemon juice in it will determine how much highlight it will cause. If you are satisfied with the amount of highlighting you get from this regimen, repeat every two to three weeks to maintain it.







Chamomile Method

1.Try chamomile tea to highlight lighter shades of hair like blond or light brown hair. Brew a cup of very strong chamomile tea, spray on your hair, and spend some time in the sun.



i hope that helped a lil bit at least
