Natural highlighting and hair......?

I heard that putting lemon juice in your hair, then laying in the sun, then washing it will give you some natural looking blonde-ish highlights.

I have tried this with dry hair.

Does anyone know if this works better with wet hair, or what correct process there is?

is not lemon juice what works?

all awnsers are appreciated!!

thanks in advance!!! %26lt;33

lemon juice should work just use a little more and don't wash your hair till at least an hour in the sun and an hour after you are out of the sun i did it didn't work the first time also if it is a really hot day then take breakes so u don't kill yourself with the sun

get a tan while your at it

my mom did this as a kid

you put lemon juice in your hair and go in the sun for a few hours

it doesnt work the first day

do it for a week or so and you should see a difference

It works best with wet hair- just put it in a squirt bottle, squirt some in your hair, and lay out until your hair is dry. And, in the winter when you can't lay out, put lemon juice in your hair %26amp; blowdry it. It takes a while to notice results though.

Hope that helps. :]:]

Only try home beauty recipes if you have "virgin" hair- that means hair that has not been previously processed with chemicals, such as dye or perms. Once you have a chemical process done to your hair, stick with the professionals, and let them know what you have put on your hair, and also what meds you may be taking. That info will let them know the best products to put on your hair for the best results.

If you have virgin hair, and want to try lemon juice, or Sun-in, or henna, then know that anything you do like that does have an effect on your hair. A stylist can look at your hair and tell if you have been using lemon juice, or Sun-in.

If you just want to lighten blonde or light brown virgin hair, then lemon juice (I'd use fresh, because bottled has preservatives in it.) will work, but results will vary with the individual. If you have dark hair and want to go blonde, please go to a good salon. It might cost a bit of money, but it can save you many tears.

Alright. There are a LOT of rumors on this thread that should be cleared up.

1. Lemon Juice (or any kind of hair lightener) will NOT turn blonde hair red. Bleach of any kind may turn very dark hair a reddish color as opposed to a blonder color, depending on the undertones, however.

2.Lemon juice does NOT require sun. Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent, and thus works on it's OWN to bleach your hair. Sun will, however, help and may make a dramatic difference as to the visibility of the highlights.

3. Sun-in does NOT contain bleach. It contains other natural bleaching agents, however. It may dry your hair out, but I highly doubt that it was the cause of your 'extreme hair breakage' . Sun-in is a MUCH better alternative to lemon juice because it does not cause as much breakage as lemon juice.
