Tips For Blonde Hair

If you have blonde or light brown hair, lemon juice can be used to lighten it. Unfortunately, lemon juice can also dry out your hair, causing a dull look and brittle ends. To avoid damaging your hair, try diluting the lemon juice. Mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with a gallon of water. Rinse your hair with the solution. You can repeat the process daily. The mixture will gradually lighten your hair. When your hair reaches the desired color, you can use the lemon mixture less frequently.

Spending time in the sun will also lighten hair. If you go to the beach or pool, get your hair wet and then let it dry in the sun. Over an extended period of time, this will lighten your hair. If you plan to spend many hours in the sun this summer, this process may work best for you. However, if you are anxious to have lighter hair, try spraying your wet hair with a mixture of lemon juice and water. Let it dry in the sun.

Some herbs can be used to naturally lighten blonde hair as well. Chamomile flowers work well to brighten hair and evenly add color to it. To make a chamomile rinse, steep half a cup of the flowers in one quart of boiling water for half an hour. Strain the mixture and let it cool. Wash and towel-dry your hair. Then pour the chamomile mixture over your hair. Catch the solution in a container and pour it over your head once more. Repeat this 10-20 times, depending on how light you want your hair. After the last rinse, leave the solution in your hair for at least fifteen minutes. Then rinse it out completely.
