- WASH AND DRY HAIR. It's best to begin with clean hair before you begin this treatment. Wash hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any excess dirt and product build-up. Follow with a quarter-size amount of conditioner to hydrate the hair. Allow your hair to air-dry or use a hair dryer set on low. Be sure that the hair is completely dry before moving on to the next step.
- Step 2
PREP HAIR. Comb through dry hair and remove any knots or tangles. The hairs natural oil can interfere with the lemon juice that will be applied so to reduce the amount of natural oil, run a small amount of baby powder into the scalp and roots of the hair where oil is produced.
- Step 3
PAINT THE HAIR. Pour about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice or 100% bottled lemon juice into a small bowl. Use your ½ inch clean paint brush to begin painting ½ inch sections of hair from root to tip. Highlights can be applied in any amount you'd like. It may be easier to clip the top section of hair to the top of the head to get better excess to the bottom layers while painting on highlights.
- Step 4
GET SOME SUN. Directly after applying the lemon juice to the hair, it's time to go outdoors and sit or lay in direct sunlight. Make sure that the hair is facing the sun so that the highlights appear evenly throughout the hair. It's best to stay out in the sun for at least 1 to 2 hours. Results? Natural looking blonde highlights for a small fraction of the cost of traditional salon highlights.
