Will lemon juice lighten brown hair?

Can you lighten really red hair with lemon juice What will happen if you use lemon juice on red hair?

I am a natural redhead that at birth had bright copper hair. In my teens & early adults it was still a dark red and I used lemon juice all the time. I don't think it lightened it up as much as it brought out the natural highlights. Lemon is acid and it probably cut the oil left on the hair after shampooing. Althoght I do know a boy who has really red hair and when he rinses with lemons he becomes very blonde.


Can cranberry juice make your hair red?

No of course not don't be silly you can either dye it or have it natually in genes. EDIT: If applied to the hair, cranberry juice can lighten dark hair to a red shade, much like lemon juice will give light hair a blond touch. The trick is to let your hair get a lot of natural sunlight with it on and condition it afterwards.

Will lemon juice lighten your hair?

First of all, yes lemon juice will work to lighten your hair. But, be aware that lemon juice will only work to highlight your natural hair color. What this means is, if you have dark hair, say dark brown, and you use lemon juice to lighten your hair, you will get a lighter brown highlight, not blonde. If you have black hair, you will most likely get a red-tinted highlight wherever you apply the lemon juice. That being said, lemon juice works best as a natural highlighter for blonde to dirty-blonde hair colors. Light brown hair usually returns good results when highlighted with lemon juice as well. Lemon juice lightens your hair by working with the sun or UV rays. It will not work with a blow dryer. While the sun will lighten hair to a point on its own, the process is slow. The acid in lemon juice hurries the process along. 1. Do not wash your hair before starting the highlighting process. It is best to use unwashed (dirty) hair. 2. Apply lemon juice (not lemon flavored sweetener for drinks--but actual lemon juice. If you can't find lemon juice, get real lemons and squeeze them for this process) to the places you want highlighted. You can apply to your whole head to lighten color uniformly or you can apply it to strands as if you were getting highlights done. 3. After applying lemon juice to desired places to be lightened, head out into the sun. It is important to wear sunscreen as you will be spending at least 30 minutes in the sun. After 30 minutes come in, and wash lemon juice from hair. Repeat this process until desired lightening is achieved. *Note: It is sometimes necessary to perform this process once or twice a day for a few days instead of trying to achieve maximum highlights in one day. 4. Make sure to use a very good conditioner during the lemon juice highlighting process, as the juice and sun are harsh and will dry hair out. Use conditioner every day after highlighting. A deep conditioner is also a good idea to do every couple of days during the highlighting process to keep from damaging hair. Be extra careful of thin or brittle hair. 5. The highlights you achieve are as permanent as the ones you would get at the beauty salon and will not go away unless colored or grown out. Using lemon juice is a good, natural alternative to getting chemical highlights. It does take a little patience, but the results can be very attractive with a little time. Again, this method works best for people with blonde to dirty-blonde hair and usually works well on light brown hair as well.

Does lemon juice damage your hair?

Yes, but why not go to the store and buy a product call sun-in. If you're blonde it lightens and if your brunette is goldens and reds. I've been using it for years and love it for a quick spike of color at the fraction of the cost of salon tinting and it grows out naturally.

How can you dye your hair with lemon juice?

Answer Lemon juice is a natural hair lightener. It will give a more dramatic result in combination with the sun's ultra-violet (UV) rays. Cut two lemons in half, and squeeze either directly on to clean hair or into a spray bottle, which you can then use to apply the juice to your hair. If necessary, depending on hair length, use more lemons. After applying the juice, use a wide-toothed comb to help dispense lemon juice thouroughly through hair. Then let the hair dry. You wont need to spend any time in the sun as the acid in the lemon helps bleach the hair naturally. The process will need to be repeated a few times without the sun but a lighter shade will definitely be noticeable. Spending a couple of hours in the sun will brighten your hair faster. Remember to wear sun-protection lotion on any exposed skin. Even though lemon is acidic it also contains natural oils so it wont dry hair out too much. Using a good conditioner when washing the lemon out will restore softness and shine. This works best in the summer months, when the sun's light is most direct and the outdoor temperature is pleasant enough to stand for a few hours. And that is how you do it!! Bye
