How do you highlight hair with lemon juice?

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

How does lemon juice affect the browning of apples?

This is called a naturally occurring enzyme....polyphenol oxidase.....The oxygen in air reacts with apples or potatoes and cause naturally occurring enzyme called polyphenol oxidase and causes apples or potatoes or banana shake kind of brown ....

So by adding lemon juice, orange , juice vinegar or anything acidic will cause the naturally causing enzyme to denature....Remember we said enzymes are protein and proteins can be denatured by changing temperature , pH and ionic concentration. So here lemon juice is acidic so you are changing pH of enzyme or acidity of enzyme which means you are denaturing enzyme it means you are deactivating enzymes.

So the apple won't be brown because you killed the enzyme causing brownness.

you can freeze apples potatoes or vegetables to stop browning but you will also kill the vitamins in them....Instead buy them when you need them or peel potatoes when you are ready to cook them or at least keep them in cold water to avoid browning.

What will lemon juice do to light brown hair?

It depends on how much lemon juice you use and how dark brown your hair is. If you put it into a squirt bottle and just spray your hair (then blow dry it or go out into the sun) you'll end up getting blonde streaks or just lightening your own original color. I've done this and it works pretty well. If you soak your hair in it then it your hair will be a lot lighter (than if you used a spray bottle). Unfortunately there isn't a set color when it comes to lemon juice and it often takes a few days to a few weeks to finally figure out what the final color is. If you're trying to have a specific color then you're better off with buying a thing of hair dye. Also forewarning, lemon juice makes your hair very dry and brittle. Hope this helps! :-)
