Lemon as hair lightener?

About 2 years ago i was obsessed with doing this to try get lighter hair naturally! I have medium-dark brown hair but I found it didn`t really lighten it much (just a little) but it dried my hair out a lot and wasn`t really worth all the trouble!

I had tried this wen I was younger, It worked just was a little lighter brown, turned a little more into a ash brown then a medium brown….. did on a good sunny day.

most of my family are hairdressers, yes it does work however, its not worth it you have to wait hours in the sun before it begins to lighten, it dries your out alot from the citrus and long sun exposure combined and the lightest it will go is orange,

I`ve heard it works too. haven`t tried it though

Does putting lemon on hair, and then exposing said hair to sunlight actually lighten the hair? I`ve heard of this before.Does anyone know if this works?

I have heard that about lemon being a natural lightener of hair…but iH ave heard that recently that it is a myth and wont work if you have darker hair

I have a friend who tried this and although her hair got lighter, it went really dry and frizzy. I wouldn`t recommend it.

ıve heard about this ages ago but always thought it would damage the hair. ı guess ill keep going to the hair salon 🙂

Does it work on black hair?

to avoid damaging the hair, I read somewhere that you should mixing the lemon juice with a leave in conditioner and apply it to towel dry hair, then let it dry in the sun. haven`t tried it yet, but since summer`s coming up some highlights would be nice!

it works but the results are very inconsistent.
my little brother tried this once, he has short hair, and it gave him highlights, because he spent all day in the sun.
my friend tried this too, but she has long dark brown hair, and it gave her orange streaks which looked lighter at the root than the tip. yuck!
stick to using lemons as food!
