How can you lighten your hair colour without harsh chemicals?

are there any natural ways?How can you lighten your hair colour without harsh chemicals?
There are lots of natural options to lighten up your hair!





However, you have to be really careful because some of them don't work on brunettes.





There's a reason why sailors and surfers are blonde; it's because they spend so much time in the sun. If your hair is a dark shade of blonde or even a strawberry blonde, your hair will lighten up by simply spending lots of time in the sun.





However, you can speed up the sun's effects by using lemon juice. But don't use only lemon juice!!! This can damage your hair. Mix 1 part lemon juice with 3 parts water in a spray bottle and spritz your hair as you sit in the sun. It also helps to add a little bit of real conditioner into this mixture to keep your hair soft and condition while you lighten. The sun also helps hair absorb conditioner. Just add a small amount and shake.





Another option is chamomile, which is a herbal flower that is a common ingredient in tea. You can find chamomile tea at most grocery stores, choose Celestial Seasonings because they don't add other ingredients that could potentially ruin your color. You can either rinse your hair with the tea after every time you wash your hair (after conditioner) or you could also add it to the lemon juice mixture in place of the water. Chamomile is gentler than lemon juice.





If your hair is brown and darker, you could end up with some scary results. The way lemon juice lightens will turn your hair orange and not be the same as blonde highlights from the salon. This is because brunette hair needs more powerful chemicals to lift the pigment out of the strands. If you have dark brown hair, you should use chamomile to lighten up the brown. If you want blonde, you should use an at-home color kit or consult a stylist.How can you lighten your hair colour without harsh chemicals?
Get some lemon concentrate and put it on your hair before going into the sun. You'll have to shower when you come in from the sun, but the lemon won't hurt your hair. You'll have to do it multiple times, but it will lighten your hair.
The sun is a natural enhancer. Another way would be to buy shampoo for your color hair. The color shampoos really bring out your color.
put lemon juice in it and stand in the sun





warning though, i am brunette and i had bleach blonde streaks in my hair becasue i didnt do it properly :)





but it works!
Even Natural ways damage hair. If your hair is dark, 'Natural' ways won't work or will turn your hair orange. Some, barely work on Blondes.
