 and i know there's this spray-in stuff called Sun In or something which is supposed to make your hair lighter and i was wondering if that works if anyone has used it before so yea..

hydrogen peroxide, thats rubbing alchohol, but it could possibly dry out your hair.

well lemons kinda bad b/c my mom accidentally smeared lemon on her, then we walked outside for a few hours, and when we came back she had some serious burns O_o
aren't there a few brands that have a spray that lightens your hair? like john frida or something? |

About a month ago, I was talking to my hairdresser about ways to lighten my hair without any chemicals or a trip back to the salon, and I asked if I should use lemon juice. She said thats the worst thing to do, because the acids in lemon juice cause significant drying to your hair.
I guess if you have super hydrated hair that wouldn't suffer much from the extreme loss of moisture, try it.

It works. It's called A Touch of Sun right? Thats what I first used. Then I stopped being lazy and bought the dye and did it myself. But it gets messy for me. |

lemon juice works but it's soooo bad for your hair. it damages the hair and dries it up like crazy. sun in totally works. my friend used it and you can totally see the difference (because her roots grew back out). it went from like... a dark brown -nearly black- color to a reddish/brownish color. |

hey all
I am a 17 year old boy with dark brown hair and i would like tips on how to get my hair lighter. I woke up this morning with my hair all parted to the left and i looked like a emo so i want to make my hair lighter. How long should i spend in the sun? Is there a limit before it will damage my hair. (My dad has bad hair genes so i don't want to do anything that might cause me to go bald!) Oh and is there any shampoos or conditioners i might be able to use? Thanks for the help. |

I heard that vinegar works the same way as lemon juice.
Honestly, I don't see what the big deal with bleach is. I've used it hundreds of times. You just have to use it carefully and not abuse it (don't go over 30 mins per treatment, wait a day between treatments, and don't bleach more than 3x) AND take care of your hair (use good, strong conditioners, use hair strengthening therapies and heat protection therapy). |
