How to Lighten Hair Naturally

One of the most effective and natural ways to lighten hair at home It is by using lemon, a well-known natural bleach that is used both in household cleaning and in beauty treatments. Lemon rinses will help you naturally lighten your hair and make it look brighter. To carry it out, we recommend that you follow these steps:

1. Squeeze 3 lemons and strain the juice well so that it does not contain seeds or pulp.
2. Later, dilute the lemon juice in 1/2 liter of water.
3. Once ready, moisten your hair with the liquid and leave it on for about 30 minutes. Ideally, let the hair dry in the sun so that the effect is faster.
4. Finally, wash your hair as you normally do and try to hydrate it very well with a moisturizing mask so it doesn’t dry out.

To take effect faster, apply this lemon rinse at least once a week. When you do this, be careful not to leave lemon on your skin, as it can stain in the sunlight. From the first month you will notice that the hair has begun to lighten.

As we already know, chamomile is a natural ingredient that is highly potent and effective in lightening hair. In addition, it is a safer method, since it protects the natural state of the hair. For this reason, you can find chamomile shampoos in supermarkets or cosmetic stores, but you can also apply the chamomile to lighten hair in a homemade way. To do so, follow these steps

1. Heat water in a saucepan and prepare a chamomile infusion. You can use chamomile in a tea envelope or chamomile flowers.
2. Wait for the infusion to cool down and moisten your hair with it.
3. Let it dry naturally and when the hair is dry, wash it with shampoo and a hydrating conditioner.
4. Use it once a week until you achieve the color you want.

As with lemon, the effect of chamomile will be accelerated if you let the hair dry with the sunlight. However, you should bear in mind that chamomile works best on light brown or blonde hair. In very dark or black hair, it can cause an orange coloring that is not to your liking.
