Bleach hair naturally using Lemon Juice!

If you are looking to get a light, "been in the sun all summer" sort of look, lemon juice will do the trick. Contrary to popular belief, lemon juice isn't harmful to hair, as the pH is very close to the natural pH of your hair. So get out your bottle of lemon juice and enjoy some summer highlights

Ingredients:
  • 1 bag chamomile tea
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • Container to catch run off
  • Shampoo and conditioner

Instructions:
Boil a pot of water and then pour 1 cup of water over a chamomile tea bag. The chamomile helps to bleach your hair slightly while retaining a natural color and protecting your locks from damage. Additionally, chamomile smells great and leaves your hair silky soft.

Allow the chamomile tea to cool to a comfortable temperature. In the meantime, combine 2 tsp. of sea salt, 1 cup of water and 1 cup of lemon juice and stir until the salt dissolves. Mix the tea with the salt water and lemon juice.

  • Pour the mixture onto dry hair, catching the run off in a container and repeating until your hair is fully saturated. Squeeze any excess out of your hair and then sit out in the sun until your hair dries.

  • Check your hair in the mirror and repeat your lemon juice bleach treatment if desired. Once you reach a nice color, wash and condition your hair as usual.
