What can i do to lighten my hair?

Question

I have dark blone hair with a lot of really light highlights. i used to have really really light blonde hair. I would never dye my hair, so thats not an option. i would like my hair overall to get get lighter instead of just streaks, is this possible? i have tried lemons, it hasn't really worked. Do u have any suggestions? also i'm going to the beach this weekend...

Answer 1

try sun-in, it's basically peroxide in a spray bottle. It works great if you're going to go out in the sun.

Answer 2

definitely use sun-in.

the only problem is that sun-in is permanent, and if you use it too many times you can get roots. if your hair is naturally dark blonde with natural light highlights, it should make your hair a few shades lighter. 2 or 3 times should make it noticable.

to keep up the natural highlights, use john frieda sheer blonde shampoo/conditioner- i found that to be the best. or you can try pantene blonde products if you prefer pantene.

Try the sun in spray, but not a lot cause it can turn your hair orange. But My hair is the same way and if I swim in a pool and stay in the sun my hair turns lighter! :) And you could always use the blond shampoo I forget the name of it! hope that helps :)

Answer 12

olive oil and lemon juice it works fast and doesn't damage your hair

Just mix it together and put it on then go out in the sun for as long as you like

or

mix half conditioner half lemon juice (from an actual lemon) and brush it all over and through unwashed hair and sit in the sun for 20 min. Then wash hair as usual. it works great

Answer 13

use peroxide but that's bleaching it also :P

Answer 14

Sun-In spray works well, but you've gotta sit in the sun for a while.

A chamomile tea rinse will help bring out your highlights, and it also makes your hair smell nice.

For the lemon thing, you need to squeeze lemon juice into a spray bottle and spray lots of it on your hair. Sitting in the sun or blow-drying afterward is a must. Keep in mind, it'll take a few days/weeks for it to be noticeable.

Answer 15

mostly the sun is the only thing that can help.

when i was younger i used to have really dark black hair. i used to live in ny, so winter times the sun never really showed.

when i moved to florida, i was always in the sun. and now my hair is a dark brown, with red in them and i've never dyed it.

Answer 16

Just going to the beach and being in the sun.  Best way is to dye it

Answer 17

yes there is a bottle of spray called Sunin, you spray it on wet or dry hair and expose it to direct sunlight, i was a bright blonde in a week but stay away from chlorine.  Salt water will actually speed the process up.  Lemons do work but it's the same directions, you need direct sunlight and heat.

Answer 18

okay the sun will help lighten it up and the more hilites you get the lighter it will be and also i was told to wash my hair in liquid tide..

Answer 19

use lemon

and leave it in the sun

when its hot

Answer 20

Well either you can go to a salon and get your hair died lighter. or during the summer you can put lemon juice in your hair and sit in the sun for a while. this really works (NO LIE!).

Answer 21

Yup there is gte more and more highlights so that your hair is lighter and then and then there this stuff you can buy that you put in your hair that makes the sun light-in your hair you can get it at walmart or any of them places

hope this helped

good luck

Answer 22

I recommend you try getting a highlighting in the salon, it comes out looking very pretty, and they can take the brassy tones out of your hair. Your hair sounds like mine was. After my first highlighting, which was only done subtley the first time, I was so happy with it! It did wonders to brighten my hair color, and I've continued highlighting every couple of months ever since. Gradually, I've had more and more highlightes each time, and now my hair is a perfectly natural looking shade without the false look that bleach gives. I love it and I think you will too. Trust me, even just one highlighting will make a total difference in the appearance of your hair. One tip: get the type of highlights where they pull strands of your hair through a vinyl cap, not the type where they use foil, it will probably come out a little too platinum with the foil and I don't think you'll like that, plus foil is more expensive.

Answer 23

I don't know that there is a way other than coloring it.  Spending time in the sun lightens it somewhat but probably not to the extent you are seeking.
