Going blonde is a great way to shake things up and surprise people with a sunny new look, but bleach can damage hair and leave it looking pale and punk-like.It is easy to make your hair blonde.You don't have to go to the salon.It is simple and easy to make at home.
Step 1: Lemon juice is good for you.
If you use fresh squeezed lemon juice in a bottle, it will work.The amount of lemon juice you need depends on a number of factors.If you want to lighten your hair, you will need at least 2 cups of lemon juice.If you want to lighten a couple of small sections or have shorter hair, you can use 1/2 cup of lemon juice.You can potentially use non-organic lemon juice, but this should be a last resort as you won't know what toxins and pesticides are in the juice.These trace amounts are not good for you.
Step 2: The lemon juice should be mixed with water.
In a spray bottle, mix two parts lemon juice with one part water.It's not an exact measurement, but rather a ratio, so how much a part is depends on how you want to make it.If you were to use 2 cups of lemon juice, you would use one cup of water.If you used 1 cup of lemon juice as a part, you would only use half the amount of water.
Step 3: You can spray the mix into your hair.
If you want to lighten your hair, spray the mixture on all of it.To spread the mixture evenly through your hair, use a wooden or plastic comb.It will burn if you put it in your eyes.
Step 4: You need to separate your hair.
If you only want to lighten certain parts of your hair, you can separate those sections and apply lemon juice to them.You can lighten the hair by dipping your fingers in the mixture.You can run the cotton ball down the shaft if you want to lighten the hair.If you have long hair, you could try dipping it into a bowl of the mixture and applying it to the roots using your fingers.If you only want to lighten parts of your hair, use a spray bottle; it will most likely cause the mixture to coat more than you want.
Step 5: The lemon juice in your hair can be activated with heat.
If you can spend some time in the sun, this method will work even better.If it is warm and sunny, then you should go outside for a few hours.The sun and heat will lighten your hair.Make sure to apply sunscreen to your face and other exposed areas.You can use a blow dryer if you don't have access to the sun.If you want to dry your hair, turn the dryer on the highest setting.
Step 6: Take it one step at a time.
It is possible to repeat this process as often as necessary to achieve the desired result, but be aware that the lemon juice is acidic, and will dry out your hair with frequent use.If you have dark hair, you may not see results the first time you do this.If you want to keep your hair healthy, consider using a deep conditioning hair treatment.
Step 7: If necessary, Tone down brassiness.
If you use the lemon juice method to lighten your hair, it may look more orange than blonde.If this happens, you can use tomato paste or tomato sauce.The tomato paste should only contain tomatoes and water.The tomato sauce should be spread evenly throughout your hair.Wrap your head in foil.Leave for 25 minutes.It is necessary to rinse thoroughly.Continue until all of the brassiness is gone.You can remove the tomato smell from your hair with a regular cleanser and conditioner.
Step 8: Place the ingredients in a bowl.
To make sure the ingredients are well-incorporated, use a whisk or fork.The method requires more ingredients, but may work better together than they would on their own.The best thing about raw honey is that it is the least processed, so it won't behave differently than expected.At your local health food store, you can usually find raw honey.2 cups of distilled vinegar is required.A cup of honey.A small amount of olive oil.A small amount of ground cinnamon or ground cardamom.The end result is the same, so just use whichever one you have on hand, or whichever you can keep for different uses.
Step 9: The mixture should be applied to the hair.
You should use this mixture on damp hair.You can use a comb or your hands to make sure that it covers your hair.You can either wet your hair in the sink or with a spray bottle filled with water, you don't need to shower.If you only want to apply it to a section or your hair, you can either separate it or dip it directly into the mixture.
Step 10: Put plastic wrap on.
Wrap the plastic wrap around your head in a way that is tight enough to stay in place, but not so tight that it will give you a headaches.You can use a headband or a plastic bag to hold in place.You can use the shower cap if you have one.A swim cap withSilicon might work well.
Step 11: Leave in the morning.
This mixture doesn't need sunlight, but it does need time to work.You should leave it on while you sleep.In the morning, rinse your hair thoroughly with whatever you use to wash it.
Step 12: Continue this process as you please.
It will take time to reach the desired color.If you want to make your hair lighter, mix it up again.It's important to keep your hair healthy with a good cleanser and conditioner.
Step 13: You can brew the tea.
The tea needs to be strong.You will be able to rinse your hair with the tea if you brew enough.The amount depends on the length of your hair.A large cupful is enough for short hair.You may need a pitcher of tea if you have long hair.Tea is cheap and easy to make, so you can always make more.Wait for the tea to cool before applying it to your hair.It can be warm, but make sure it doesn't burn your skin.
Step 14: You need to separate your hair.
If you only want to lighten certain parts of your hair, you should separate them from the rest.If you want to lighten your hair, you can put the tea in a spray bottle and spray it directly on the section.You can apply the sections directly to the roots by dipping them in the tea.
Step 15: You can wash your hair with tea.
If you get undressed and stand in the shower, this will be the least messy.Slowly pour the tea over your hair.
Step 16: Leave your hair out.
You can leave this on your hair for as long as you want.Some suggest leaving it on for 15 minutes, while others suggest letting it stay in.You can try both ways to get better results.
Step 17: Take a break in the sun.
Let the sun dry your hair after you apply the tea to it.The lightening process will be sped up by this.You could make the tea, put it in a spray bottle, and use it on your hair before you go out in the sun.Don't forget to use sun screen on the exposed areas of your skin.
Step 18: You should repeat the process.
It will take a long time for you to see the results.The tea method won't damage your hair as badly as lemon juice might.If you have dark hair, be patient.It is unlikely that your hair will ever be blonde without using bleach or other chemical treatments.
