Naturally Lighten Hair

I’ve found your newest best friend for the summer if you don’t have time to tan and get the natural highlights. The best part? It’s 100% natural.

Here’s what you need: 

1 empty spray bottle or pump

Fill 1/4 of the container with lemon juice

Fill 2/4 of the container with honey

For the remaining 1/4, fill it with coconut oil and/or aloe. 

As you’re probably guessing, the main ingredients are the lemon and honey. The lemon contains a bit of an ingredient that naturally bleaches hair, especially when activated by sunlight. The same thing happens with the honey, except the honey also conditions your hair amazingly. 

Unfortunately, both of the ingredients can dry your hair out very quickly like a thick hair gel might, so the coconut oil and aloe are crucial to keeping your hair soft and cleansed throughout the process.

Once you’re done pouring the mixture through your hair, you can either go outside for 1-3 hours and let the magic happen before washing your hair normally or wear it throughout your day for 3-6 hours and wash it normally. 

I’ve only done it twice this summer before, but I tried this a few years back and it worked so well. No harmful chemicals, it is a slow process though. You will see permanent changes!  Until more hair grows, of course.
