 I've been going grey since I was 18 and over the years it's slowly been getting more and more noticeable. To help with this I wanted to try and lighten my hair naturally without bleach or chemical dyes to help make the grey hairs seem less noticeable among my dark brown hair. I've tried using an apple cider vinegar spray in the past to give my hair natural highlights but this time around I wanted to try something a little different. I've read about the lightening effects of lemon juice on hair in many articles and blog posts and as I had a whole heap of lemons lying around the house, I thought I'd go with that. I started off using a 50-50 mix of freshly squeezed lemon juice and water which I then sprayed all over my hair until it was saturated in the solution. I then combed it through to ensure no strand was left uncovered and to help create a more even coating on my hair so I didn't end up with patches. Then I went and sat outside in the sun for 15 to 20 minutes. I picked my times of day aiming for midday to 1 o'clock when the sun was at its strongest so the lightening effect would be more intense. After sitting out in the sun I left the spray on my hair for another hour or two after that then washed my hair with a natural shampoo. I did this three times a week for about one month but then the weather started to change and it became really rainy after that where there would be only a few sunny or overcast days in between days of rain. I found that without the sunlight the lemon juice didn't have as much effect on my hair so I decided to crank it up a bit and use something a little stronger. After a month of using lemon juice and water to lighten my hair with little result I turned to hydrogen peroxide. Now for warning, hydrogen peroxide is a manufactured chemical however it does occur naturally in nature but in very small amounts. It is formed when oxygen in the atmosphere reacts with water to form hydrogen peroxide. While hydrogen peroxide is weaker than bleach it does have a similar effect on hair though to a much more milder extent. It can damage the cuticle which may lead to breakage, split ends and frizz if not used carefully though. To counteract this effect, I applied a coconut oil hair mask to my hair two to three times a week to help hydrate and prevent breakage and split ends while I was lightening my hair with the spray. Okay so this is the result after about three months of on and off dyeing my hair with lemon juice. At the beginning when I was still at the end of summer I was still like going out in the sun every day but it's just been raining constantly for the past few months like it on and off just probably having one or two sunny days here in there like today is the first sunny day we've had in about two weeks. So I haven't been able to go out in the sunlight and use the lemon juice to really lighten it but it's I don't even know if it's done too much can't really tell especially because I'm not out in the sunlight it works better when you have the sun heating your hair you can sort of see the highlights a lot better but this is what it looks like so far after about two to three months of just doing on and off so I thought I'd just crank it up a notch and I'm going to use lemon juice, water and a little bit of 3% hydrogen peroxide and just put a little bit of that in my spray bottle and then I'm going to spray this directly onto my hair and just saturate it so it's covered and then I'm just going to comb through the Peroxide solution to make sure it evenly coats and then I'm going to go sit outside for 45 minutes in the sun While it's out before the clouds come over and the rain comes back I'm going to do that as much as I can again trying to do it every day and Hopefully over the next few months it will be much more noticeable the lightening effect Because so far it hasn't been as noticeable with the lemon juice and again I think it's because I haven't been able to really do it every day constantly Though it might be able to show you a little bit I can't tell in this lighting. It would be better if I could do it every day So we'll try that and I'll let you know how it goes I mixed a little of the 3% hydrogen peroxide into my lemon juice and water solution and Spritz that all over my hair to saturate it Then I combed the mix through my hair to evenly coat it and set outside for 15 to 20 minutes in the sun at midday As hydrogen peroxide is stronger than lemon juice It isn't essential to sit outside in the sunlight as the lightening effect will still occur regardless I Did this every few days for about three months and this was the result If you choose to try this hairspray solution Please ensure you test a small amount of this spray on yourself before spraying it all over Just to make sure that no adverse reactions occur and that you're happy with the resulting color This lightning process works best when done over several days It won't be effective if done only once the key is consistency I Started this hair lightning process towards the start of last year But didn't commit to it for more than a week as life got a little busy for me and other commitments came in front So I let it go for a while until a few months ago When I started it up again, and this was when I noticed great results with it And that is how I lightened my hair naturally without chemical bleach.
