I want to highlight my hair with lemon juice.. bad idea??

my hair is a fairly dark color brown and i would like it to be at least a couple shades lighter.. you know, try something new.I want to highlight my hair with lemon juice.. bad idea??
it's not going to be drastic. even just being out in the sun lightens your hair color. if you live by a beach, go there. if you don't, then just put in the lemon juice and sit outside.








edit: a thumbs down for what? i have natural ';dirty blonde'; hair, and from my own experience, your hair gets lighter when you are out in the sun consistently. lemon juice has acids and other compounds in it that change your hair and the sun light brings out the lightness. your best bet is going to the beach with the salt water.I want to highlight my hair with lemon juice.. bad idea??
it wouldn't be as dramatic as a couple shades at first it make take a few times out in the sun, i'm sure you know the lemon juice really just works if you go out in the sun, just make sure you're hair has a lot of moisture because the acid can damage it, so condition well after you do it. A better alternative would actually be a Sun-In product, they are simple hair sprays that let you do exactly what lemon juice does but with less chance of damage.
I used to do that all the time! Easiest and cheapest way to lighten your hair! Just streak (or drench, if you prefer) lemon juice all over your hair, then go out in the sun for an hour or two. Do this all summer and you will have blonde! Also, if you want red tints/shades in your hair, you can also use the same technique as above, but with black coffee :)
well no do not do it yourself to begin with. When my friend tried doing highlights her self her dark hair mixed with the highlighter and her hair went orange because her hair was to dark. You hairdresser knows how to make sure your hair goes blonde rather than copper orange.
Do NOT use lemon juice on your hair!!


If your hair is dark brown you won't see much of a difference anyway and citric acid will dry out your hair completely.


See a hairdresser or use a good DIY hair-dye product (no lemons!).
i would think that wouldnt be good, i mean like putting acidic acid from the lemon juice into hair dosnt sound the best for it :(





common sence.
If you have dark hair, It won't work...Even if you have light hair, It'll only lighten it a little, But it can also turn your hair orange
no good idea alot of people do that just dont get it in your eyes cuz that REALLY HURTS
you wont get drastic results really fast. but it does lighten up your hair. it works i normally use lemon juice in my hair
i dont think that it is...my sister uses it all the time...it works pretty good...
