Hair Home Remedies
There are some great home remedies to lighten
hair - no need for bought hair dyes if you have dirty blonde
or mouse colored hair.
Sun
The best, purest and most natural way to get those real blonde
highlights is to be out in the sun. Lie face down with clothing
covering your skin and spread your hair out to drink in the
rays of sunlight. Or just get out in the sun more. Anyone with
blonde to mid brown hair will find that it is always lighter
in summer - provided you do not stay indoors all of the time.
Do not overdo it of course. You must be careful not to become
sunburned. Use a strong sun blocker on all exposed skin and
you may also consider using sun cream on your scalp.
Swimming
Swimming in either a pool or the sea and then letting your
hair dry in the sun is a great way to lighten it. It's great
exercise too!
However, some of us live in climates where there is very little
sun for many months of the year. What do we do then?
Hydrogen Peroxide
Mix small amounts of household ammonia and hydrogen peroxide
in equal quantities. Warning: it will smell bad! Test on a
small area of skin near the ear and wait 24 hours to see if
there is any allergic reaction. If not, mix a fresh batch and
apply to hair. Rinse off when developed. You may also want
to test on a strand of hair.
Never use household bleach or any other chlorine based product
on your hair. This can destroy your hair, cause terrible damage
to your skin and possibly kill you with the fumes.
Lemon Juice
Squeeze one fresh lemon. It should give you about 2 tablespoons
of juice. Mix this with 3 times the quantity of water and apply
to dry hair. Leave for several hours before rinsing out. Do
this every day and your highlights should become lighter in
a very natural looking way.
You may want to use more of the lemon juice/water mixture
if you have very long hair and less if you have short hair.
Tea
Ordinary tea can lighten brown hair - seems crazy given the
color that it is, but it's true! Make tea to a normal strength
that you would drink, let it cool and then rinse your hair
with it.
It is best to test a strand before using tea on your whole
head. If your hair is already a light shade, it may darken
it.
Some of these methods can leave your hair rather dry, so be
sure to use a good conditioner for blonde hair. Shampoos and
conditioners containing chamomile are great for fair hair.
Going out in the sun after using any of these home remedies
to lighten hair will increase their effectiveness. Click here to discover my current SolveYourProblem recommendation and choice pick for the fastest, easiest and best natural health remedies & solutions you'll find anywhere. Get it and reward yourself with a healthier life.
