Does putting lemon in your hair make it lighter?

I read from another article that says putting lemon in your hair will make it lighter or a different color? Is that true? Can it harm you? (like cause hair lose and stuff)

Does putting lemon in your hair make it lighter?

Yes it is true, but generally only if you then have contact with the sun. The sun reacts with the properties with the lemon. Be careful because you might bleach your hair more than you want to, its not as much as an exact or easily predicted result as you can expect at the hairdressers or from a bottle. I suggest squeezing out a few lemons and then putting the juice in a cleaned out spray bottle with some water inside to dilute it a little bit. Spray on damp hair and comb through, avoiding contact with your eyes. Then take a walk in the sun or sit outside in the sun. But maybe you want to test the solution out on a small easily hidden piece of hair first. Just incase you dont like the result.

If you do this only occasionally and keep up with the normal shampooing and conditioning routine it wont harm you or cause hair loss. It should be better for your hair than putting peroxide in your hair I'm assuming.

Good luck. :)

Yes, it will make it lighter, but it'll also damage your hair. It's very acidic, and will make your hair look unhealthy if you use it too much. If you really want to do it, you can mix some lemon juice with water, and put it in a spray bottle, but your hair will get dried out as it gets lighter. The results will be pretty similar to how your hair would look if you spend a lot of time in the sun.
