Whether you're looking to lighten your hair naturally or you've decided to go for the full-on blonde bombshell look, there are several natural ingredients that can do the trick. The best part? These ingredients won't harm your hair and they're easy to find in any kitchen cabinet.
6 Ways To Naturally Lighten Your Hair
Here are six ways you can use them to lighten your hair:
1) Lemon Juice
If you're looking to lighten your hair without any damage, try using lemon juice. Lemons are mild bleaches that can lighten your hair by up to two shades. A lot of people use lemon juice as a toner when their hair is already lightened with other chemicals, but others use it as their main method of achieving the desired results.
If you have dark brown hair and want blonde highlights, for example, try adding one tablespoon (15 ml) of lemon juice per cup (250 ml) of warm water into a spray bottle and spritzing it onto damp strands before washing or conditioning them. You'll see results after just one application!
2) Vinegar
Vinegar is a great natural lightener. It contains acetic acid and can be used to lift the color of your hair. But how should you use it? Vinegar may be less versatile than other natural dyes, but it's still effective in many ways and conditions.
First, you'll need distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar for this process.
Pour some into a cup and mix a few drops of lemon juice in with it until they are dissolved together completely—this will help keep your newly dyed strands shiny and clean looking as they grow out over time! Then apply directly onto roots before rinsing off thoroughly after 30 minutes (or less depending on how light/dark you want them).
3) Honey
Honey is a great natural hair lightener. Honey is a humectant, which means it draws moisture to your hair. Honey also acts as a conditioner and an anti-bacterial agent, making it ideal for use on your head.
If you have darker colored hair, you can mix honey with an equal amount of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to create a paste that will gently lighten your locks without damaging the integrity of the strands (just be sure to rinse thoroughly after application). If you have naturally blonde or light brown hair, try using just plain honey by itself—it'll help keep those strands moisturized while also helping reduce frizz!
4) Baking Soda
Once you've had a chance to get the feel of your hair, it's time to add some baking soda.
Baking soda can brighten your teeth and lighten your hair. If you want to give baking soda a try on your hair, mix one tablespoon of baking soda in 1/3 cup warm water until you get a paste that's not too thick or too runny. Use it to paint highlights on your hair, then wrap it in foil.
5) Sea Salt
Sea salt is a great way to lighten your hair naturally, but you don't want to use regular table salt. You'll need sea salt instead. Many health food stores sell it in bulk, so you can buy as much as you need.
You'll also want to make sure that you get some water or oil before applying the mixture to your hair. The best option is coconut oil, which is great for keeping hair healthy and moisturized—and we all know how important moisture is when it comes to lightening our locks! You could also just use plain water if coconut oil isn't available.
5) Chamomile
Chamomile is a natural lightener, and therefore it can be used on all hair types. It also works for all lengths and colors (including dark). Chamomile's natural lightening properties are caused by the chemicals it contains: coumarin and flavonoids. These chemicals remove the pigments that make your hair dark, so when you use chamomile, your hair will gradually become lighter over time.
The process is simple: brew some chamomile in hot water for about 10 minutes and apply to your scalp with a cotton ball or cloth. Let it sit for about 30 minutes before rinsing out with cool water (don't do this too often—the acidic nature of chamomile may dry out your skin).
These are just a few of the ways you can lighten your hair naturally. If you're looking for something more permanent, there are plenty of options out there that don't involve harsh chemicals or damaging treatments. Remember that it's always best to consult with a professional before making any major changes to your hair!
