Fill a spray bottle with lemon juice and a bit of water. Spray your hair with the mixture and comb it through. Go out into the sun. The longer you are outside, the lighter your hair will get. For bolder, more visible highlights, try a commercial hair-lightening product formulated with lemon juice such as one from the John Freida Lemon Lights line.

Purchase a spray-in lightener such as Sun-In at a drugstore. These products typically contain hydrogen peroxide and are the best choice if you are looking for fast, dramatic results. Spray-in lighteners work with the heat of a hair dryer as well as under the sun.
