How to Lighten Hair Color in the Sun

Many people desire to have hair that looks like it has been kissed by the sun. Hair color can be naturally lightened by spending hours and hours out in the sun. There is a way to speed up this process to lighten your hair color. You can get a sun kissed look with only minimal time in the sun. Lightening your hair in the sun is as quick and simple as going out and enjoying a sunny day.

Things You'll Need

• 1 small spray bottle
• 1 bottle lemon juice
• 1 sunny day

Instructions

Let the Sun Shine in

1. Fill the spray bottle up half way with lemon juice. You can find small spray bottles designed to be use for the hair in the hair care section of your local drug store.

2. Pour water into the spray bottle to fill it the rest of the way up. Place the sprayer onto the bottle. Make sure that it is tightly sealed. Shake the spray bottle well to mix the lemon juice and the water.

3. Spray your hair with the lemon juice mixture. Make sure that you saturate your hair with this mixture so that it covers all of your hair color. The lemon juice will help to lighten your hair color in the sun.

4. Spend the day out in the sun as much as you can. You do not need to be outside all day, but the more you are in the sun the faster your hair color will lighten.

5. Reapply the lemon juice mixture to your hair every 3 to 4 hours through out the day. Repeat this process everyday until your hair color has lightened to the desired color.

Tips & Warnings

• For highlights, spray only small strips of your hair with the lemon juice mixture.

• You may need to redo this process every few months to keep your hair color lightened.

• With all this time out in the sun, make sure you put on sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun. You do not want a sunburn to go with your lighter hair color.
