How to Use Crystal Light Lemonade Mix to Lighten Blonde Hair
Some shades of blonde may look dark or dirty, as if unwashed. For those, a little extra lightening can make them truly shine. But bleaching might take out too much color and be harsh on your hair. And while sunlight naturally lightens blonde hair, sometimes a little extra help from the citric acid in lemons can speed up the process. For this, you can use any source of lemon juice, a small bottle of lemon juice or a fresh lemon, for example. But what if you don't have either of those on hand, but you find sugar-free Crystal Light Lemonade mix in your cupboard? Never fear, the citric acid in Crystal Light can do the trick. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Combine the Crystal Light Lemonade mix with water, as directed on the package. Remember, it's the citric acid that helpsg with the bleaching and not the other ingredients found in lemonade mix. Put enough of the sugar-free lemonade into a spritzer bottle to fill the bottle.

Spritz your hair with the lemonade. Spritz on as much as you desire.

Go into the sunlight to let your hair dry. Remember that this lightening process requires the use of the sun's ultraviolet light to perform the bleaching action aided by the lemon aide mix. Drink a glass of Crystal Light with ice while you sit in the sun.

For the desired lightening effect, some shades of blonde may require multiple applications with exposure to sunlight. Just as with bleach, the effect on hair is semi-permanent once lightened, until the highlights grow out completely.
