A hint of the bright yellow or bronze of summer hair is something many of us want to keep all year long. If the thought of having to dye your hair with chemicals to keep this color annoying, try the natural method. There are many methods to help lighten your hair and give it a golden or red glow.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Lighten any Color

1. 

   Go out. There's a reason people's hair turns blond and vibrant in the summer; Sun! The sun has the ability to naturally bleach hair while making the skin tanned. Wait for a sunny day and let the sun's hair do its magic. During the process, remember to apply sunscreen to avoid sunburn.

2. 

   
   
   Swim. Because spending time in the sun and swimming outdoors often go together, it can be difficult to distinguish bleached hair from different processes. However, the sun is not the only process; Salt and chlorine from the ocean and swimming pools have the ability to lighten your hair color (naturally your old hair color).Go scuba diving in a bay near your home, and your hair will become brighter for a short time.
   • If your hair is dyed, the chlorine in the pool water can cause your hair color to fade.

3. 

   
   
   Wash with vinegar. A recent trend that 'no-poo' or 'no-poo' washing without shampoo has helped people discover vinegar has the ability to lighten hair. When taking a shower, rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar. Doing this regularly will help gradually lighten your hair over time.

4. 

   
   
   Use baking soda. Like vinegar, baking soda is an ‘no-poo’ alternative to a chemical that also brightens your hair. When you take a shower, sprinkle baking soda over your hair and massage your hands well. The mixture evenly stuck in your hair will naturally bleach your hair.

5. 

   Apply a honey mask to your hair. Want honey colored hair? Use real materials to make the mask. Mix the honey with a little bit of distilled water and apply it to your hair. Let it soak in your hair for 30 minutes or more. When mixed with distilled honey water, a chemical reaction will occur, making your hair extremely bright. To double the effect, go out in the sun while you're wearing a hair mask.
   • Rinse your hair with shampoo after doing this so that no more honey stays in your hair.

6. 

   Take vitamin C. Not only is it essential for everyday health, vitamin C can also make your hair lighter. Buy a bottle of vitamin C in pills, but use it for your hair, not take it. Crush 5-10 tablets (depending on the length and thickness of your hair) and add the powder to your shampoo. Shampooing with this blend is a nourishing dose of bleach to your hair.

7. 

   Try hydrogen peroxide. Although not the most natural way to dye your hair, hydrogen peroxide is a way to lighten hair at home without using a lot of products. Rinse hair with hydrogen peroxide, let stand for about 10-15 minutes before washing a second time with water. Try this on a haircut first to make sure you are satisfied with the color it brings.
   • Hydrogen peroxide can dry out hair. To avoid damage, apply an intensive hair mask after following this method.

8. 

   Make some black tea. Beneficial in many beauty treatments, black tea has a lot of tannic acid that helps highlight your hair over time. Make a few cups of concentrated black tea (for several teaspoons / tea bags) and pour it over your hair. Let it soak for 30 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Create Yellow Highlight

1. 

   Spray on hair with lemon juice. Used by many women for hundreds of years with a desire for glowing hair color, lemon juice is one of the oldest and most effective natural lightening methods. Pour lemon juice into a spray bottle and cover all of your hair. Let it dry for 20 minutes before rinsing it off again.
   • Lemon juice can dry out your hair if used regularly, so mix it with a little oil to soften it.

2. 

   Make a cup of coffee. If you have brown hair, make an extra-dark coffee pot. Let it cool completely, refrigerate if necessary. Pour cold coffee into a spray bottle, and spray all over your hair. Sitting in the sun for about half an hour. This won't brighten the entire hair color, but it will lighten your natural highlights.

3. 

   Make camomile tea. The natural light color of camomile and the natural chemical composition of the flower combine to create a pale yellow color in the hair. Soak five packs of chamomile tea in boiled water. When the tea is completely cool, spray it on your hair, brush it well, and sit in the sun for about 30 minutes to create a natural highlight.

4. 

   Use dry marigold. Like chamomile, marigolds can give you the golden highlight you've always wanted. Put 1 cup of water, 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, and some dried marigold flowers in a kettle and boil. Strain the flowers and let the water cool completely. Put in a spray bottle, spray on dry hair, massage it into the scalp, and let hair dry naturally.

5. 

   Use rhubarb. Boil some rhubarb root, let the solution cool completely, and test on inconspicuous hair before applying it all over. Rhubarb adds a golden hue, so if your hair is already extremely bright, it may become darker. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Create Red Highlight

1. 

   Make a berry tea. The reason there are three different teas on this list - they work! If you want to reveal red highlights in your hair, use natural red tea and let it permeate your hair. Look for berry tea or red fruit when brewed, like raspberry, blackberry, or pomegranate. Soak several tea bags in several cups of water and pour it over your hair. Let it soak in your hair for at least 30 minutes before rinsing it off.

2. 

   Try beetroot juice. If you've ever cooked beets, you'll know the effect on the sticky ability of the beetroot juice. Create a natural red color in the hair by letting the beetroot juice do its magic. Mix with a little distilled water to dilute it, and coat the mixture over your hair. Let it soak for 15-20 minutes, and rinse with warm water.

3. 

   Make a cinnamon mask. Mixing up a little hot cinnamon tea using cinnamon is a great way to reveal the pale caramel color in your hair. Mix a few cinnamon sticks or 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon with a few cups of water (more or less depending on the length and thickness of your hair). Cover your hair and let it soak for a while before rinsing it off.

4. 

   Dye your hair with henna. This trick is almost "cheating", since henna is used mostly as a hair and skin dye. Mix the henna plant with water (or tea, for a brightening boost!) To make a paste, and cover your hair. Put a shower cap on your hair and leave the henna in your hair - the longer you wait, the redder your hair will be. Rinse with water as usual, and you'll be amazed by your sweet ginger hair! advertisement

Advice

• If you are unsure of the hair color that will show up when your natural hair color is lightened, start by trying on a small section of hair (rather than all at once). If you don't like the hair color produced, it shouldn't be a big deal since you only do a small part.
