Learn to lighten your hair naturally and save the money you would normally spend visiting a beauty salon and dyeing your hair. If you can't lighten your hair naturally, you can buy a dye and try lightening your hair at home. Here are some tips on how to give your hair a beautiful, lighter shade.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Natural Brightening

The sun

1. 1 Be more in the sun. Sunlight brightens hair, especially in summer. This is why many argue that their hair color darkens in winter when there is less sunlight and people spend less time outside.
   • The more time you spend outdoors, in the sun, the lighter your hair will be.
   • If you are swimming outdoors, let your hair dry in the sun after using the pool.

Lemon juice

1. 1 Use lemon juice in moderation. Unfortunately, this method will only work if you have naturally blonde hair. If you are a brunette, then lemon juice will make your hair a reddish-reddish hue.
   • Apply lemon juice to your hair and soak in the sun for 30-60 minutes.
   • You can also mix the juice of 1 lemon, 1 lime and 1 orange and rinse your head with this mixture.
   • Lemon juice not only brightens the hair, but also dries it out. Dilute it with water and remember to wash your hair and apply balm to your hair before you go outside.
2. 2 You can also mix lemon juice with honey and beer. Beer not only has a beneficial effect on hair, but also lightens it. And since the lemon juice mixes with the beer, your hair won't dry out. All you need is to take the juice of half a lemon, 3 teaspoons of honey, mix them with light beer (golden brown), the amount of beer should be enough to apply to the hair. Sit in the sun for about 1 hour, then wash your hair and apply conditioner. Then go outside again and blow dry your hair in the sun. If you do this several times, your hair will lighten noticeably, but it will still look natural. WARNING: If you have red hair, be careful when using this mixture because your hair can turn redder, even orange. This method works on blond hair, especially if the hair was even lighter in childhood.

Hydrogen peroxide

1. 1 Use hydrogen peroxide in moderation. This method is not recommended for brunettes because the hair takes on a reddish, even coppery hue. If you have blonde hair and want to lighten it even more, then this method is for you!
   • Pour some hydrogen peroxide into a dark spray bottle. Apply hydrogen peroxide to the part of your hair that you want to lighten. Alternatively, take a cotton ball, soak it in hydrogen peroxide and run the cotton ball through your hair to lighten the strands. Most people leave the hydrogen peroxide on their hair for 40 minutes, but you can leave it on longer for a lighter result. After the allotted time, wash your hair with cold water and apply conditioner to your hair.

Colorless henna

1. 1 For golden blonde hair, use colorless henna, paint of vegetable origin.
   • You can buy ready-made colorless henna dye from a drugstore or store.
   • You can buy colorless henna powder and make your own paint. Mix colorless henna powder with chamomile tea to form a paste. You can also add different herbs for different results. Cinnamon will give your hair a red or golden brown hue. Chamomile leaves will enhance the brightening effect when used with colorless henna. Chopping cloves will help mask the smell. Whichever combination you choose, test the strand before applying the product to all hair.

Vinegar

1. 1 Saturate your hair with white vinegar.
2. 2 Let them dry in the sun for 30-60 minutes.
3. 3 Rinse off and apply conditioner. Use warm water.
4. 4 Repeat regularly.

Six Ingredient Blend

1. 1 Mix six ingredients. If you are lighter than a brunette and want to lighten your hair, use the following powerful blend.
   • Combine chamomile, rhubarb, calendula, lemon juice, fire-herb (velvet plant), and a little bit of hydrogen peroxide.
   • Mix with a little water, let it brew overnight.
   • Apply to hair, sit in the sun, ideal if you will be in the sun from 11:30 to 14:45. This method works for blondes too, but if you are a brunette and are tired of reading about natural remedies that are only suitable for blondes, try this remedy, don't be afraid to use rhubarb. After several tests, we have verified that this product does not make your hair red or straw yellow.

Horizontal coloring Dirty blonde

1. 1 For horizontal coloring Dirty blonde (this technology assumes darkening of the roots and a visually natural transition to the light ends) use this technique.
   • Take ½ cup lemon juice, mix in a bowl with half a glass of shampoo and half a glass of water. Sour cream also works as a thickener if you don't want to use shampoo.
   • Pour the mixture into a bottle with a spray attachment.
   • Spread the mixture evenly on your hair once a day before going outside for best results. You must apply the mixture to your hair to keep it damp but not wet.
   • Do this every day until the product runs out and you will soon notice that your hair is getting lighter and brighter. Works magically!

Method 2 of 2: Staining with chemical dyes

1. 1 Choose paint. Obviously, it is difficult enough to achieve the same result as in the picture, but you will have to build on this. Choose the shade you like, taking into account the fact that you will not dislike it if it turns out to be a couple of shades darker or lighter.
2. 2 Prepare your hair for coloring. There are some tips that can often be found on paint packaging. Here they are:
   • Don't wash your hair. Try not washing your hair for as long as possible before dyeing. Your hair produces natural oils that protect the follicles from damage. Try not to wash your hair for at least 3 days.
   • Lubricate your hairline with petroleum jelly to prevent discoloration. You don't want paint smudges on your forehead.
   • Place an old towel over your shoulders, preferably one that is not intended for guests.
   • Ask a friend or family member to help you. They will be able to apply the color to your hair more evenly.
3. 3 Follow the instructions on the package completely. Many people skip directions or try to cheat and keep the dye on their hair for only half the time to get a darker shade. It doesn't work!
   • The dye removes natural pigment from the hair. There are blue, red and yellow pigments in every hair, just in different concentrations. When dyeing hair, blue pigments go away first, then red and yellow pigments. If you wash off the dye before the appointed time, then most likely, the blue and red pigments will leave the hair, and the hair will remain. yellow... Follow the instructions on the package to prevent this from happening!
4. 4 Take care of your hair after dyeing. This is just as important a part as preparing for coloring. Your hair will shine if you follow these guidelines:
   • After dyeing, use conditioner to seal hair follicles and reduce fading.
   • Use a conditioner before you start swimming in the pool. This will protect the hair from chlorine.
   • Apply a hair mask weekly to preserve colored hair. This not only preserves the color, but also makes your hair brighter and more beautiful, and you do not have to tint it often.

Tips

• Use lemon juice and get out in the sun!
• Use lemons with care, as the acid they contain can ruin your hair.
• Think well before doing anything to your hair. You don't want to make a mistake!
• Don't leave the lightening procedure for the summer. There are many ways to lighten hair without the sun, and if you don't use them then you have a ton of work to do in the summer.
• Swim regularly in the summer for at least two hours. The whitening agent in the water will help you lighten your hair.
• If you are a natural blonde, try to get tanned and wear light colored contact lenses, and wear dark clothing to accentuate your hair even more.
• Try wearing colorful hair ties. They will make your hair a little brighter too!
• First, test the new color on the hair strand. You don't want to be wrong with your choice. But you will have to wear the chosen color for a while.

Warnings

• Protect your eyes and other sensitive areas of the body from lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide.
• Chemicals like lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide can not only lighten your hair, but also dry it out, make it brittle and damaged. Remember to use shampoo and conditioner after using these products.
