I've heard about this too, but it does not work.

Answer 2

It will work, but you need to use it *a lot*, repeatedly, over and over and over, to get noticeably light results. If you have dark hair to begin with, about the best you can hope for is an orange-ish color. Plus, it really fries your hair - the acid in the lemon juice breaks down the cuticle (the outer, protective layer of each individual hair strand) - and leaves your hair brittle and dull . If you want lighter hair, I think ultimately bleaching is better (by a beautician, not using the Chlorox from the laundry!) because even though it's much stronger, it's on there for a shorter period of time and doesn't do nearly the damage to your hair.

Answer 3

By the looks of your mini you must have brown hair, SOOOO...Only if you want orange hair. Sun- In is also another one to use if you want orange hair. You really need to go to your hair stylist and ask her/him what to do. They have stuff that is strong enough to use to give you highlights or tips.
