VainTaraLynn answered Saturday August 13 2005, 12:32 am: My friends have done that, and it has lightened it quite a bit. It actually depends on the shade of your hair. Say you have really dark brown hair. Lemon juice would lighten it to a lighter brownish color. If you have dark blonde hair, it would become a lighter blonde. Another way that I can think of is something I do. In the summer time I tend to swim alot, causing clorine to always be in my hair. Once I get my hair all wet, I'll lay out in the sun, and over the years my hair has become all blonde, and its been that way since i can remember.

Erinn_the_bamf answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 4:00 pm: Yes, lemon juice does really work. Another thing you could do is spray Sun-in in it. You can get that at any supermarket or drug store. Lemon juice looks more natural though. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

__x30V3RC0M3 answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 3:24 pm: okay... to tell you the truth... lemon juice doesnt work THAT well you hafto be in the sun for 4 or 5 hours before it actually starts working. You can also lighten your hair by being in the sun because sun fades colors. lemon juice is acidic and can damage the roots & things to your hair.
anne_givings answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 3:21 pm: it doesnt lighten it alot but you should use a soft-bristled brush and sqeeze the lemon onto that to make it even and not get it wet for twenty four hour and sorry but i dont know any other ways besides staying out in the sun!
hope i helped!!
