Then you go outside in the sun until it dries. Or, you go blowdry it. Whichever. [ advicer's advice column | Ask advicer A Question ]

i also agree on using lemon juice that you buy. not the lemons
to apply it, you can drizzle it in your hair, or maybe you could put it in a squirt bottle and spray it as often as needed. the bug part, i would agree... but i mean i doubt it will happen if your in a sunny place. also... about the time, just go outside on a sunny day... maybe you could go swimming
and stay. it will lighten up. also... IT does damage your hair and it does sometimes turn orange
basketcase_x08 answered Thursday June 28 2007, 1:16 pm: Yes it does.
It has a chemical property similar to hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol that lowers your susceptibility to sunlight. I want to say it weakens melinin. but I think thats the wrong.... thing. .. basically it magnifies the sunlight on your hair/skin.
I wouldn't buy lemons. get lemon juice. or Hydrogen Peroxide. (Lemon juice will attract bugs. my friend tried it.)
... to apply it.. I don't quite know. just make sure its even. and dont get it on your scalp or the rest of your skin.
a good couple of hours in the sun will do it.
