Posted on 03/22/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hair Lightening Recipe By Kate (Guest Post) I have natually really blonde hair and in the winter time I tend to get some darker roots! I have tried to use sun-in to lighten the roots of my hair, it worked for a little bit untill my hair started to break off! I had fairly long hair and had to cut it to my chin and my layers were about only an inch or two inches long. I do not recommend sun-in at all! I used to use the 'touch of sun' but apparently it's been discontinues. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other ways of lightening natually blonde hair without the damages. Thanks!

Posted on 01/08/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse Hair Lightener By Teresita (Guest Post) You should always use chamomile, never vinegar, because that damages your hair very badly. Chamomile works in the winter, too, because you can pour it over your hair a few times and you can notice the lightening. It's great!

I wanted to lighten it a bit, so I put lots of real Lemon juice in my hair, then wrapped it up in a towel for an hour. I left the lemon juice in for the night, (it was dry by then). In the morning it looked a little dull, so I washed it like I would normally wash it, and it's a nice golden brown now.

Just remember to wash it out with good quality shampoo or it dries your hair out a lot. Good luck Posted on 12/26/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hair Lightening Recipe By lala (Guest Post) Dried Chamomile also lightens hair in sunlight. I brewed tea bags in a cup or 2 of water, let it cool and then put it into my hair and then went out into the sun. After a few hours I could see brighter highlights.

To be honest, the best I've ever used is Prell shampoo. Don't use it daily, it will strip the almighty right out of your hair, but I'd suggest using it twice a week. The artificial color will fade right out. Posted on 12/12/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hair Lightening Recipe By Alley (Guest Post) I have dirty blonde hair and I tried using lemon.

I dyed my naturally blonde hair a vibrant red/brown colour about 4 months ago. Even now the colour will NOT fade! I was told by hairdresser that they could not do anything until it grows out but I desperately want to get back to my natural colour, or close to it. Does anyone know the best recipe (e.g. vinegar, lemon juice, etc) to lighten it and fade the red without using chemicals? Thanks! You need to go to a professional salon and tell them to put a blond color in with a green base color. I know that sounds really stupid but complimentary colors neutralize each other and you will be able to go back to your natural color in no time! it all depends on how light or dark your hair is because if it is a darker color it will take a few coloring services, but will be totally worth it in the end if you go to the right salon they will know what you are talking about and if they don't then go elsewhere. Posted on 10/29/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hair Lightening Recipe By SuperDave (Guest Post) This is the ingredients : Water, Hydrogen Peroxide, Polysorbate 20, Laureth 23, Fragrance, Soytrimonium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Etidronic Acid I know it has 2,4% of peroxide. So you can use 10 volume peroxide which is 3% and dilute it with the lemon juice to get exactly 2,4%. Instead of the lemon oil (I don't know what it is), I used lemon concentrate. It works well.

It's just the maths, just finished my Certificate in Hairdressing. Please don't put loads of Sun In on your hair and use irons, You're drying your hair out and damaging your hair with heat in it's weakened state. There are plenty of situations where your hair snaps off so please be careful. I wouldn't suggest trying to go from black to blond. They are opposites can't you see that. Be sure lighten with a 20 vol and pop in some brown. I can't see much wrong with that, but jeez guys, calm with the vinegar, that stuff acts the same as a clarifying shampoo. What you need now is plenty of conditioner and leave it on all night! x Posted on 09/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hair Lightening Recipe By Violet (Guest Post) Hi all.

Posted on 09/10/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hair Lightening Recipe By Melissa (Guest Post) Sun In does work really well in lightening hair, but only if it is already a lighter color. If you have dark brown or black hair, it will turn out red. I had been dying my hair black for about 3 years, I used Color Fix to take the blacck out, and then used Sun In to lighten it a little more. When I went to the salon to get a trip, they told me to never use Sun In again because of the damaging effects. I didn't think it had damaged my hair to much. But it was red.

Posted on 08/11/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hair Lightening Recipe By brin de soleil (1) Contact I have a a couple bottles of the Clairol Touch of Sun and it is like gold to me. Be careful of Sun In it doesn't work very well. All of you that are using lemon juice might want to be careful because that doesn't have a fading effect like Touch of Sun so you end up with really obvious roots at the end of the summer. That can be embarassing. Touch of Sun you can control the color so easily. So here is what I am going to do. I've located a lab that can break down the percentages of all the ingredients. If it doesn't cost much I will either post the easy recipe or I will put some together to sell. How does that sound? I will keep you posted...

Posted on 07/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hair Lightening Recipe By Alison (Guest Post) Be careful with Sun-In. In my youth, I think I was in 6th grade, I tried to lighten my hair with Sun-In and a blow dryer. I got results. Intense results- and cried so much about my platinum blond splotches that my Mom took me to get corrective coloring. My hairdresser cringed when I told her I used Sun-In because apparently the chemicals never truly wash out of your hair, you have to wait until it grows out. And it will continue to lighten your hair each time you go into the sun. I don't know if thats 100% true and I've used it since, but with extreme caution. I'm sort of afraid of it! But it does provide results. Posted on 07/17/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse Hair Lightening Recipe By mollie. (Guest Post) A few years ago, my mom bought me KMS Color Vitality from our hair dresser. You can select strands to dye or just go wild with your entire head, and sit out in the sun for a while. A few weeks ago, I decided to try this. I drenched my hair with this stuff, and by the end of the weekend, my hair was much much lighter. I naturally have a lightish brown hair, but when I was finished, my hair was a golden honey color. I really liked it a lot, and people actually noticed it and complimented me. Now here's the problem: My hair growing and my roots are starting to show again. And of course, they're much darker, and it looks pretty awful. I don't know if I should continue to do this lightening process (I'd much rather not), but if I don't, I'll have to live with two different hair colors. Any advice?

But you've got to even them out. NEVER use too much vinegar with just a little lemon! I think too much of that routine would damage your hair but if you use it twice or three times a week, you're okay ;) Another less lightening thing is the Sunsilk shampoo for dyed hair but it slightly and gradually lightens naturally dark hair. I hear butter in the sun makes your hair A LOT lighter. Is it true? Oh, forgot to mention chamomile. That's a huge hair lightener and I think there are recipes on using it for hair, somewhere on the Internet.

Sit in the sun for at least 20 to 30 minutes and blow dry or for better results keep the mixture on your head for 1 to 2 hours and wash off. Try this twice or thrice a week to get desired color.

My hair isn't remotely orange, but more of a medium-light, very natural looking, golden blonde. And it's shinier than ever, and isn't remotely dried out/damaged.

When you mix it half and half, put it into a spray bottle. Spray in hair. Make sure it is soaked. Leave it in for as long as you want not any less than 2 hours. If you wont faster results, blow dry your hair on high heat. Leave in one hour then wash. You will see better results: much lighter much faster.
