I have naturally dark brown hair, but i dyed it black 5 months ago. I want to know if lemon juice will lighten it since its summer now?

Lemon juice won't do much by way of lightening hair that's been dyed black but it will lift a teeny tiny bit. Lemon juice is also a great natural hair conditioner because, like vinegar, it is acidic ;-) There's nothing to lose by giving it a try ;-)

You can try peroxide but when it lifts it will have a brassy tone so if you do it be sure to experiment first with some hair clippings in a clear glass bowl to make sure you'll like the final effect. You can check every five minutes to see the lightening effects/progress.

Hope this helped :-)

I think lemon juice will dry out your hair. I don't think it will change the color. If you don't like the color, can you try another color?

Use straight proxide, might have to do it several times, using a hair dryer to heat so it will activate it. but after doing so use a good conditioner or your hair will be extremely dry.

Lemon Juice will not lighten chemically colored hair.
