How to lighten your hair color naturally

You, dear reader, might be able to achieve that alluring hair look and lighten your hair by trying out the following homemade hair masks.

However, before you dive in, here are some essential considerations:

You might see quicker and more pronounced results if your hair is already naturally light and soft to the touch.

• If your hair is darker, you're dealing with underlying red and orange undertones, so these are the colors that will show up first.
• If you have light brown hair, you might get some darker blonde highlights.
• If your hair is red, it may turn into a strawberry blonde shade.
• If your hair is very dark brown or black, there's a possibility that you won't see any results from these natural lightening remedies because your hair is rich in dark pigments, making it quite challenging to lift the color.

Here are some ways you can naturally lighten your hair using common household ingredients:

1. Lemon Juice

You can use lemon juice to lighten your hair, but be cautious as lemon is acidic and can be harsh on your hair. The best way to use this method is to mix lemon juice with conditioner or coconut oil. The conditioner or coconut oil provides hydration, while the lemon works to lighten your hair color.

2. Vitamin C

3. Saltwater:

Mix some salt with water and spray it on your hair if you're at the beach. This will help open up your hair cuticles and expose them to the sun, resulting in lighter hair. Keep in mind that if you have dyed hair, regardless of the color, the sun can cause the dye to fade. To protect your hair color from fading, use UV-protective shampoo and conditioner.

4. Apple Cider Vinegar:

5. Cinnamon and Honey Mask:

This delightful-smelling mask naturally lightens and moisturizes your hair. When you mix honey and cinnamon, it activates the small amounts of hydrogen peroxide in honey, lightening your hair up to two shades if left on for 30-40 minutes.
