4. Reapply lemon juice again and sit out for thirty more minutes.

5. Finally, rinse out and put in conditioner (mixture might cause dryness).  

 

The question is: Are lemons really effective to lighten your hair? We found an article by Teen Vogue telling us that it turns out lemon juice is effective for hair lightening sometimes. According to Rachel Bodt, a senior colorist at Cutler/Redken salon, a natural way of lightening your hair only works if you have a natural fair hair and texture. "When you are working with darker hair, you are dealing with red and orange undertones, and these will be the first colors to be exposed," explains Rachel.
