Blondes have always had a good reputation for having more fun, while brunettes are known for their mystery and red heads for their feisty sexy attitude. Adding natural highlights to your darker hair is a great way to give yourself a new look, without over processing your hair and without costing a fortune.
A natural resource like the sun is a great way to naturally lighten your darker hair.
Lighter hair tends to soften the face, so having highlights is an easy way to give you a softer look. If you have facial features that aren't your favorite and you want to conceal or draw attention away from them, highlights are a great way to do that. Highlights also make your face appear slimmer. To speed up the process of getting highlights with the natural heat of the sun, here are a host of ideas that work.
Lemon Juice - this is a cheap and easy way to lighten hair. Just put the juice in a spray bottle, spray on your hair where you want the highlights to go and lay in the sun, take a walk outside or blow-dry your hair. The result is great looking sun-streaked highlighted hair. A true staple in sun enhanced hair lightener - Sun In. It's a cheap, simple way to lighten hair without breaking the bank. It also has lemon juice in it.
With both lemon juice and Sun In, it's a good idea to use a deep conditioner since it is known to dry out hair. To keep hair healthy and shiny, try VO5 Hot Oil at least once a week, along with a great conditioner.
Swimming in pools - whether you're a swimmer or a sunbather, taking a dip in a pool is a sure way to lighten up your hair. The chlorine lightens hair gradually, but beware of your hair drying out. Remember to keep it well conditioned. Rhubarb Juice - this is another great way to naturally lighten your hair. Put in a spray bottle and spray where you want the highlights to appear and either sit in the sun or blow-dry your hair. If you're hair is a dirty blonde already, try hydrogen peroxide, which is another very cheap natural way to lighten your hair.
