Comb lemon juice evenly through your hair, and then let it dry in the sun. Repeat the treatment once a day for at least a week.

It does work very well! I used to do this when I was in high school.

Is it ok to use lemon juice once a day? I heard it can be damaging also I mix it with my condition please contact me

TipKing says: Using something too much is always a bad idea, so I suggest you just try the tip out once to see the results. No you will not get the same results with a hair dryer

Does it matter what color your hair is? I have heard that it should be used on blonde hair and that it turns brown hair an orange color and i have brown hair. Should I just try? I also want to know how long it takes to wear out because mine must be out before I go back to school because I will have to dye my hair back to its natural color. Please give me an answer!

TipKing says: The straight answer is 'I do not know', as with all the tips sent into the site it is trial and error
