Is it true/safe to put lemon juice in your hair to lighten the color?
If you are concerned about having strong, thick and beautiful hair, then this is without doubt the most eye-opening report you will ever read. Get it now!
Lemon juice as a hair lightener will work for some hair types but, it’s not always the best choice. It has a low pH level and therefore is acidic. Using this too often on healthy hair will make it brittle.
It’s also not controllable on chemically treated hair. Hair care products, however, are formulated to have a balanced pH level which leaves the hair in better condition. Here are a few things to be aware of when considering using lemon juice as a hair lightener: - Lemon juice, plus oxygen and UV rays, equals a bleaching product.
- Lemon juice as a hair lightener is only effective on hair that is dishwater blonde or lighter in color. Its bleaching quality is only effective when used in the sun and will not lighten brunettes or red heads. - Using lemon juice on chemically treated hair can turn it an orange or brassy color.
When I was a little girl my mother would rinse my hair with lemon juice and then set me out in the sun. My hair was dish water blonde and it did help to lighten it. You just need the time to sit in the sun.
She did that a lot when I was young... and I still have all my hair... so I quess it was safe.
Yes, it's very true and safe. I've tried it before, yet don't expect it to be the same exact color as if you were to go to a professional salon to get your hair lightened or bleached. Of course it doesn't work as quickly as bleach, and might not work if your hair is already dark.
I tried it twice with no luck and it didn't seem to do any damage. I do have very thick darker side of blond hair.
This actually isn’t a myth, it’s partly true. Lemon juice won’t do anything for your hair if you don’t go outdoors, not even if you try using a blow dryer. If you want lemons to lighten your hair, work a lot of the juice through your hair and then sit in the sunlight for a while.
Should only sit; just go out and expose yourself to sunlight. The sun’s UV rays will make your hair lighter. When you use lemon juice on your hair, the citric acid in the lemon juice opens up the cuticles.
Once the cuticle gets open, the hair becomes more receptive to changes from things like the rays of the sun. Air and the UV rays from sun all those combine together and start a bleaching process. Your hair will more quickly become lighter because of the interaction between lemon juice which acts as a catalyst and the sun rays.
We refer to this as acid-catalyzed oxidation.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
