if you lighten it with anything to do with salts, such as baking soda. you wil need to do a oil treatment afterwards to help keep your hair from being super damaged. coconut oil is what i use. it smells great and combats the dryness. both the apple cidar vinegar and baking soda mixed twice a week for a few weeks you will notice a difference. but nothing will compare to outright just going to salon and getting the instant highlights. people expect instant results too often with things that are meant to do over long periods of time. so in other words if you want instant noticable results just go to salon or buy the lighteners yourself. bc the at home methods like this are for people who have patience and time to do so.
Thank you for the HONEST video! I’m turning fifty this year and if I could go back in time, I would stay FAR FAR away from sun in. I used it with a hair dryer in my college days one fall. I was astounded at how quickly and how well it worked. I loved the results…. Until I got a perm…( this was early 90’s, lol) my hair was like…. “Sorry, I’ve had it with you abusing me.” At least half my hair broke off about 3 inches from my roots. There was no hiding it… it looked like someone dumped a bowl of wilted lettuce on my head. I had to either wear my hair in a bun or try to curl it into a weird layered look. It took several years to grow it all back naturally and when it finally all did, I realized, my hair was actually quite lovely. Not one chemical in the past 30 years since! If anything, I’d say if you can, try to embrace your natural color…. Just let it breathe for awhile. You are not your hair. You’re beautiful. Beauty is truly on the inside. (Says the girl who admittedly was searching for videos of “how to lighten your hair naturally.” )I should take my own advice. Gonna go feed my cats!
Hello, and thank you for this detailed video 🙂 I also have light brown hair and wanted to try to lighten it naturally. I have tried last summer for a month the following method: Every single day I applied a mixture of strong chamomille tea with lots of lemon onto my hair and sat outside for like 1 or 2 hours around midday. I haven't dyed my hair before. No result, I should have rather drank that awesome chamomille tea with lemon! I was so mad, wasting so much time and drink! I also have to add that my hair is thin, so I supposed to have a high change for good results..
I’m really thinking about doing a lemon juice, camomile, hydrogen peroxide and maybe sometype of oil (like coconut or rosemary) rinse and just soak my hair in the mix in a bowl then going outside in the sun on a hot day letting it air dry. Really think I’m going to try it, if the camomile doesn’t work at least my hair will be soft and my hope is the oil would protect from damage but maybe I could just do an oil or deep conditioning afterwards 🤔
Oh, god. the baking soda. rip. I tried that whole no shampooing thing years ago and the one I was following called for a lot of baking soda and this was on hair that's never heat-styled, had never been dyed, and it just felt horrible. People said the hair needed time to acclimate, so I kept doing it, but it was just getting worse. Never again lol.
I have the last product as a natural blonde it made my hair have a more red ish tint and it also smells bad and made my hair a weird texture it did work but yah
Hello if you’re referring the the John frienda and sunbum, the results per session are immediate but I split up the sessions as to not cause damage so it took several months !
