Natural ways to lighten hair/get highlights?

I have fine, long, dark blonde/light brown hair. I'd like to lighten it a little bit and get some highlights. I'd still like it to look pretty natural, not shockingly bright blonde all of a sudden.

    Put lemon juice in your hair and sit in the sun for a half hour. To darken hair put cranberry juice in your hair and sit in the sun for a half hour.

    Go out into the sun, it naturally lightens your hair. You could also use lemons to make your hair lighter. You could also buy some conditioner to bring out your natural highlights like "Sheer Blonde". Hope that helps :)

    You could use a little lemon juice in your hair before going in the sun. Lemon juice does very subtle highlights that have a natural sun kissed look.

    Try John Freida Sheer Blonde shampoo or apply lemon juice to the areas you want highlights in.

    I heard lemon juice works. Sun-in also works and it's heat activated so you can just spray it in damp hair and blow dry it. My sister had dark blonde hair and the sun in lightened hers nicely and it was gradual too so it looks natural. You cam get sun in at walmart or jewel

    If you put lemon juice on your hair, then go outside for half an hour to an hour, your hair will become a little bit lighter.

If no longer, becoming it out may be extra helpful. in case you positioned 2 forms of dye over already bleached hair, you may injury it to the component you will would desire to diminish it off besides. Your avatar percentseems to have a super sort of length, perhaps you ought to look at some style of longer layered shag you ought to advance out actual to help ease the transition.

    Extensive amounts of sunlight can lead to a blonde tinting of darker hair, mainly on tips though.
