I made a mixture of lemon and water (to water the lemon down) for the purpose to lighten my hair. But, I was wondering if that's actually damaging or bad for your hair?

Nope I do it all the time in the summer and I actually just pour straight lemon juice onto my hair and it gave me high lights ;)

Actually it is really bad for your hair, Lemon has a pH of 2, skin have a level of 4-5, those two points might not sound so severe but one thing with a pH of 0 is battery acid. Lemon juice will dry out your hair and leave its cuticle open to even more future damage. If you want to lighten your hair use a dye.
