I saw a video on youtube about mixing lemon juice with water, spraying it on your hair, and then spending time in the sun will "naturally" lighten your hair. has anyone tried this? does it work? is it bad for your hair?

It does work, however it may have a drying effect. Adding honey or oil such as Sunflower or Jojoba to the lemon mix could aid in conditioning the hair. Chamomile, I've heard, is a great substitute for lemon and is known for it's calming abilities!

Thanks for the tips! I have long blonde hair and I've noticed it got darker and have been wanting to lighten it naturally. I'm definitely trying this out tomorrow! how long does it last?

It lasts until it grows out. Like highlights. I use this method and I also suggest combing your hair after applying the mixture to make sure it's applied evenly.
