My hair is naturally blonde and I want it much more lighter, what can I do? I don't really want to dye it!!

I heard putting lemon juice in your hair naturally lightens it. Since your hair is already blonde, I honestly don't know how much it will lighten or how much it will show but since it's natural, you could try it and it shouldn't hurt your hair c:

Lemon juice is far too acidic, plus it can dry your hair out and doesn't really do anything.

If you wanna go lighter you have to bleach.

Why don't you try the L'Or?al jelly for hair? I've heard good reviews on it!

You can use a high lift blonde hair dye and a 30 volume developer. Process it for about 30 minutes using a hair dryer on it for the first 5 minutes and it will be a platinum blonde. I did this method on a client who wanted ombré but not bleach and it worked out very well with a minimal amount of damage. 😄

I definitely wouldn't bleach... that's awful for your hair. Just apply honey and then wash it out! You need to google the specifics, (like how long to leave it in and stuff) but I've tried it and it lightens a lot after a few washes!

All the natural diy stuff will be just as damaging if not more damaging. I spent years trying to diy myself blonde hair without bleaching, everything dried and damaged my hair. After a haircut and some patience I got it bleached, not nearly as much damage as all the diy stuff like honey, lemon, etc. bleaching is not always damaging if done right. My hair has been bleached 6 times all over in the past 2 years. It's white now. And it's in better health than most peoples I dyed unbleached hair.

There's a shampoo and conditioner called manzanilla grisel, you can find it at target or walmart inthe hispanic section it will help you lighten your hair but you need to use both the shampoo and conditioner.
