So I want to make a citric acid spray for my hair so that I can try to get it closer to white blond with sun bleaching.

I am wondering what concentration of citric acid should I use, also should I add some leave in conditioner to the solution to keep may hair soft or will that hinder the sun bleaching?

Not sure what is the propper concrentation! But be carefull not to get it on your skin while being exposed to the sun... This can cause permanent stains on your skin.!! Goodluck.

I wouldn't recommend doing that because it more than likely won't lighten evenly.

This just sounds like a horrible experiment. It most likely won't lighten evenly, and if you have any warm undertones it will turn orange. It will be difficult to fix if it doesn't turn out correctly. It is also extremely damaging; your hair will be very dry and brittle.

Even worse, if you get any on your skin it will cause a NASTY burn.

I would recommend just getting it done at a salon. If you want white blonde it will have to be toned, not just bleached.
