Valentines Special- 5 Home Remedies To Lighten Your Hair

Do you think that hair lightening is all about drenching your adorable tresses in harsh chemicals? Not necessarily. If you wish, you can make your locks a few shades lighter just by opting for some natural ingredients and that too without causing any brassiness. Want to know more? Here are top 5 remedies to try out for this purpose-

* Honey and Water

Take some pure, raw honey and mix it with some plain water. Apply it all over your hair nicely. You can either keep it for 2 to 3 hours or put on a shower cap and go to the bed to leave it for the whole night. Finally, wash off with some lukewarm water.

* Lemon Spray

Squeeze out the juice of fresh lemons to get 1 full cup of it. Pour it into a spray bottle and add (1/4) cup of tepid water. Shake well to get your lemon spray. Spritz it onto your hair generously every 30 minutes and try to stay under the sun at least for some time right after the application.

* Salt and Water

Prepare a concoction by mixing 1 cup of regular salt with 5 cups of plain water. Apply it all over your hair and leave for next 15 minutes. Then, rinse with plain water carefully.

* Vinegar and Water

Just like the salt-water rinse, a vinegar-water rinse can also help in making the natural color of our hair lighter. Combine 1 cup of white vinegar with 6 cups of plain water and allow it sit on your hair for 15 minutes. Then, wash off with normal water.

* Cinnamon

Take a handful of a good herbal conditioner and add 1 tablespoon of fine cinnamon powder to it. Mix well and coat your hair uniformly from roots to the ends with the mixture. Try to leave it overnight by wearing a shower cap. Otherwise, rinse away after 2 to 3 hours.
