Dye hair from brown, to blond?

okay i want to naturally dye my hair from medium/light brown to a blond. not a light light blond. but a medium or dirty blond.

im prepared to deal with damages.

i want to do it naturally. but i cant do it with lemon juice. we dont have any.

i will sit out in the sun for several hours, i do on a daily basis but i need some ideas as to what to put in my hair while im out there. ideas?

i will not go and get it done professionally and will not go to the store and get a dye box. i want to do it naturally.

that was kind of confusing. so the actual question is, what can i put in my hair besides lemon juice and store bought dye boxes that will lighten it?

Hydrogen peroxide is the standard lightener, but be very careful with the dosing or your hair will get very brittle. Try a *very* dilute solution. That's not "natural" -- but really nothing is.

But before you do that, reconsider -- no colour is going to look nearly as good on you as your natural colour -- it matches your skin tone much better. Think about how WEIRD it looks when men dye their hair blond -- it's the same thing for women, it's just that we've gotten used to looking at all those fake blondes. Try to appreciate your lovely shiny hair!

Lots of people occasionally have the urge to change or enhance the color of their hair but are unwilling to use the harsh and, in some cases, potentially harmful chemicals found in most commercial dyes and color rinses.

If you're concerned about the hazards that such ingredients present, you'll be glad to learn that you can achieve results similar to those possible with beauty shop products, quickly, inexpensively and safely. Just as men and women have done for thousands of years, you can change your basic hair color, put new highlights in your locks or naturally darken gray strands using safe herbs.

Although there are a few especially potent exceptions (such as henna and walnut hulls, both of which I'll discuss later), most herbal dyes act progressively, that is, they should be used repetitively over a period of time until the desired shade is achieved. Furthermore, I don't know of any herb that'll actually serve as a bleach, but there are plant-based colorants that will highlight, darken, lighten or cover the gray in your hair.

Despite their versatility, however, herbal infusions cannot match the strength of commercial preparations, and, unless you decide to dye your curls black, an organic rinse won't cover your hair's present shade. The best idea is to simply enrich the natural color of your hair, so avoid trying to make drastic changes (such as turning blond tresses to a very deep shade or dyeing gray hair darker than it was originally). You should also keep in mind that herbal dyes aren't permanent and will fade unless renewed occasionally.

If you've recently used commercial dyes, color rinses or straighteners on your hair, you'd be wise to test any herbaceous dyestuff before applying it to your head, since chemical residues left in your locks may make it impossible to predict the action of the natural treatment.

To perform the evaluation, you'll need to save some snips of hair from your next trim or cut a lock from the nape of your neck and prepare a small amount of whatever dye recipe you want to try. Following the instructions for that mixture, apply it to a sample of hair, then rinse the lock thoroughly and let it dry (in direct sunlight, if possible). Observe the result under strong, natural light, and if you want more or less color, simply adjust the number of rinses and/or the timing accordingly. After a couple of trial runs, you should be able to produce exactly the shade you want.

This is just an idea, it may be the citric acid in lemon juice that does the lightening along with the sun, if you have any kind of citrus fruit, like grapefruit or oranges , you might give it a try, or any fruit that has acid in it, even kiwi fruit has an acid in it, pineapple, it may not work as well as lemon but it is worth a try, and not as harsh as peroxide and as unpredictable .
