Appearance changes make girls feel more attractive. One of the most common trends among women of all ages is hair lightening. Today, many people strive to dye their hair blonde, because it is this shade that is associated with tenderness and purity. However, this tone is not for everyone. Most often, fair-haired girls are lightened, half of them are happy with the result, and the rest regret it. In order not to cry later because of its natural color, you need to properly lighten your hair.

It is best to paint in salons, where specialists will select means that will not spoil the structure of the strands. But many decide to do it on their own.

There are several ways to achieve great color by lightening a light brown color without the intervention of specialists.

Folk remedies are the most harmless option, because they do not contain chemistry at all. True, a quick and long-term result is also not to be expected.

Honey masks for lightening hair are quite popular. They are not suitable for everyone, but girls with light brown strands will be surprised at the effect. Light shades are more prone to discoloration, so the result will be visible after 1-2 uses.

Unfortunately, honey contains very little substance, therefore discoloration occurs gradually, and no more than 2-3 tones.

To change the color of your hair, you need to apply honey to the strands, carefully distribute over the entire length, then wrap them in foil and wrap them in a towel.

The reason for using honey is clear, but there are always questions about lemon. Citric acid penetrates the hair and discolours the pigment. From this we can conclude that lemon itself can also be used to lighten hair. However, together with honey, citric acid will lighten the strands much faster.

• lemon juice;
• honey;
• olive oil - instead of it, you can use other components, for example, kefir, egg yolk.

To speed up the process, the oil is used in combination with other ingredients as a mask.

• Kefir is mixed with shampoo, egg yolk, and 2-3 drops of essential oil are added. This mixture must be kept on the hair for about an hour, and then washed off with warm water.

In the modern world, some girls change their hair color quite often. In order not to spoil the strands during dyeing, they use a tonic. Of course, the fact that toning and lightening hair won't last long is frustrating. However, there is no less harmless way to lighten hair by 3-5 tones.
