How to lighten hair folk remedies without harm to their structure

Every woman wanted to lighten hair at least once in life, as, as you know, gentlemen prefer blondes. However, the whole trick is that done even in a professional salon and with the application of the latest discoveries in the field of hairdressing, such a clarification is not a very useful procedure for hair.

That's why women are constantly looking for how to lighten hair folk remedies without harm to the structure of the hair. For some of these ways, read below.

Lemon juice

At home, it is good to use lemon juice to lighten hair. The juice of this citrus fruit brightens the hair due to the fact that the pigment of citric acid is destroyed, and under the influence of direct sunlight this effect is only intensified. Also, remember that lemon juice, applied in large quantities to the scalp, can cause an unpleasant burning sensation.

In addition, citric acid has a keratolytic property and can cause dandruff. Experts recommend using lemon as a clarifier for women with oily scalp.

The way of making a mask with lemon juice is: dilute the juice with water and add to it olive oil or chamomile broth. This is necessary in order to neutralize the aggressive alkaline properties of the juice. When applying a mask with lemon on hair, you must not allow the citric acid to get on the scalp.

It's better if the lemon mixture is applied over the entire length of the curls. After such a mask, you must use a softening balm. The mask should be kept on the head for no more than two hours. By the way, if you add a drop of honey to the ingredients of the mask, the clarifying effect will be stronger. See the photos before and after.

Honey

Honey is another good natural means for lightening hair. True, he brightens well only light and fair-haired hair and only 2 tones, so the owner of dark hair, this method, most likely, will not work. Before applying the honey mask, you need to wash your head with an ordinary shampoo with the addition of a teaspoon of soda.

Then you can apply honey to your hair. It is better to take linden honey, pre-heated slightly. The procedure is somewhat inconvenient, since honey itself is very sticky and the hair on the head turns into a shapeless, sticking mass to the hands. In addition, such a mask should be kept for at least 10 hours, which in itself is unpleasant, since honey sooner or later starts to flow.

However, you will be rewarded with the result - light, shiny, silky and shining hair.

Chamomile

Pharmacy chamomile can brighten your hair without much harm to their structure. But, again, dark hair is lightened with chamomile rather difficult. This is, rather, a clarifying mask for blondes. To enhance the effect of blonding, you can add to the mask other useful herbs and oils - saffron, turmeric, lavender essential oil, honey.

Caution: Oddly enough, chamomile can cause a severe allergy, so before applying the mask to the hair, you must make an allergic skin test. Usually a decoction of chamomile for lighting hair is prepared as follows: ½ box of dry chamomile inflorescences( 25-50 g) boil in 1 glass of water or stand on a water bath for 20 minutes.

You can add lemon juice, 1-2 tablespoons burdock oil or 1-2 pinches of ground saffron. Then decoction is filtered and applied to the hair. Such a mask should be kept on the hair for at least one and a half hours. Then wash your hair with a normal shampoo.

Kefir

But the most suitable clarifying agent for brunettes is ordinary kefir. It can be applied to the hair in its pure form, and it can also be used in a complex mask. For example, in this: 1 egg yolk, 160 mg kefir, 2 tablespoons of vodka, lemon juice, a small amount of shampoo. All these components must be mixed with a spoon until smooth and spread over the hair. Put on the top of the hat and wrap the head with a towel. This mask is best left on the hair for the whole night. In the morning, wash your hair with an ordinary shampoo.
