If you have dark brown hair, be really careful with sun-in. It turns some dark brown hair to an orange color. I've heard that lemon juice works pretty well though:)

I would say until your hair isn't wet anymore from the lemon juice.

I'm guessing you're wanting to lighten your hair without the damage a lightener does. However you need that hydrogen peroxide to decolorize your melanin. If you have Virgin black hair, putting lemon in it may tint it depending on how porous your hair is but it will not lift you. And if you have color treated hair the only thing that will life you is a lightener. Be careful when using alternative methods, they may mess up your hair more than a lightener.

You really shouldnt put lemon juice in your hair I tried it and my hair turned yellowish but I reccomend Hydroden Poroxide.. Little mire damaging but it won't turn your hair yello.
