Hey guys! So it's almost summer and I want to lighten my hair using the sun! I have tried the water and lemon juice thing and that did not work and I also tried baking soda and hydrogen peroxide and that didn't work either. What are some methods that you have tried that actually lighten your hair? Thanks!

I used straight peroxide to get my hair blonde. It worked really well for me, but my hair is naturally dark blonde so I only needed to lighten it a few shades.

Just sit outside in the sun, that's what I do and it does make it lighter :)

I use sun in on my darkish brown hair and it made it a pretty honey blonde.

I agree with Jacqlyn. Sun in has turned many a brunette orange.

@jacqlyn that may be true for some people but for me it gives really nice highlights.
