So I have seen many videos about using Limon juice to lighten your hair? I saw one where her hair got lighter with only lemon juice and sunlight, does it really work.

It will but not a whole lot. It has small amounts of hydrogen peroxide. It will damage your hair if you use too much,though.

Yeah it works really well for me. I mix lemon juice with chamomile tea and spray it all over my hair. Usually I do this in the summer or when I know I'm going to be outside in the sun all day. The first few days I get noticeable highlights and then it evens out with more uses. I've been doing this for about four years and I haven't experienced any drying or damage to my hair.

It will work if your hair is already light in color. If your hair is already light brown or dirty blonde, that is. If it's any darker then your hair will just turn orange and brassy. Also, I wouldn't recommend using lemon on your hair regardless of your color, because it is very drying to your hair and can cause some serious damage :)

It'll work slightly.
I use it to try to strip my hair of color if I've dyed it too dark.

It works, but it damages your hair. don't think that just because it's natural it's not going to harm your hair :)
