  • Question
    Could using a lemon make your hair grow or maybe have an effect on its growth?
    Community Answer
    No. Lemon isn't good for your hair, or for your skin for that matter. It's harsh and drying. It can lighten the color of your hair a little, if that's something you want, but it will not help with growth. There are many things you can use to aid hair growth.
