    It is a gradual process so just sitting in the sun for hours one day will not make a dramatic difference to the color of your hair. Try it for an hour a week straight and see if you notice any change.

      • Be sure to wash and condition your hair after every session because the acidity of the lemons can dry out your hair. If you can deep condition, I find this works best.
      • Don't go in a chlorine pool a week after applying the lemon spray, as it can react to your hair and potentially turn it green!
      • Try to stay in the sun for about 1 to 4 hours. The process of lightening your hair is gradual, so try to be patient.
