In fact, natural hair lightening can be traced all the way back to Ancient Greece. The Grecians would apply gold, pollen, and olive oil to their hair while spending hours luxuriating in the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, there are many options for lightening your hair, including a million different drug store bleaching kits that boast instant results. Yes, bleaching and techniques like <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/balayage-vs-highlights.php\">balyage and highlights<\/a> will give you that instant sun-kissed look\u2014but there are some factors to consider. Any time you bleach your hair, you\u2019re risking your hair\u2019s health. <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/about\">Here at Prose<\/a>, we are all about cutting out chemicals and focusing on the endless benefits of natural ingredients. Try out some of these chemical-free techniques before reaching for the bleach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring In the Lemons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve probably heard of the lemon juice hack. It\u2019s incredibly popular and surprisingly easy to try. According to hair care professionals, the vitamin C in lemon juice can actually work to naturally lighten hair, sans chemicals. However, this tip will work best to lighten hair that is naturally blonde or a lighter shade to begin with.Did you know that you\u2019re not supposed to apply lemon juice straight to your hair? Lemon juice is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenvogue.com\/story\/how-to-lighten-hair-with-the-sun\">extremely acidic<\/a>, so squeezing a lemon over your head before heading out for a day at the pool is actually not the right move. The acid in the lemon juice, combined with a day of chlorine water, is a recipe for a dry hair nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lemons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-conditioner?gclid=CjwKCAiA6aSABhApEiwA6Cbm_xo7w91b1JYup--A40jgcaXmmqfT0yOzZ02a0DcLSiBcG6KlVJ9gTRoCJ4MQAvD_BwE\">Conditioner<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spray bottle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hair wrap or shower cap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:11px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to use lemon juice as a natural hair lightening hack is to dilute it in one of two ways. First, you can try mixing lemon juice and water with a ratio of two tablespoons of lemon juice to one cup of water. Place the mixture in a spray bottle, apply to hair and let dry in the sun. For overnight effects, once your hair is dry, wrap it up and sleep with the solution in your hair overnight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for a more hydrating option, you can mix the lemon juice with conditioner or coconut oil. Wrap your hair up in a shower cap\u2014to prevent any overnight messes\u2014and enjoy the lightening effects of the lemon juice paired with the reparative benefits of an overnight moisture treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vitamin C Tablets or Powder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not a fan of that lemony fresh scent, you can skip the lemon juice and go straight for the active ingredient, vitamin C. Although vitamin C works similarly to lemon juice, it can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenvogue.com\/story\/how-to-lighten-hair-with-the-sun\">remove mineral build up<\/a> in your hair as an added bonus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>What you\u2019ll need<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vitamin C tablets or powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spray Bottle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hair Wrap or Shower Cap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Crush up a vitamin C tablet (or any pre-ground vitamin C powder), add to water, and spritz onto your hair. Place your hair in a shower cap and let the natural, overnight lightening take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block--full-width-cta section\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"cta-card\">\n            <p>Always made to order.

Combine a fourth cup of strong chamomile tea with one fourth cup apple cider vinegar and a squeeze of lemon juice. Spray the mixture to saturate your hair, let dry, and leave in overnight. This hack can also be used in the sun to increase its lightening effects.Apple cider vinegar has many amazing benefits as a hair care product. It can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/natural-hair-lightener#lightening-options\">balance the pH<\/a> of your hair, remove oil buildup, and even help detangle and de-frizz your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1\/4th cup of strong chamomile tea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/4th cup apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Squeeze of lemon juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spray bottle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hair wrap or shower cap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:11px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;For a gentle approach, combine one part apple cider vinegar to six parts water. You can leave this in overnight and repeat until you get the lightening results you want. This method can take time and repetition to achieve the desired shade\u2014so be patient. This approach is gentle and slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raw honey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This hack has worked to lighten hair up to two whole shades for some people, and it also smells fantastic. When combined, raw honey and cinnamon become a great natural hydrogen peroxide booster, leaving you with chemical-free, at-home highlights. It is important to use raw honey in this mask, as processed honey doesn\u2019t contain the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/natural-hair-lightener#lightening-options\">level of active enzymes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create this hair mask, combine a quarter cup of raw honey, one tablespoon of cinnamon, and one tablespoon of olive oil (for a little added hydration). If your paste is too thick, you can also add one tablespoon of water to loosen things up. Combine the ingredients and let them sit for one hour before applying. If you have gorgeous, Rapunzel-length hair or an extra thick mane, you may need to double or even triple this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After applying, wrap your hair up for an overnight treatment. This natural lightening mask is hydrating, so you can repeat this process up to 10 times without damaging your hair\u2014take that, bleach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cinnamon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1\/2 cup conditioner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tbsp of cinnamon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Cinnamon can also be used to lighten hair on its own. Simply combine a half cup of your favorite conditioner and two tablespoons of cinnamon. This hydrating mask can be left in overnight with the help of a shower cap and will leave your hair with natural highlights and a silky-smooth texture. Just rinse out with shampoo, follow up with conditioner, then dry and style as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sun-In is not Natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry, guys. Unfortunately Sun-In is not the hair lightening miracle we hoped for as teens. In fact, it\u2019s full of chemical ingredients that\u2014depending on your hair color\u2014could leave you with orange, crunchy locks. Sun-In creates a chemical reaction that changes the color of your hair and could even cause trouble if you decide to <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/6-tips-for-dyeing-your-hair-from-brown-to-blonde.php\">dye your hair<\/a> later on. So say goodbye to this \u201890s flop and opt for a more natural approach with one of the other techniques we\u2019ve outlined here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Care of Your Naturally Lightened Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you have the inside scoop on all the ways to naturally lighten your hair overnight in the comfort of your home.
