Thanks to the latest hair color trends, where light shades, platinum blonde hair and even fantasy hair colors prevail, women must undergo a bleaching process to achieve any of these styles, and we all know that bleaching involves chemicals that despite being very effective, can seriously damage the hair and make it fragile and brittle.
This leads us to ask ourselves: is there any way to lighten the hair naturally and minimize the damage? Yes, we can achieve it through some home remedies that, as well as lightening your hair, will give it more vitality, so let’s do it!
A quick, subtle and simple way to lighten your hair is by using lime juice. We just need a glass of water and 2 to 3 tablespoons of lime juice. Mix it and apply it on the part of the hair you want to lighten up, then stand under the sun until our hair is dry and voila! Little by little the tone will become lighter.
However, although it is very effective, lime cannot be used consecutively since its properties can be harmful to the hair, so we can mix in other ingredients such as egg and beer, and we will get a treatment that in addition to lightening your hair, will also protect it and keep it healthy.
Also, we can mix the lime with another powerful lightener, such as chamomile, which will add shine to your hair and keep it healthy. Take a chamomile teabag and submerge it in previously boiled water, let it sit and then add some lime juice. Apply the infusion to the hair, let it act for 10 to 20 minutes, rinse with plenty of water and then wash it as usual.
You can also make a treatment by mixing honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil and cinnamon. These ingredients are also very moisturizing, thanks to the properties of olive oil that help nourish the hair. Mix in a bowl a spoonful of cinnamon powder, some olive oil, two cups of apple cider vinegar and a cup of delicious honey. Apply in the areas you want to lighten up, then cover your head with a towel and let it sit for as long as you can. Then, rinse with plenty of water.
Baking soda is a solid crystalline compound that can be used for many things. One of them is the power to lighten the hair or skin. Simply mix two tablespoons in a glass of water until it dissolves. Apply it on wet hair and let it act for 10 minutes. Rinse with a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar and then wash the hair. It is important not to do it very often because it weakens the hair. Ideally repeat it once a month.
A quick way to lighten the hair is by mixing lime juice, apple cider vinegar and honey. Put a glass of water in a saucepan. Add 1-2 spoonfuls of honey. When it boils add two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and lime juice. Mix everything and let it sit. Apply it to the hair, let act for 20 minutes and rinse.
Finally, you can also use rhubarb, an edible plant that will lighten your hair delicately. You just have to boil a glass of water and add some leaves, let it cook for a few minutes and then let it sit. Then, put it in a blender and apply it as a mask all over the hair, let it act for about 15 minutes and rinse with plenty of water.
These easy tips can be used once or twice a week, that way, your hair will not suffer any damage. If you do it constantly, you will have a beautiful and light hair in no time!
