color and long hair

I don`t know how you expect your hair to get lighter without doing anything to it. The only way to do it without the use of lemon juice or chemicals is to go out in the sun...a lot. What you might want to try is Sun-In, just spray it at the roots and comb through, then use a hair dryer. Trust me it`s totally natural looking and it actually conditions your hair instead of drying it out or damaging it. My hair is the same color and i know how annoying it is, but unfortunately you have to give it a boost of color, otherwise it is very drab and mousy looking.
