Lisa,

It's kinda of like going out in the sun. If you spent only one or two days per summer in the sun, you probably won't have any noticeable damage. But if you spent every day in the sun all summer long, your hair would certainly be somewhat damaged by the sun.

It all depends on how much lightening you want your hair to get.

Re: your wish to have soft and silky hair, I have found that following up shampoo & conditioner with a diluted vinegar rinse (1 tbsp in 16 ounces of distilled water) helps a lot -- but my tap water is fairly hard. The diluted vinegar rinse helps most for those with hard water. Also, the vinegar smell goes away as soon as your hair dries.

Oh,okay! Thanx Dave!!! I just want my hair to show more blonde than brown and right now it's going haywire!I'll try that shampoo & conditioner thing with vinegar rinse! Thanx!

Well vinegar will not lighten your hair. Lemon juice will bring out more blond but if that is what you're trying to do, I suggest you try a camomile rinse. Just make some camomile tea, let it cool and use it as a rinse.

Thank-you LF! You have been a BIG help! I'll try the tea thing sometime! If I use the lemon juice to bring out more blonde in my hair will it also ruin it or no?Thanx!

Conditioning-only washes have made my hair more soft and silky, which is what it sounds like you're after. There's a recent CO thread that you can read for more info if you're interested. Also, I use Burt's Bees Carrot Seed Oil spray on my hair with great "soft & silky" results. I think lemon juice wouldn't really do the trick for my hair to be soft/silky, but it does clarify as others have mentioned.

When I was younger, I used to spray lemon juice on my hair in the summer time for subtle high lights. But I hear (I don't quite remember) that it can be drying also.

Yes, lemon juice would bleach your hair a little.

Vinegar is beneficial to the scalp as it restores the ph balance but I've never heard anything about lemon juice. I suppose it would probably work in a similar way if it did anything.
