I've heard that chamomile tea will do good things to lighten up blonde hair. I'm trying to lighten up my blonde hair without using dyes - do home remedies even work?

Chamomile tea will not color your hair, but it can bring out highlights. Tea bags don't work as well as buying chamomile in bulk, because companies tend to add other herbs into their tea as well. You can buy chamomile in bulk at healthfood stores.

Another easy way to bring out highlights is to use lemon juice. For both chamomile and lemon juice, don't expect a drammatic change. They will not MAKE highlights-- they only BRING OUT highlights by making your hair shinier and slightly (very slightly) yellow-tinted.

For a more drammatic change, you can try natural henna. Healthfood stores carry henna in various colors, so you can choose which one you like best.

Good luck,
PD

I heard henna was a bad product for hair. That's why I didn't use it. Can you tell me what you know?

Personally, I have never used henna. But I know one woman who has. Henna makes her hair much thicker and stronger, but also dryer. If I were you, I wouldn't use henna on all of the hair, otherwise it might become coarse. But I think a few highlights would be fine-- way safer than a whole head of hair. Besides, compared to all of the chemical and unnatural hair dyes, I think henna is by far a safer product.

If you try henna, I would suggest doing a good, long moisturizing treatment before coloring/highlighting...and probably another moisturizing treatment right after, too.

Good luck,
PD

WELL i HAVE USED NOT EXACTLY HENNA, BUT ONE CALLED BIGEN AND ITS GREAT, IT DOESNT LIGHTENHAIR BUT THEY HAVE GREAT SHADES I USED A LIGHT CHESTNUT AND I WAS SURPRISED AT THE RESULTS CAUSE I USUALLY ONLY USE THE ORIENTAL BLACK, ITS A PERMANENT COLOR SO, WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT IS THAT I HATE TO GET RED SHADES OR GOLD SHADES ON MY HAIR, LIKE IF I USED A BROWN IT AND THE BASE WAS RED I WOULD HAVE THOSE RED STREAKS ALL OVER, WITH THIS YOU JUST GET PURE COLOR WITH NO RED OR GOLD IN IT, ITS GREAT JUST THAT IT DOESNT LIGHTEN DARK HAIR, TRY IT IT REALLY WORKS AND HAS NO PEROXIDE, I LOVE IT!
