Gradual lightening

chamomile shampoos and conditioners will work without drying your hair like lemon juice can. But adding some lemon juice to your conditioner will work. Chamomile essential oil can be bought and added to your shampoos and conditioners. Also adding chamomile tea bag(s) to a bottle of shampoo will add honey tones to your hair. Vodka added to shampoo can also highlite but be careful not to use too often because it is drying. I am a natural medium blonde with 2% silver. So any of the above works for me to keep my hair from being too dark. Hope this is helpful
