Ok...no matter what anyone says..do not touch sun-in. This is the worst stuff ever. It is very damaging and we as stylists are taught to never do any chemical service on hair that sun in has been used on!!


It has metallic salt dye in it which causes the hair to melt when another chemical is introduced. Not good.


Lots of sun is good. This is 100% natural and you get a lot of benefits from the sun.


Lemon juice is okay to close the cuticle on the hair...but not for lightening. It can be drying on the hair if you do this a lot.


You could always go and have a few foils put in at the crown area that will punch up your color.


I hope my answer is helpful to you and good luck!!How to lighten your hair without using bleaching, dying or doing anything salon-related to it?
You can get something called Sun-In that can be found in the hair dye section. You just spray it in and then go out in the sun. You can also get an at home highlighting kit such as Loreal Hi-Light stylist, Clairol nice and easy shade on shade, Loreal frost and design kit, etc. There's quite a few of them out there They're not nearly as expensive as going to the salon, just follow the instructions carefully and have a friend help you out with the back. All of these can be found at Walmart, Target, drugstores.
Lemon juice. Mix 1 part to 1 part (even mixture of water and lemon juice), then spritz on your hair and go outside in the sunshine. It should begin to lighten. Continue for as long as you like for the highlights or for all over just use the juice solution.





The citric acid in the juice is what does it. It's natural and it won't harm your hair or you. Just remember to moisturize.





Good luck!
If you mean non-salon-related by not having to go to the salon or use hair-dye from a box, then you can try sun-in spray. It's not expensive and doesn't do much damage. Simply spending more time in the sun works too.
I have used this spray which is called ';sun-in'; I got it from the chemist and it is supposed to naturally bleach your hair. You just spray it in and then blow dry it and it goes lighter
Lemon juice with chamomile, go in the sun and spritz it in and it should work. Beer works as well.
Put lemon juice in your hair and go out in the sun for a bit and it should lighten. It did for mine.
They sell a product called ';Sun-In';


You just spray some on your hair

%26amp; your hair should get lighter.
Use henna its a natraul dye that you can use right at home its powdery but just add water. There is no hair damage what so ever.
Chamomile or lemon juice in the sun, but careful because lemon juice can dry out your hair if you use it too often
