Most of us prefer lighter hair in summer. Lighter and shiny hair goes perfectly with sun-tanned skin. You already imagine yourself with lighter hair, right? But you don’t want to damage your hair, and you are afraid of drastic change, and you are not sure how would it look on you?
Well, first try these natural ways to lighten your hair. After two or three uses, you will see little change, and step by step, you can decide if you like it or not, so you get your natural hair color back after few washes if you want to.
But if you like it, then use these methods often (every day or every second day) and after 10 to 15 uses you will get your new look, with home natural recipes and on such inexpensive ways, instead of going in a beauty salon and spend a lot of money.

Baking soda is also a natural alternative to chemical-filled shampoos that also lightens hair color. When you go to shower, sprinkle your hair with baking soda and give it a good rub-down. The paste that develops should bleach your hair naturally.
