You can lighten your hair without chemicals: 5 simple safe ways

You want to change your hair color but avoid harmful chemicals. Natural ingredients that don't damage your strands can help.

Find out how to achieve beautiful golden highlights using simple products that you have in your kitchen. Honey, cinnamon, rhubarb root, chamomile, and lemon juice are not only safe but also economical ways to achieve beautiful golden highlights.

Honey

It contains the enzyme glucose oxidase, which produces hydrogen peroxide, which lightens the melanin in the hair. In addition, honey moisturizes the hair. Mix 4 parts of honey with 1 part of water. Leave the mixture for an hour. Apply to hair, cover with a shower cap, and leave for 2 hours. Rinse with warm water and shampoo.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon together with honey activates hydrogen peroxide, which creates a brightening effect. Mix 2 parts of honey with a part of cinnamon powder. Apply to the hair, avoiding the scalp. Cover with a shower cap and leave for an hour. Rinse with water.

Rhubarb root

This plant contains two natural colorants that give yellow and golden tones to hair if it is already light. The natural colorants with a lightening effect in rhubarb are chrysophanic acid and emodin. Rhubarb root is sold in powder form and can be easily added to home dyes, such as blond henna. This is a plant-based color that allows you to add golden blonde shades to light hair.

Chamomile

Thanks to the flavonoid apigenin, it helps to lighten hair and add golden tones. Brew 6 chamomile tea bags in two cups of hot water. Once cooled, use the infusion as a rinse after shampooing or spray it on your hair daily before styling.

Lemon juice

Citric acid lightens hair tone. Mix the juice of 4 lemons with 60 ml of warm water. Spray on your hair, avoiding direct sunlight after application to avoid damaging your hair.

Thanks to these natural remedies, you can lighten your hair without resorting to chemical dyes.
