To squeezea bit of lemon ôver my dds hair to highlight it

[Whiteandbrownrabbit]

It's a dark blonde almost light brown

You could try chamomile tea, that lightens it slightly as well

Does she want it lighter or do you want her hair to go blonde? How old I as she? Abu to impose your choice on her.

Interesting Maid. I've been using that John Frieda shampoo daily for about 3 years without any conditioner at all and my hair and scalp are in great condition. Strange how these products suit us all differently.

I can't say it makes that much difference though. My hair is fairly light blonde naturally and it maybe lifts it a bit, but not as much as a couple of days in the sun does.

I've been wondering about the spray honeycrest but a bit scared it will be just like SunIn....

Yabu not Abu. Bloody autocorrect!

How old is she OP?
I agree that lemon juice does very little to lighten. If she's at an age where she can consent to it (which I would hope so?!) then you could take her to a salon. When I worked in a salon we coloured a few younger girls hair (ages about 13), with a type of lightening tint. So it's not as harsh as bleach, but obviously only lifts it's a shade or 2. Most salon brands will have something like that in their colour range.

Still here OP?

Oh and I'll add that of course not all salons would do this. We worked in a local village salon and did know of the girls and their families, and obviously only did it with written consent of their parent/guardian etc, and they were there with them for the appointment too.

I'm guessing its a baby who already has her ears pierced and wears as stupid headband with a gaudy flower on it.

What's wrong with her natural colour?

Lordy I had a nasty shock then as saw MrsCampbellBlank and knew I hadn't written that.

OP - it really does very much depend on the age of your DD. I used to do lemon juice mixed with vodka when in my early 20's. Not sure it worked but it was very attractive to wasps.

DD (10) has done this. I also did it as a teenager. It's just a bit of fun. The combination of lemon juice + sunshine lightened her hair a bit, but the main (mane?) attraction was squeezing the lemons and rubbing the juice in, then sitting out in the sun while the lemon juice worked its magic. A Harmless and fun way of passing the time on a sunny day in the school holidays. Would only recommend it for older children though, who can avoid getting the juice in their eyes.

Gosh very similar names MrsBlack

I know Chesty. Am sure mn should do an etiquette guide for such situations

MrsBlack

I saw that and thought "blimey, she doesn't usually post like that" then realised it wasn't you.

Good idea OP would probably avoid sun cream too if your away or people might not think she's been on holiday

OP is dead. Move along people.

Both my daughter and I have sun responsive blonde hair eg if the sun is hot our hair lightens, however if the sun is strong, then I plonk a hat on my daughters head. I would rather her be ok than have blonde hair and sunstroke, saying that it always gets lighter even with the hat in sunny months. As a teen I used to put lemon juice in my hair so it would got white white blonde - it just went crispy. So, don't do it, her hair will lighten naturally and if you do bleach it - it will grow out and make her look like she has roots. I am in sunny hot climbes at the moment - my hair is very blonde but will grow out in a couple of months and I will look like I dye my hair!!! Let nature do it's thing - she is only young (I am assuming)

Of course YANBU, who wants brown hair?

Are you talking about your 16 month old, OP?

Pointless thread unless we know her age op.

High fives to Discounted's scalp, a far more robust specimen than mine

Won't putting honey in your hair attract bees?

I like bees. But not in my hair...

Covered in BEEEES....

I thought 'Oh MrsCampbellBlack sounds out of sorts tonight'.
