Did your hair feel dried from it? I think I may try this for the summer but I'm scared about the drying effect of lemon. I figured if I used honey which people say is acidic enough to lighten with the lemon that may combat that.
Wow!!! Thank you all for your sweet comments, people You are all so kind and encouraging. I need to warn those experimenting: I had somewhat trouble to comb my hair after a day, which I usually like to do... the ends were a bit stuck to each other.. (?) Anyway after a couple of days it went away; I might try a more diluted rinse and see if it will keep the good effects and maybe more combable hair.
No, I wouldn't say dry, but a bit stiff and stuck to each other - just a bit to be annoying...
But the length was silky as it never was! that was surprising. Maybe my ends have some damage so they react differently on the rinse.
Oh my! Thank you so much for posting this! We seem to have a very similar hairtype, so I'm really hoping if I try it that my curls will look as gorgeous as yours do. Beautiful!
I can't see your pics yet inty as I'm a newbie but I've tried the lemon rinse too and it has amazing results, really shiny and curly! I also had that my hair was a bit stiff or crunchy at the ends, but I thought maybe I'd just put too much lemon juice.
I did notice I get the best results if I don't do anything to my hair after rinsing it: just squeeze it gently, no towel-drying or anything. Do you have that too?
Your hair looks gorgeous! Im going to give it a try too. I remember years ago using lemon juice to lighten my hair, worked pretty well then but dried it out so needed loads of conditioner but that was sitting out in the sun and not just used as a rinse so shouldn't heve the same effect!
