Walk in the Clouds Healthy Hair and Scalp Butter

Light, creamy, rich and oh so smooth.  Apply directly after a bath or before a night on the town.


lemonLemon juice can be used to naturally lighten hair.  HOWEVER, lemon juice and lemon essential oil are most effective on naturally blond to light brown hair.  Lemon juice is acidic and acts as a clarifier to bring out natural blond highlights.

For naturally dark hair, the prospects of using lemon juice to color are mixed.  Depending on your hairs' chemistry and pigmentation, attempting to color using lemon juice is ineffective given the amount of damage that can and will occur during the process as well as the time it would take to achieve the highlights.

Basically, the time it would take for lemon juice to effectively lighten naturally dark hair could take several months...and even then results aren't guaranteed but that's not the worst of it.
