hi everyone welcome back to my channel
and in today's video as you can tell by
the title it is going to be how to
lighten and brighten your hair without
bleach or high-lift colors or basically
without chemicals this is how to lighten
your hair with basic products that most
of you will probably have in your house
or kitchen right now all right now I do
have to say this isn't for someone that
say is brunette and you're going to get
this blonde like that that you can't do
naturally with the botannical and
natural products it's just it's not
gonna happen so obviously you'd be the
judge of how much lightness you really
want to bring to your hair but I'm gonna
start with the one that will give you
the least so this is basically if you
just kind of want a little bit of
shimmer to your hair and that is with
lemon and I know that I've touched on
this and done a chelating video in the
past and chelating is amazing I
definitely recommend lemon juice lemon
juice has been known to clarify and
brighten everything basically it will
brighten your nails you know people that
have been coloring their nails for a
very long time and their nails start to
look yellow robbing them with a little
bit of a lemon juice will absolutely
brighten and whiten your nails in just
the same way it will do so with your
hair so a great way to do it is really
to just spritz the lemon on wet hair
kind of live rub it through let it sit
for about five minutes then rinse and
shampoo your hair and condition as
normal or another way which I used to do
this religiously in high school and I
think that that is why my ends were so
light and naturally and I have a video
on my basically hair story I will link
that below if you haven't seen that yet
but basically I would do this
religiously in high school and I think
that my hair never looked brassy what I
would recommend is doing 1/2 a cup of
lemon juice in a spray bottle and then a
half a cup of water so it's just
slightly diluted you can keep that in
your shower for a couple of days and so
what I like to do was after I shampooed
my hair I would spritz this in the hair
let it sit for about five minutes then I
would rinse that out and follow with
really really hydrating mask
this definitely isn't bad for the hair I
think we're always known to think that
lemon is very acidic and it is but once
it comes in contact with the human body
actually becomes alkaline and so I may
actually restore the pH balance in your
hair and leaving your hair with
incredible luster and shine also a
little scientist in case you don't have
lemons or don't want to use lemons you
can definitely use apple cider vinegar I
personally like the smell of the lemon
water better but do know that using
apple cider vinegar it will not leave
any smell on your hair at all in fact it
actually neutralizes odors little side a
tip as well while doing laundry if you
do have say like beach towels or
something that's kind of been sitting
for a few days when you throw them in
the washer throw in about a half cup or
a cup of vinegar and your towels will
come out so fluffy and smelling so good
in cosmetology school we're always told
to treat our hair like a fiber like a
very fine fiber basically like cashmere
number two is chamomile and this is one
of the other steps that I would do in
high school so in combination with the
lemon water
I would also brew like chamomile tea and
you can use a couple of teabags I'll
just make about like two cups of tea
with like two or three teabags you want
the tea to be pretty strong so you could
either add the lemon just straight to
that mixture or you can do the chamomile
alone I think for better results I would
definitely mix of those two and the
trick for these two is not waiting until
you have orangie brassy hair and
expecting these tips necessarily to like
get you out of it but by doing these
tips that will definitely prevent you
from getting brassy in the future so
just like the lemon water you would keep
that in your shower and just spritz on
the hair and again you can keep this for
a couple of days in your shower
sometimes what I like to do too is if I
know that I'm about to shower I would
just spritz the hair with that and
saturate it pretty well and just leave
it on for you know good 5-10 minutes
then jump in the shower rinse it off and
then follow with shampoo and conditioner
and I think this is a really good
combination because the chamomile oh is
almost like soothing where's the lemon
can be a little bit more astringent so
those two combined are great alright so
number three is baking
soda and if you like by now people know
too that baking soda can be used for
cleaning for brightening it is very
non-toxic it also has a no smell people
use it to brighten their teeth so an
amazing way is to just bring some in the
shower just simply placing some in the
palm of your hand getting your hand wet
and just almost creating a paste you can
start applying it to like the ends of
your hair and massaging it as you come
up higher closer to the scalp and then
again leaving it on the hair for just a
couple of minutes they look absolutely
like Brighton your blonde and actually
leave it feeling really nice and again
you can use this in place of shampoo or
you can follow with your favorite
shampoo and conditioner any time I do
one of these like more natural products
I always like to follow with a really
hydrating mask I personally love the
deep conditioning mask by Monat I think
it delivers the most intensive hydration
without leaving the hair heavy which is
so important to me because right after
you've basically really cleansed and
clarified the hair you want something
that is going to balance the moisture
back into the hair but you also don't
want to add a ton of gunk both to your
scalp and to the rest of your hair
because that was just completely defeat
what you had just done to your hair but
of course you can follow with any mask
or favorite conditioner you have at home
now for number four and this is the one
that's going to deliver the most results
and that is hydrogen peroxide one of the
best ways to add it to the hair is to
put it in a dark little spray bottle and
just spray it all over the hair another
way to do it is to just grab a cotton
ball soaked it and then you can rub it
especially if you want it in specific
area say if you have highlights and you
kind of just want to brighten that area
adding hydrogen peroxide to the hair
even dark hair will lighten it you do
have to be careful though because it is
basically the most mildest bleach you
could basically do on the hair so it
will brighten dark hair but you do have
to be careful because your brown hair
could start to look reddish or a little
bit brassy and that's just because any
time that you bleach or your remove
pigment from brown hair you are going to
expose the underlying colors and brown
and one of the main colors and brown
hair is red so say if you have a
balayage or you have highlights
basically if you have kind of a more
contrasting color I would definitely
avoid putting the hydrogen peroxide on
your darker pieces but now if you do
have a darker brown hair or virgin hair
and you do want to kind of lighten up
the ends a bit spraying on a little bit
of hydrogen peroxide and sitting out in
the Sun it's basically I'm sure you guys
have all heard of like Sun Inn products
this is basically like the main
ingredient that is kind of getting you
to that lighter hair it's actually an
antiseptic so there's like a product
that is super safe on the body on the
skin and on the hair so again it can
also be used to brighten your teeth I
used to be addicted to like teeth
whitening strips and teeth whitening
anything and I think I did it so much
that that I did end up ruining a lot of
the enamel in my teeth and I know that I
just had to like kind of step back a
little bit from that the people often
still ask me like what do you use to
keep your teeth white and honestly
that's what I use so obviously brushing
twice a day but then after I brush my
teeth I just apply it a little bit of
hydrogen peroxide to my tooth brush and
just brush for like an extra two minutes
and I promise you see results right away
and basically what it's doing it's not
likely in deep in your teeth and like
actually whitening them but it is
removing surface stains and if this is
something that you're doing on a daily
basis it really does remove kind of that
build-up just from that day and then
really maintains your teeth to be really
really nice and way and again you can
use a combination of all of these things
of course I wouldn't do them all in the
same day and I did do this last week on
my hair and the next day all my clients
were like oh my god like would you do to
your hair now it's like all it was was
ingredients that I had in my own kitchen
and that is it guys so I know that a lot
of you around this time of year are
thinking of lightening and brightening
your hair so I figured this would be at
least an amazing way to get started and
who knows you might just get to the
blonde that you have been wanting to go
to just by using these simple household
items so yeah I hope this video helps
thank you guys so much for watching and
I'll see
