There are simple tricks and natural ingredients that can help you get beautiful, natural highlights in your hair. Say goodbye to expensive salon treatments and try these easy tricks at home!.
1. Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is one of the most popular ways to get natural highlights. The acid in the lemon juice interacts with the sun to lighten your hair. Simply mix the juice of one lemon with a cup of water and apply the mixture to your hair.
Sit in the sun for 30-60 minutes, depending on the level of lightening you want. Rinse your hair in the shower and use a hydrating conditioner to combat the dryness caused by the lemon juice.
2. Honey
Honey is another great ingredient to achieve highlights naturally. Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture. It can help brighten and lighten hair while also conditioning and adding shine.
Mix honey with water and apply to your hair, then sit in the sun for an hour. The longer you leave it, the more noticeable the results.
3. Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea is a natural hair lightener and brightener. Make a strong cup of chamomile tea (using multiple tea bags) and let it cool. Pour the tea over your hair and sit in the sun for 30-60 minutes.
Alternatively, you can boil the tea bags in water, then let it cool and use the chamomile tea straight on your hair.
4. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a natural ingredient that can help you get highlights and a delicious scent at the same time. Mix cinnamon powder with enough water to make a paste, apply to your hair and let it sit for a few hours (or even overnight).
Wash your hair as you normally would and enjoy the subtle, warm highlights.
5. Olive Oil
Olive oil is a great natural conditioner that can also help you get highlights. Mix equal parts of olive oil and lemon juice and apply to your hair. After leaving it for a while, sit in the sun for an hour.
Rinse your hair with cool water and enjoy the beautiful, natural-looking highlights.
6. Baking Soda
Baking soda can also help get natural highlights as it acts like a mild bleach. Mix baking soda with water until you have a paste, then apply to your hair. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse it out.
Do not leave it on for too long as it can damage your hair.
7. Vinegar
Vinegar can help remove buildup and residue from your hair, which can make your hair look dull. It also has the power to lighten your hair by removing some of the natural pigments. Mix equal parts of vinegar and water and apply to your hair.
Leave it for around 30 minutes, then rinse it out. Do not use vinegar for a long period as it can damage your hair.
8. Sea Salt Spray
Sea salt spray can give you natural highlights and beachy waves. Mix one cup of warm water with 1 tablespoon of sea salt and a few drops of essential oil. Shake well and spritz the mixture all over your hair.
Scrunch your hair and let it air dry or use a diffuser. The result will be naturally highlighted hair with amazing texture.
9. Cider Vinegar Rinse
Cider vinegar rinse can help you get soft, voluminous hair with natural highlights. Mix one cup of water with 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar and apply to your hair after shampooing. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse it out.
The acid in cider vinegar will help brighten your hair, while also removing buildup.
10. Lavender Oil
Lavender oil not only has a relaxing scent but can also help you achieve highlights. Mix a few drops of lavender oil with a carrier oil, then apply to your hair. Sit in the sun for an hour, then rinse your hair with cool water.
The result will be subtle, natural-looking highlights with a delightful scent.
