Beehive,

I confess, I did it too. My mother started it though when I was little. She loved to bleach her hair and I guess she thought it was a way to lighten mine safely. Truth is, while lemon juice is nature's own bleach, it IS juice which is acidic and drying. Since the lemon juice needed the sun to work and the sun is also drying, between the two of them, the whole process is not good for your hair. As we both found out.
