Also, when mixed with water, it's a great natural highlighter for your hair. If used sparingly (I don't suggest to use this everyday), you can lighten your hair, naturally, a shade or 2 lighter during the summer.

Just get one of those cheap little spray bottles (you can find them at Sally's Beauty Supply Store or any dollar store). Squeeze the lemon juice in it and mix it with water. Spray lightly and evenly through hair. Sit out in the sun (oh, yeah, remember to wear sunscreen/sunblock first!!!) and let the sun lighten it.

BUT DON'T DO THIS EVERYDAY SINCE THE ACID IN LEMON JUICE CAN DAMAGE YOUR HAIR...
