We can't be alone in our collective history of Sun-In horror stories, (orange, so much orange). But while lemon juice has long since been touted as the better, at-home, all-natural alternative, it too has caveat of its own: used in excess and high concentration, it can really dry out your strands (blame the acidity). Fortunately, we put together a little cocktail that will still help summon the highlights you crave ....

Ingredients

• 3 large lemons 
• 2 bags of chamomile tea
• 1 tsp of ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp almond oil or coconut oil
• an empty spray bottle

Method

Step 1: Boil about 1 cup of water and add the tea bags. Set aside to steep for a few minutes.


Step 2: Squeeze those lemons. You should get about 1/3 of juice. Add to the spray bottle, straining out any errant seeds.


Step 3: Measure out the cinnamon and almond oil and add to the spray bottle, along with the brewed tea (sans tea bags, of course). Seal the bottle shut, and shake it like a Polaroid picture.



Step 4: Spray the areas of your hair you'd like to lighten. (We wanted our blonde tips a little bit blonder). Then, take this excuse to bask in the sunlight (with sunscreen, please!)-the rays will lighten your strands up.
