Lemon Juice or Kool-Aide

[pink lush]

Im desperate. I'm allergic to a product found in most hair dyes. My hair is currently black and I want to lighten up.

My question is has anyone ever put lemon juice on thir hair and sit out in the sun to get highlights or a lighter color?

OR has anyone use kool-aide to dye their hair? Ive never tried either but I know some girls that used these methods back in highschool.

Im also wondering, do they cause any damage to your hair?

Citrus can be very drying for the hair. I used a milk treatment once with limes in it and my hair came out a dry brittle mess. Heres a link to a thread about the koolaid:

OKay yall, don't laugh at me, but I used to use cool-aid as a rinse. It actually worked well. I think I used cherry or berry to give me a nice deep red. It looked great and got lots of compliments. THe only thing is that it is a little messy when putting it in the hair. Other than that, worked like a charm. It seemed more like it stained the hair as opposed to coating it like some semi's do.
