Natural Hair Highlights: DIY Lemon Juice Method and Important Safety Tips

Natural Hair Highlights: Lemon Juice Method and Cautions In a recent social media video, beauty influencer Tessa Peay (@tessapeay) shared her method for achieving natural-looking hair highlights using lemon juice. Peay's technique involves mixing freshly squeezed lemon juice with a leave-in conditioner, applying it to the hair, and then exposing the hair to sunlight. While the method is presented as a natural alternative to chemical treatments, Peay emphasizes the importance of caution. "Lemon juice isn't as damaging as bleach, but it can still cause some damage to the hair cuticle," she warns in the video. The video also shows a picture of hair that turned orange after using this method. Peay recommends using bonding treatments to help repair the hair's cuticle after each session. The results, as shown in the video, are subtle, suggesting that multiple sessions are needed to achieve noticeable highlights. Peay's video has garnered significant attention online, highlighting the continued interest in natural beauty solutions and the importance of understanding the potential risks and benefits of DIY hair treatments.
