How to lighten your hair for summer. Part II

Today I'm going to explain three different ways to lighten your hair with products that you can find at home and that will not damage your hair as much as dying it will. If your hair is not naturally blonde or light brown, they may leave your hair with some orange tones after the first uses, which can be easily fixed using a toner shampoo.

The first trick is to use lemons. Lemons have very good lighting effects, but they can be a little harsh on the cuticles of the hair and can dry it. So a good trick is to mix the juice of a lemon with water. The amount of each will be, a part of lemon juice for three parts of water. After doing this, just put the mixture in a spray bottle and spread it all over your hair. For best results let your hair dry under the sun but if it's cloudy that day or you don't have time you can dry it with a hair dryer and the heat will help the process.

The second one is going to be camomile tea. This remedy is better if you want a more subtle, gradual and soft lighting effect. You just have to make tea out of camomile, let it cool so that you don't burn your scalp, and apply it. I find there's two ways of doing this. The first one will be exactly like we did in the first trick. Just pour the tea in a spray bottle and spread it all over your hair before going in to the sun. But, if you can't be standing in the sun until it is dry I would recommend making a rinse out of this tea after you shampoo and condition your hair in the shower (and not rinsing it off afterwards).


Finally, we have honey. Honey is very nourishing and softening on the hair, and it will act both as a lightener and as a hair mask. The best way to use it is by spreading on to wet hair. Also, for it to make its best performance and lighten your hair as much as it can, you will need some kind of heat. You can either put it on for an hour or so while you take a hot bath, or put it on, dry it with the blow dryer and then putting a plastic bag all over your head to lock the heat in.

Hope these tricks help!!

How to lighten your hair for summer. Part I

Summer's here and a lot of us want to have that sun kissed hair look with beautiful blonde highlights. Although it's easily achievable by going to the salon, some prefer to get the same effect following more natural ways and more gradually. If you are one of those people, this entry and the two other parts that will follow, are for you.
The first part to hair routine is shampoo so that's where I'm going to start.

This is the shampoo I use to lighten my hair. Is by the brand Kéranove, which can be found in supermarkets here in Spain but if you don't have it in your country it's also sold in ebay. 

It is a chamomile shampoo so you won't notice a huge difference in one use, but will give you beautiful and very natural looking highlights.

There are two ways to use it:

First you can use it as a regular shampoo, every time you wash your hair. You put it on and rub it, wash it off and repeat the process. The only difference is that the second time you put it on, I recommend to leave it on for a couple of minutes while you wash your body.

The second way to use it will lighten your hair a little bit faster but you need to have 15 minutes, so you shouldn't do it if you're in a hurry. As I said, 15 minutes before hopping into the shower you could apply the product into dry hair (it's important for your hair to be dry as it won'y work as well in wet hair), comb it so that it's evenly spread and put it up. After that time you can start you shower rinsing off the shampoo and wash your hair as you would normally.

A trick that works for me is, after achieving the blond color you want your hair to have, use this product once or twice a month only applying it to dry hair only in the roots. This way, as your hair grows, the chamomile will lighten and even it with the rest of your hair.

Now that I have a blog, what will I write about?

So I was wanting to start writing a blog a long time ago but I was afraid that I didn't have any ideas of what to write about. After a lot of thinking (lie, I just did it on an impulse) I decided that I would write about anything I was passionate about, I was enjoying or just anything I feel like writing about.
As the title of the blog may suggest I love beauty and I love bunnies. I also like fashion, food, reading and music so these are the things you will find in here.
Also, I have a bunny called Lennon and he's so crazy that he makes me really happy. I will post stories about him too to try and spread the happiness all around the world.
Stay happy and good luck!
