DIY Chamomile Hair Lightening Mist

Are you looking for a natural way to add some sun-kissed highlights to your hair without harsh chemicals? Chamomile is a fantastic herb that not only has soothing properties for the skin but can also naturally lighten your hair over time. In this post, we'll show you how to make a simple and effective DIY chamomile hair lightening mist that can help enhance your natural hair color, brighten your strands, and promote healthy hair.

Why Chamomile?

Chamomile isn't just great for relaxing teas – it’s a secret weapon for natural hair lightening. Chamomile contains flavonoids like apigenin, which can lighten the hair in a subtle way when exposed to sunlight. This makes it a perfect, gentle alternative to bleach or other chemical lightening treatments. Over time, chamomile can gradually lighten the hair, creating soft, golden highlights that look completely natural.

What You'll Need

• Dried Chamomile - 1 deciliter

• Filtered Water 3 deciliters

• Fresh Lemon Juice - 1 deciliter

• A Spray Bottle

• A small saucepan

Instructions

1. Brew Chamomile Tea: Start by boiling 3 deciliters of water with the chamomile. Let simmer for 15 min. The longer you let the tea sit, the more concentrated the lightening effects will be.

2. Cool Down: Allow the chamomile tea to cool completely. This is important because applying hot liquids to your hair can damage it.

3. Add lemon juice: Squeeze a couple of lemons and add to your spray bottle. Lemon juice is a natural acid that, when combined with the sun, can help speed up the lightening process.

4. Transfer to Spray Bottle: Once your chamomile tea is cooled, pour the mixture into a spray bottle through a strainer. A spray bottle makes it easier to apply the solution evenly to your hair.

5. Application: Shake the spray bottle to ensure the ingredients are well mixed. Spray the chamomile mist onto damp hair, focusing on the areas you want to lighten. For best results, apply it generously to the lengths and ends of your hair. If you want a more intense lightening effect, focus on specific sections, like the tips or highlights of your hair.

6. Dry and Soak Up the Sun: After applying the mist, let your hair air dry. The key to chamomile’s lightening power is sunlight. So, if possible, head outside and let the natural UV rays activate the chamomile. The longer you stay in the sun, the more effective the process will be. However, be mindful of how much sun exposure your hair and skin can handle.

7. Storage: This mix can be kept for up to 2 week if kept in the refrigerator.

Tips for Best Results

• Be Consistent: Chamomile is a natural lightener, so results won’t be immediate. You may need to repeat this process several times over the course of a few weeks to see noticeable changes.

• Use on Blonde or Light Brown Hair: Chamomile is most effective on blonde or light brown hair. If you have dark hair, the effects might be more subtle.

• Protect Your Skin: When using chamomile mist in the sun, be sure to protect your skin with sunscreen. The sun's UV rays can be harsh on your skin, and you don’t want to end up with a sunburn while trying to lighten your hair.

• Moisturize: To keep your hair soft and healthy, make sure to condition your hair regularly, especially if you’re using sun exposure frequently.
