I recently colored my hair and it barely lightened. I don't want to spend more money on color so I thought I might try this method.

Has it worked for you?

If it has, what mixture and timing and such did you use?

    It works for me, but I wouldn't suggest using it on color-treated hair. It will most likely end up looking brassy.

    peroxide works too

    you can always get toner if it looks brassy.

    Have you ever tried John Frieda Sheer Blonde Color Renew? It really brings out the blonde in your hair.

    Use pure lemon juice it definetely lightens! But if you use too much at one time or stop using your hair will have a horrible color line :( have you tried Sun In? it works! Just spray and go!
