You will need:

Now take a piece of hair strands that you wish to lighten or highlight. Then put the lemon juice over it in a manner that the entire hair piece gets soaked up in the juice of lemon.
You can either use your finger to apply that or even a henna/hair color applicator will also work the best for this purpose.
Now you need to go and get some sun light. But remember to apply some sunscreen on the face and exposed body parts and relax in the sun.
You should get the sun light on the hair strands where you have applied the lemon juice for at least 30 minutes.
After that you can come back and take shower.
Shampoo the hair and scalp and don’t forget to use hair conditioner. Hair conditioner is important since lemon juice has a drying nature when applied on the hair so apply conditioner to combat the dryness. Looking for some homemade hair conditioners for dry hair check here.
