Benefits of Lemon Juice for Hair
Even on your hair, lemon is very beneficial when applied mainly in liquid form. Lemon juice can be used to:
- Coloring hair naturally, especially lighter hair color
- Make hair shine more
- Reduces oil and dandruff
Rubbing and massaging lemon juice on your head can improve blood circulation to stimulate hair growth. Not only that, if you leave lemon juice on the scalp for 10 minutes after washing the hair, it can reduce dandruff and make your hair shine more.
Can Lemon Juice Damage Hair?
Fresh lemon juice will not dry out or damage your hair. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight can damage the outer hair, called cuticles. For this reason, you need to limit the amount of time you spend in the sun after applying lemon juice to the hair.
Try sitting in the sun until lemon juice is dry, not more than an hour – then rinse and apply conditioner on the hair. You can also try adding a teaspoon of oil to the lemon juice solution for extra protection, as well as fragrance.
