Honey Hues: How to lighten your locks – without bleach or dye
There’s nothing like rocking a new hairstyle and colour, but if you have been bleaching, dyeing or highlighting your hair so regularly for the past few years (to the point you can’t even recall your natural hair colour), you might want to give your tresses a break. With the holidays coming and that beach vacation pending, we understand you might want to get your hair lighter and ready for the occasion – but hear us out before you schedule that hair appointment.
The good news is you can get highlights, go a shade or two lighter, and even experiment with an ombré look – all without the bleach! With great gradual hair lightening products in the market, like the new John Frieda Brilliant Brunette range, and good old age-tested natural lighteners like lemon and chamomile, there is no reason for you to bust out that bleach or dye. And yes, these hair lighteners works for our dark-haired brunettes too.
So before you head to the beauty store aisle for that peroxide dye or schedule an appointment with your hairdresser, consider taking a different approach to going light. We have picked our top 5 favourite, quick and easy trusted ways to go lighter – sans any bleaching or dyeing. Head up to our gallery above to find out what products you will need! We are confident your tresses will thank you.
