How do you lighten a dark hair color?

Answer by  Kymberee (127)

Sit in the sun! You can also rinse your hair in an acid like lemon juice. If your hair is DYED a dark color, you can do a "soap cap," which is where you rinse your head in dish soap to lighten the color.

If you're allergic to bleach, lightening your dark hair color will be tricky. All dyes are going to contain bleach of some sort you're best off using lemon juice or peroxide to lighten your hair. It's going to take time though- if you apply gradually your hair will lighten over time. You can buy Sun In for faster results.
