Answer #1

Lemon juice will be fine, just stay in the sunlight with it in. Make sure you keep track of the colour because it could definitely turn obscenely bright..

Answer #2

Lemon juice works, its a slow process. You can try a blow dryer to speed up the process.

I add a generous splash of vodka to increase the process. sometimes, if I get REALLY impatient, I give in and buy sun-in. I always ask myself what posessed me to do that when I finish, but my hair is something atrocious right now. I was blonde, had it professionally colored with DEMI (dont EVER get tricked into that one) had to retouch myself, the color turned more orange than before and I am now about to try every lemon/vodka/olive oil technique I can find
