                      I used to use lemon juice with no problem - my hair naturally gets blond highlights in the sunshine, though.  It will lighten your hair if you rinse with it or spray it in.  I have a friend who would apply it in streaks with cotton balls and her hair did get neat lighter streaks too.  I believe the more lemon you use, the lighter will become over time.  I only used it at the beginning of summer, though, because my hair would lighten on its own the more I was outside.  I started dying my hair a lighter red shade last year, so I'm not going to use the lemon until I see what happens naturally in the sun.  I'm worried it will turn orange - wouldn't that be something! LOL!  So far, my hair is just turning blonder, though - like a strawberry blonde.  My hair is like a mood ring - constantly changing depending upon its own mood!  LOL!  Good luck, though Susie - I'll be interested to see what the other farmgirls have to share!  :)  - Nini
