Meh. You type the language better than far too many that grow up, theoretically, speaking it. No worries!

Yes, it does...when I was in high school, many, many years ago, we used to use concentrated lemon juice to get blond highlights...and if we wanted to tame our hair, the lemon juice did a good job. I don't remember it ever "damaging" my hair...just changed the texture.

It does, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone with very dark hair; you may not like the results. It's good for people with medium-blonde to light-brown hair; hair any darker than that would turn a bronze or copper color.
I used a product called Sun-In, where you spray it in your hair and go out in the sun to lighten it. I knew a woman who had dark-brown hair, but the sun (without Sun-In) would bleach it a beautiful auburn color. But that's probably not what you're going for.
Try Sun-In at your own risk. Or make your own; it's really not much more than water, lemon juice, and hydrogen peroxide.
Good luck!!!
