I know that some of you might be worried about the bleaching
effect of the lemon. Let my start by saying that it will not mess
up anything. So please do not worry.
i know that if you squeeze lemon juice on your hair and sit in the
sun it will make it a little lighter, i guess it would depend on
what it's mixed with...
Don't lemons have a bleaching effect? You know, how people used to
stick their elbows in lemon slices to make them lighter?

Geez, won't that lemon shampoo bleach your hair a bit, or at least
lighten it? :(
