Lemon rinse success! (pic)

Your hair looks beautiful after the lemon rinse!

The curls are perfect and I don't see frizz anywhere.

Did your hair feel dried from it? I think I may try this for the summer but I'm scared about the drying effect of lemon. I figured if I used honey which people say is acidic enough to lighten with the lemon that may combat that.

Wow!!! Thank you all for your sweet comments, people

You are all so kind and encouraging. I need to warn those experimenting: I had somewhat trouble to comb my hair after a day, which I usually like to do... the ends were a bit stuck to each other.. (?) Anyway after a couple of days it went away; I might try a more diluted rinse and see if it will keep the good effects and maybe more combable hair.

Maybe one is not supposed to comb them at all...?

No, I wouldn't say dry, but a bit stiff and stuck to each other - just a bit to be annoying...
But the length was silky as it never was! that was surprising. Maybe my ends have some damage so they react differently on the rinse.

Oh my! Thank you so much for posting this! We seem to have a very similar hairtype, so I'm really hoping if I try it that my curls will look as gorgeous as yours do.

Beautiful!

When left in, won't burn the scalp when out under the sun? Since lemon + sun = burned skin?

I can't see your pics yet inty as I'm a newbie but I've tried the lemon rinse too and it has amazing results, really shiny and curly! I also had that my hair was a bit stiff or crunchy at the ends, but I thought maybe I'd just put too much lemon juice.

I did notice I get the best results if I don't do anything to my hair after rinsing it: just squeeze it gently, no towel-drying or anything. Do you have that too?

Also Lianna - I don't think so, it didn't with me, but then I live in Holland where it is currently very cold and grey, no sun to be seen anywhere!

Your hair looks gorgeous! Im going to give it a try too. I remember years ago using lemon juice to lighten my hair, worked pretty well then but dried it out so needed loads of conditioner but that was sitting out in the sun and not just used as a rinse so shouldn't heve the same effect!
