I have tried honey, but now I am curious about using chamomile tea for lightening my hair. Has anyone tried it? How many times do you have to use it before you see results?

From what I've read here, chammomile doesnt' lighten hair but ads golden tones to your actual color. I haven't tried it because of my dark brown hair being inmune to amost any color change attempt, and I prefer red tones over golden.
Be careful if you try it though, it sounds like it might dry your hair a bit.

I did it for a while, mostly because I wanted to bring out the golden undertones in my hair a bit more.

Did it work? Possibly.
I did it last summer and it is hard to tell how effective it was as my hair always looks a lot more golden in sunlight which there was a lot of last summer! I gave up after a couple of months though because it made the hair washing process take so long. I applied it after shampooing and let it sit under a showercap for about 15 mins before conditioning and rinsing my hair with cool water. Doing it this way stopped my hair getting dried out

Chamomile is more for golden tones than lightening, yes; but it's actually good for hair, not drying, as far as I know.
