  1. Whether you are a natural blonde or if you are “blonded by science” like me, there is a DIY hair treatment you can give yourself to make your yellow tresses softer, brighter and shinier. Instead of depending on store-bought products, loaded with chemicals and unhealthy substances, you can easily condition your hair with natural food products and it is fun (and creative) to make your own conditioner.

You will need one lemon, one-half cup chamomile tea Chamomile-Teaand one raw potato at room temperature. Here are the steps involved:

  1. Squeeze the juice from the lemon.
  2. Grate the potato and blend with the lemon to form a paste.
  3. Add the chamomile tea and stir.
  4. Shampoo, then spread the mask throughout your hair, massaging lightly.
  5. Cover your head with a PVC-free shower cap or plastic wrap, then lightly heat with a hair dryer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Rinse, then style as usual.

The chamomile and lemon act as whitening agents, and the acidic lemon juice allows potato enzymes, which help to brighten blonde hair, to break through the tough, keratin outer layer of the hair.   You will love the results – stunning!
