Summer is here and the bright sun is perking up our days. But if your dull lifeless hair needs a bit of its own perking up, try a little DIY at home instead of dropping big bucks for blonde highlights from a salon. Here’s an easy way to add a little summer flair to your hair:

Combine 1 cup of lemon juice with 3 cups of brewed (and cooled) chamomile tea. Pour the solution over damp hair, then head outdoors. Sit in the sun for an hour or so, rinse thoroughly, and follow up with a good conditioner. Repeat the process until your hair helps you answer the age-old question: “Do blondes have more fun?”

And if swimming in a chlorinated pool this summer has given your blonde hair a greenish tinge, pour yourself a glass of red wine. Don’t drink it, though—pour it on your head! Work it through the strands, follow up with your normal shampoo, and that’ll be the end of the green-hair blues!
