How to Add Natural Highlights to Your Hair
By Della Upsher

Why spend the big bucks to lighten your hair with harsh and unnatural looking dyes and chemicals when you can highlight your hair naturally at home for a fraction of the cost? If you've always wanted to try out a lightened 'do, try these at-home treatments and add some kick to your style. A great way to lighten up your hair is a with a chamomile tea treatment. Steep one bag of the tea in a cup of boiling water and let it cool. Rinse your hair with the tea mixture, and repeat the process every day for a week.

You can also simmer a half a cup of chopped rhubarb in saucepan of boiling water, and use it as a rinse. Strain out the rhubarb and let the water cool. Add it the water to your hair and rinse it out. Repeat this process for one week. If you're a blonde, add one third of a cup of fresh marigold blossoms to a saucepan of boiling water and allow the mixture to simmer. Once it has cooled, strain out the flowers and rinse the water through your hair. Try to do it over a small tub or basin, as you'll want to repeat this process a few times in a row. If you want faster results, boil some chamomile tea and add a tablespoon of lemon juice.

Pour the mixture into a spray bottle, and spray it on your hair when you go sunbathing. If you're a redhead who wants to lighten up, boil up a cup of hibiscus tea and add a tablespoon of red beat juice. Pour it into a spray bottle, and spray it on in the sun. For brunettes, rinse your hair out with cooled coffee or black tea to help bring out the highlights. And always stay in the sun - it'll do its best work for you!
