1. Wash your hair with Dawn dish soap
Wash your hair as you usually would, but use Dawn dish soap instead of your regular shampoo!
2. Apply lemon
Cut your lemon in half and then squeeze the juice onto your hair.
Your hair won’t feel nice during this stage, but stick with it!
Leave the juice to sit for a couple of minutes then rinse it all out.
3. Apply a toner/purple conditioner (optional)
Yana then applied a purple conditioner to her hair and let it sit only for a short amount of time to avoid her hair turning purple!
4. Apply a deep conditioner
Next, apply a deep conditioner or mask to your hair and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing.

Dawn is actually so mild that vets recommend it for horses/animals with skin problems, because if you dont get it all rinsed off, it will not irritate. We have used it for years.
I wash my hair every other day with Meyer's dish soap. If I don't use Meyer's, then I need to wash it every day - it's very oily. Meyer's keeps it looking clean for 2 days. If I use a conditioner, more oily hair! Too many weird additives in hair products. Meyer's gets a 👍.
