李子汁染发秘诀风靡网络 TikTok红人分享自然染发hack
最近，TikTok用户安娜斯塔西娅·弗拉科娃（Anastasia Vlakhova）分享了一条使用李子汁染发的视频，该视频已获得2000多万次点击。弗拉科娃表示，她过去15年一直使用这个方法来省去沙龙染发的费用。她说，当她10岁时，祖母告诉她可以用李子汁染发，出于好奇，她立即尝试并成功了。
在视频中，弗拉科娃说，这个hack需要将李子汁与水混合后涂抹到头发上，在阳光下晒至少1小时。接着，她用温和的洗发精、护发素、面膜或头皮油来清洁和护理头发。
专家：利弊兼有
一位来自盐湖城（Salt Lake City）的专业毛发学专家蒂芙尼·杨（Tiffany Young）表示，这个TikTok hack有利有弊。她说，使用李子汁可以使发色变得更浅，尤其适合初学者。但与之相比，它可能会使头发更干燥，并带走头发的重要营养素。
杨还指出，这个hack对深色或波状发可能不太有效，而且不能准确预测最终的发色变化。

The lemon juice hair hack on social media has people squeezing fresh lemon juice into their hair to obtain a “natural” highlight. Anastasia Vlakhova is a 26-year-old Bulgarian beauty enthusiast who shares life hacks on TikTok — and one of them is this lemon juice trend. COTTAGE CHEESE BAKING HACK BLOWS UP ON TIKTOK: ‘BEST IDEA I’VE EVER SEEN’ She told Fox News Digital that she’s been using this hack to save money at the hair salon for over 15 years now. “When I was 10, my granny told me I could use lemon to lighten my hair,” she said. “As a curious kid, I tried it right away and was amazed that it worked.” The TikTok creator, who has over two million views on her lemon juice hair video, said she has never had her hair professionally bleached. Instead, she merely uses the lemon juice hack.

Vlakhova said anyone looking to highlight their hair naturally with lemon juice needs to have a lemon, a tablespoon of water and a few drops of conditioner for a less acidic mix. “I pick small sections of my hair that I want to lighten, cover them with the lemon mix and sit in the sun for at least an hour,” she said.

EXPERT WEIGHS IN ON VIRAL SLEEP TREND After spending time in the sun, Vlakhova said she then washes her hair with gentle shampoo and other hair care products like conditioners, a mask or hair oil. She added, “This step is essential to prevent damaging your hair.” Vlakhova added that she’s never noticed hair damage caused by the lemon juice but did say that if people’s hair is already damaged or if they have darker or wavy hair, the results could be skewed. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Tiffany Young, a certified trichologist and CEO of Thin Hair Thick, a hair topper company in Salt Lake City, Utah, said there are pros and cons to this viral social media hack. One of the pros, she said, is that it could help lighten hair in a more efficient way for someone new to the coloring process. “Lemon juice has less potential to overprocess or fry the hair when compared to hair bleach, since it a natural derivative,” she said. She added, “It takes longer to lighten the hair, and this slow process is generally more forgiving when someone is new to coloring hair.” For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews/lifestyle Young said one of the issues with this hack is the dryness the lemon juice can leave on your hair. “Lemon juice, when combined with the heat of the sun or a blow-dryer, has the potential to dry out the hair, leaving it frizzy and stripping the hair of beneficial oils,” she said. She continued, “It is not effective at lightening darker hair color and certainly won’t lift the hair to a predictable shade.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Vlakhova also noted that anyone attempting this highlight hack should be cautious of leftover lemon juice on the skin before sitting in the sun. “Citric acid combined with sun exposure can cause skin burns,” she cautioned. Doctors and other medical experts, of course, always recommend protecting the skin with appropriate sunblock before going out in the sun.
