Does your hair go lighter in the sun?

I am asking because for the last 2 summers I have kept my hair out of the sun to keep it dark, it is naturally brown/dark brown and I have a thing against dying my hair.

But this summer I am going to abstain from being a control freak and let my hair in the sun so I can have some good summer memories rather then ones of me sitting in the shade like an emo.

I think I might have a tiny bit of red in my hair, so I don't know what colour it will go. I would rather it go slightly more red then blonde. I am very much not the blonde type. I love my dark hair but It is mad to wear a hood all summer.

So what natural hair colouring do you have and does it go lighter in the summer?

Thanks!

mine doesn't because i am hardcore about protecting myself from the suns damaging rays

but as a child mine and my sisters hair would always lighten up a lot through out the summer, as we got older we figured out that lemon juice sped up the process...

 

My cousin would surf practically everyday and his hair turned really light blonde (like he had highlights). It was a mid brown color.

 

yeah,
mine starts going blond...

 

mine gets super blonde naturally in the summer time. in the winter time i get a little help from a box.

 

yeah mine does it used to way more when i was more of a swimmer in the summer time. it still does though, and i've got some natural blonde highlights anyways so they just stand out more and more these days. Scott says that's why i'm so dingy sometimes is because of the blonde i've got

 

Yes, my hair always gets lighter in the summer months. It tends to get a lot of blonde through it, maybe more like a strawberry blonde. I always hate what it looks like when fall starts because it looks all crappy because of the different colors, the natural highlights fading out, which is why this past fall I dyed my hair. Now I'm wondering what to do because I prefer the natural sun kissed looked in the summer and don't want to be bothered with coloring my hair, yet don't want roots showing.

Oh, and I'm naturally auburn haired. Brown with lots of natural red tones in it.

 

my siblings did. my hair's very nearly black, no, it doesn't lighten. so i dye it red.

 

nope

 

Sort of. It did it a lot better when I was a kid, though.

 

mine does. my hairs quite dark brown as i havent seen proper sun for waaay to long, but when we used to get summers it used to always get lighter with the sun. i like it sun bleached though

ahhh sunshine.

 

yes. i'm usually blonde in the summer too so my hair ends up white.

 

Yes. Which can go one of two ways, it can be a little sun streaked and beachy,and go with sunkissed checks(which is really just roseacea but no one has to know).
- but mostly it will turn a mousy light brown color that looks extra frizzy, and makes my conplection look washed out.

 

i was under the impression that all hair got lighter with enough sunlight.

 

i spend tons of time in the sun and my hair remains dark, dark brown. gets some red tones but that's about all. it's fine with me, if i want highlights i can always go to a stylist... but fuck that

 

some just lightens up moreso than others. mine doesn't mke any discernible shift. my daughter's, however, gets very very light blonde.

 

my hair gets lighter in the shower.




I have to spend more and more time clearing the plughole.

 

yeah, mine used to fade more than it does now. i was never really sure if that was due to a change in hair, or a change in the amount of sunlight it was exposed to though.

 

bald is beautiful.

 

It use to when I was younger, now it's mostly gets lighter 'cause I'm getting older.
