No, you don't have to sit in the sun with it. However, if you are going to be outdoors and you want to speed up the action, you can squeeze fresh lemons into the mix. I did this years ago, and after a whole day at the beach or in a park, my natural highlights were much lighter. Haven't done that in years though. I've been fighting my sandy hair each winter - trying to figure out how to darken it naturally. This year, however, I'm gonna roll with with what God gave me
WARNING: If you have dry hair, don't use much lemon juice - it will turn your hair to straw. If your hair is normal/oily, you can use more. Just be sure to DC before and after a natural bleach job.
This.
And if you use lemon juice, wash it out after you get the desired color; don't just don't leave it in until wash day. It will make your hair dry as a desert, but it works FWIW.
