is it good to apply lemon on hair - #23735
I am really curious about whether is it good to apply lemon on hair. Lately, I've been struggling with oily scalp and dandruff, and my friend suggested trying lemon juice. At first, I wasn't sure, but after reading a bit online, I thought maybe it could help balance things out. I mean, I’ve heard about the benefits of lemon for skin, but is it good to apply lemon on hair too? Last week, I tried mixing some lemon with coconut oil, and honestly, it felt refreshing initially, but then my scalp started to feel really itchy after a few hours. Was that normal? I thought lemon was supposed to be good for clarity, but now I'm doubting if is it good to apply lemon on hair. Plus, I've been worried about my hair getting dry or damaged from the acidity. Should I dilute it more with water, or is that not necessary? Any personal experiences or advice would be super helpful because I really want to know if is it good to apply lemon on hair, or if I should ditch this idea altogether. Thanks a bunch!
