Summer is just around the corner for those of us who aren’t lucky enough to reside in the ever sunny states. So sun kissed skin will be the must have. But what about streaks of blonde that are a dead giveaway for sunbathing beauties? Reese Witherspoon has got her blonde nailed down.

There are lotions and potions to score a tanned glow for your skin and hair. Some natural ways have also become popular in the green and organic movements. The key is to test any and everything you plan to put your hair through. Whether it be dyes or natural herbs always do a strand check.

If you are trying to do the natural route here is something to try. Chamomile is probably the most popular herbal hair colorant among blonds. A weekly rinse with this herb will also remedy the brown streaking that results from overexposure to the sun, and brighten “dishwater blond” hair. Prepare the mixture by using the flowers to make a tea. Boil in water and then strain. After you have shampooed, rinse your hair in the brew. You will need to do this several times. Let it set for 15 minutes and then rinse with normal water.
