Use clips to section your hair up, and thoroughly spray each section of your hair. After your entire head of hair is sprayed with lemon juice, run a wide-tooth comb through your hair. You could also spray smaller sections of your hair for highlights. Simply section off the pieces of hair you want lighter, put a towel underneath that section of hair, and spray that individual portion of your hair.
