Both chlorine and lemon juice are really drying for your hair... plus chlorine can give you a green tinge if you're blonde. I'm blonde and try to get the sun to lighten it a bit in the summer... my hairdresser always says that letting wet hair dry in the sun is just as good as lemon juice, and less drying... the cuticle is more open on wet hair and lets the sun penetrate more. At the cottage I always let my hair dry in the sun, and it's noticeably lighter by the end of the summer.
