  Chop a large lemon and place it in an enamel or glass saucepan with 2 cups of water. Turn the heat down to "Low" and simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes. Pour the mixture through a strainer, allow it to cool, and put it in a spray bottle. Store the lemon mixture in the refrigerator and mist it on your hair to highlight it as needed.
