A simple water-sugar mix works well too; though it might be better for short hair vs. long hair as the sugar mix does get hard & a bit sticky ;0

Donna, I think I would feel strange intentionally putting vodka in my hair.

Try mixing the lemon juice with a little Knox gelatin and adding a few drops of grain alcohol (vodka works). Play with the amounts until you get the results you want. I got this idea from my niece and her husband.
