Camomile has a gentle, lightening effect on hair and is good for sun-streaking blonde and light brown hair. However it takes several applications and a good deal of time to produce the desired effect. The advantage of Camomile over chemical bleach is that it never gives a brassy or yellow tone. Best for blonde hair, it will also gently lighten red.
