Q: I had really blonde hair when I was younger but got darker to dirty blonde is it possible it will bring back my natural color ?

submitted by Gizel - 7 years ago

  • A: Sun In is a hair lightener that lightens your natural shade. It will turn your dirty blonde hair to a lighter shade of blonde. That being said, it’s not a colorant with various shades, so we cannot guarantee it will be an exact color match to your original shade.

Q: Do you need to be in the sun for it to work?? Or does your hair just needs to be wet?

submitted by Anonymous - 7 years ago

  • A: Sun In works with heat activation – and that can be achieved by the sun or a blow dryer. We recommend applying Sun In to wet hair and then letting the sun activate the lightener or the heat of a blow dryer activate it.

Q: what does this do to natural gray hair?

submitted by Dusty - 7 years ago

  • A: Sun In is a hair lightener and not a colorant so it will not color gray hair. However, it may take some of the yellowish tints out as it lightens

    It Works

    The results I was looking for

    I honestly was a little scared to try this with all the mixed reviews but I was pleasantly surprised! After just one use my hair was much lighter and more vibrant. My hair was looking dull but I didn’t want to spend the money to go to the salon so I decided to try this product and I’m sure glad I did! I’m happy with the results.

    It works but is subtle. Make sure you use a good protective moisturizing shampoo and conditioner when you do was your hair since it is drying on you gair.

    Works quickly abd subtly

    Be careful

    Be careful if you get your hair done after wait at least 2 years after or longer to get highlights and if you do make sure to tell your hairstylist that you used this and have them do a test strand it’s better of just getting highlights than using this but when I did use it my hair became super yellow and dry

    Does exactly what the OG Sun in use to do. Lightens hair. Results will vary. Doesn’t smell wonderful but also doesn’t smell terrible. A little goes a long way. Works instantly. Have now purchased 3x this summer

    Love it!

    I have never had a problem with it. It's always worked great for me. Put "streaks like" in my hair. I even got compliments. I haven't used it in quite some time, cause it's hard to come by "in store" but remembered you guys always had it!! Thanks. I'm gonna try it again when purchased. 😊

    great results after one use!!

    i have very dark brown hair and i definitely noticed results after one use! i’m trying to get more of a reddish brown, my stylist didn’t want to use bleach to have a lighter base to start with (neither did i) so i bought this hoping i could lighten my hair just a bit before i go in for my appointment, and it worked wonders! my hair turned to a reddish-brown but i also have super old dye in it. i did notice a slight smell but it wasn’t unpleasant, and i was very generous too. for the price it’s totally worth it!!

    Adds nice color!

    Have been using sun in for years to lighten my hair in the summer! It’s always worked well for me & slowly brings me back to blonde. My hair is more of a dirty blonde so this brings in some nice highlights. I would say just make sure you have a hydrating shampoo & conditioner to use afterwards

    Literally broke my hair off

    Literally broke my hair off after just one use. I hadn't seen this stuff since high school.... thought I'd give it a try to bring out my summer blonde. Now I'm just grateful I have any hair left at all. It's going to take forever to grow out the damage from one light spritz...and I started with natural blonde, healthy hair. I'm horrified. Please be careful!
