submitted by jjustbecause - 3 years ago
  • A:Β Hey there! Yes, it's perfect for that :) It's also highly recommended that you use our Hair Lightener with our Tone Enhancer or a purple shampoo of some sort, in order to neutralize that brassiness. If you have any further questions on how to proceed, feel free to reach out to us or your stylist for more info. Hope this helps <3 xo, SB

Q: What does it mean to use no more than once between shampoos? I’m confused like use it once a month, use it every other shampoo or what? I’m just not sure exactly and feel very confused

submitted by Mary - 2 years ago
  • A:Β Hi Mary, thanks so much for reaching out! What makes this product work is a lightening blend of ingredients including hydrogen peroxide, which oxidizes the melanin in the hair causing it to lighten. This product is intended to be used slowly and gradually and should be used on dry or damp hair directly to areas you want affected. We would recommend that you use the product no more than 2 or max 3 times a week in order to avoid hair breakage and damage. Hope this helps, and feel free to reach out to us through our contact page if you have any more questions :) xo, SB

Q: Is this hair color permanent or does it fade after a while.I want to dye my hair a light purple but I don’t want to bleach it and I have dark red hair.I want to use this instead but I want to make sure that when the dye comes out I don’t have blonde hair

submitted by Julia - 3 years ago
  • A:Β Hi Julia! What makes this work is a blend of natural ingredients like lemon and pineapple, as well as a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide which oxidizes the melanin in the hair causing it to lighten. Our Hair Lightener is intended to be used slowly and gradually and should be used on dry or damp hair no more than 2-3 times a week. It works best on very light brown to blonde hair. For you, I’d recommend trying it on an inconspicuous piece of hair first to see if you like the result. It's important to remember that all results are permanent. If you have any other questions about this product or any of our other products, feel free to reach out to us at hey@sunbum.com! xo, Sun Bum

submitted by Rhyan - 4 years ago

I love the smell of this stuff & it lightens my hair (even as a dark brunette). But I think this stuff is slowly damaging my hair by making it more fragile. Still would recommend just don’t spray after every shower!

Hi there! We're super bummed that you had this unexpected experience. When it comes to our Hair Lightener, it's important to remember that due to its active ingredients, your hair color will gradually become lighter. Depending on how dark your hair was to begin with it could pull the orange-ish tint you are experiencing. Just as if you were going to get a salon service you will need to tone your hair to enhance the lightening process. It's highly recommended that you use our Hair Lightener with our Tone Enhancer or a purple shampoo of some sort, in order to neutralize that brassiness. If you have any further questions on how to proceed, feel free to reach out to us on our website’s contact page or check with your stylist for more info. With love, Sun Bum

For me this worked really well! I have medium blond hair and was hoping to lighten it for the summer and Im happy i got the hair lightener. it did take a few days in the sun to see results, so you have to be patient, but totally worth it. It also hasn't faded and when i wash my hair I have never noticed that it comes out at all. Would definitely recommend

We love this at our house. We live in a beach community. We like to look like we live in a beach community. I have highlighted dark brown hair that gets lighter in the sun. This product keeps me out of the salon chair in the spring and summer if I’m out in the sun. I use it with the purple shampoo and conditioner and spray to keep the brass away …. don’t overuse the purple.

I had high hopes for this product. I was hoping for a natural beachy highlights, or to at least make my natural highlights pop. But no. It turned my hair a brassy orange. It had a much stronger outcome than I wanted. I then had to pay a lot of money to get my hair fixed and back to my natural color. I would NOT advise purchasing this product.
