I love Sun-In! I've used it for about 3 years, since after Touch of Sun ceased production. It's a bit harsher than the old one, but not totally damaging. I am a dark brunette and get to a lighter dishwater blonde using this. I mentioned waiting on my order the other day and a colleague noted that she didn't realize I colored. I've also been asked what color I use to get it such a nice blonde. Due to the nature of the product, you get not a "flat blonde", but natural tones and highlights all with a few sprays and a blow-drier!

works great

I've used this product for over a decade. I use it every summer to give me summery highlights. They last until they grow out. Very natural and looks great!

This product is great to use as a lightener. It's affordable and it works. In response to lizzie dancer- the reason your hair turned reddish was NOT the product. It just means your hair NATURALLY has red tones in it.

Excellent product!

I just bought this in hopes of highlighting my medium-dark brown hair to give it some of those sexy Victoria's Secret highlights that the models have. I didn't think it'd work right away, but I just sprayed it in my damp hair, blow dried it and it's already got some noticeable lighter coloring where I sprayed it. I love this product and greatly recommend it!

Excellent product if you are blond

You must be bright, otherwise it makes a mess. I like very much the result, even though when you keep it on it smells, so you have to wash your hair again before leaving the house.

good

Lets be honest: this is not meant to be used as overall color. I have strawberry blonde hair and normally pay upwards of [$]for highlights. I have used similar products before. In my opinion, if you use it sparigly and it achieves a great result. I use it 2-3 times every 3-4 months and deep condition and treat my hair well in meantime, it looks like I got a bit of sun and gives my hair a bit of a brighter look, I use very very little. Ok, so it is perfect salon hair but it is very very close and saves me over 1K per year.

Awesome

I have really dark blonde hair that is really bright blonde in the summer when I'm out in the sun. But because lately I've had to be indoors or working nights my hair has been really dark. You don't even need to be out in the sun for this stuff to work, but it will take more time and application. I did not notice any "reddening" but my hair does have a slight red undertone. This stuff is really great because the blondeness does not look fake or dyed, its like how my hair was when I was a kid and always outside playing in the sun. I reccommed!

I wouldn't buy this product again

Pros: Natural Look

Cons: Color Misrepresented, Smells Bad

Commitment To Color: Semi-Permanent

Bottom Line: not recommended

I have over all dirty blonde hair that turns very blonde in the summer and dirty blonde in the winter. I wanted a natural hair lightening product (I don't like to use dye) that I could use in the winter. The first time I used Sun In I thought my hair looked a liitle blonder so I used it once every week. Three weeks later my hair didn't look blonde, but more like a reddish blonde! I was very dissapointed and wouldn't buy this product again.

I have been using this product or similar for the past 20 years with great success. I never had salon color in my hair. I have light brown hair and this makes nice blond shinny layers and some redish. People even hair dressers congrat me on my color.... which they don't know it cost less than [$]

Simply spray Sun-In in your damp hair and comb through to evenly distribute.
For a sun-streaked look, spray only the strands you want highlighted.
Relax and let the sun do the work. You can also bring out your highlights faster with a little help from a blow dryer.

Please recycle.
