Will Sun-In highlightening spray damage your hair like bleach?

Question

or is it a safer alternative?

Some of you say it's bleach...I rememeber the bottle saying peroxide?

Answer 1

That question is vague because there are a number of factors to consider. First the color, the porosity, the amount of hair to be highlighted and I believe the length has something to do with it as well. The key word is lightening meaning remove color which must be done with a bleach and or peroxide with a high lift tint. If your hair is a lighter color it will probably lighten quickly with minimal damage but if your hair is darker then it probably will not lighten to a desired color and if left on longer will cause more damage. Depending on if the hair is virgin hair meaning no damage from chemicals-perming, coloring and so on that will have an effect on the out come on the amount of damage which is the porosity meaning the ability to absorb. Long hair normally has lighter ends where as shorter hair gets the ends cut more so the hair strand is not as old on the end as longer hair so this would effect the out come. It would probably be better if you went and had it done by a licensed cosmetologist at a salon that you felt communicated your needs. I hope this answer helped you .Almost forgot about the amount of hair to be lightened. Spraying all the hair opposed to sectioning off pieces will naturally damage more hair.

Answer 2

Peroxide is a bleach...it's what hairdressers use to achieve the light blonde look. But it does depend on how much there is in the sun spray. Peroxide does damage your hair though...it removes the colour pigments from your strands of hair, resulting in the hair weakening and breaking more often. It also loses its shine. If I were you then I'd try adding some lemon juice to my hair whilst shampooing and then hit the sun straight after...not great results but subtle and healthier.

Answer 3

My hair dresser told me it does..but personally ive used it a few times and you're fine..im sure if you used it like all the time it would but so would any other hair product...id deefeintly use that over bleach or hair dye..it works good too unless you use a lot...


If you use a lot on like dirty blonde/brown hair it shows up a little red..

Yes it is really bad... I used it hella years ago and my hair turned out good. the problem is if you want to get highlites or a perm later on you need to make sure all of it has grown out otherwise your hair will MELT ewww.
