Has anyone used sun-in??? Does it work??

Question

Does it work well??? Are there any pros or cons to using it?

Answer 1

ok i used sun-in two summers ago and at first my hair looked great. then about 3 days later it started turning a orangish color. it burnt my hair really bad. thats because it has peroxide in it. if you want your hair to look totally fake, go for it. but my best advice is either go to a professional stylist or you could put a little lemon juice in your hair. it naturally lightens it..but you still get the roots if you dont' keep up with it.
i'm sure your hair is great already. i'd stay natural!

Answer 2

If your already blonde your hair is probably fine already. I wouldn't use it if you are already a blonde sun in is definately an extreme measure. John Freida has alot of products designed to get natural highlights like leave in lemon stuff. A more natural way is alot better and healthier for you hair to hairstylist sun in is a bad word!! Because it completely strips your hair along with making it blonde! So don't sacrifice to much your hair also might be cotton candy after wards that is what mine used to do. Try JOHN FRIEDA at like a wallgreens or drug store he's the best for that kind of stuff. And it' farely innexpensive.

Answer 3

The products used by a professional colorist contain two types of ingredient - a peroxide of varying stregnth depending on how many shades lighter you want to go, and colour pigment to replace the pigments removed by the peroxide...with me so far?
Sun in is really a mild peroxide. It removes color, but doesn't replace it. It will lighten your hair unpredictably, depending on whether your natural shade is very ashen (it will go very pale/white blonde on an ash blonde base, grey/mouse on an light ash brown base. If your hair has a golden or reddish base, it will almost certainly go yellowish orange.
I think one of the biggest problems with using sun in and similar products is the fact that they stay in your hair and continue to process for way too long, making your hair dry and brittle. in a salon, we would check the chemica'sl effects every few minutes and remove it as soon as the ideal color was achieved.
One last thing - all salon products contain highly effective conditioners in the colorant.
It's hard to advise without seeing your natural color, but I'd say sun in type products are only really successful on light, ash blonde hair, and I would apply, leave for a while, rinse, check the color when dry, and reapply if you want it lighter. When you're happy with the color, apply a good conditioning treatment.Good Luck!

YES IT DOES WORK MY hair is very black and I used it when I knew I was going to be out in the sun I sparyed it in a few places to make it look like highlights and my friends asked if I got it done at a salon It was a very nice color it was like a redish brown color.

Answer 5

I used it years ago. It makes your hair very dry and leaves an oder too. I used strait lemon juice a few years ago. Watch for the bee's; but it works better because your hair is not being dried out!

Answer 6

You'll have to try it yourself and see how it looks. It turns out differently on each person. Depends on your current color, whether you're hair is already colored or not. I have light blonde hair already and I used it before. It brightened my hair a little, nothing too noticable. But I've heard about it turning other peoples hair orangish. It will probably work best if you already have dark blonde or light brown hair. You'll just have to experiment.

Answer 7

relying on how darkish your hair is, you would possibly want to turn ginger. even once you're a tender brown then it will nevertheless provide this yellowy gingery strawberry blonde outcome. It want damage your hair in any respect yet in case you want to bypass perfect blonde instead of strawberry blonde then i'd reccomend bleach. solar-in is without problem to apply, spray all of it over damp towel dried hair, then with the gentle of the solar or the nice and cozy temperature of a hairdryer, enable it dry and VIOLA!!! desire you get the outcome you needed and also you should truthfully study the training once you're uncertain! xxx

Answer 8

Yes - but it makes your hair fragile. It isn't worth the trade off. ...Yes, you're lighter - but it breaks in your hand? No.

If you want to lighten - go for a conditioning permanent color.

You're gonna end up with "roots" either way - might as well protect your hair while you're at it.

I like L'Oreal Excellence.
"A" means ASH - and has green tones to make red hair less brassy.
"BB" or "NB" is a balanced color. (Natural or Beige Blonde)
"G" or "R" is for added gold or red color.

Peace hon.

Answer 10

It does turn your hair orange. Use lemon instead. Stay natural.
