Black/Dark brown hair to light brown

My hair was really dark brown, almost black. I've been wanting to dye it light brown for months but was so afraid of my hair breaking off (it happened before). I was skeptical bc this is for blondes but I know the undertone color of my hair is light brown so I wasn't worried about it turning red or ...

Only works on people with light hair

I bought this product to enhance my natural highlights. I do have medium brown hair so I was weary about my hair turning red because of some of the reviews I read. After using it a little bit during the summer I was pretty happy with my results and my natural highlights were even lighter. The f...

I have been using this for several years. Obviously it is as bad for your hair as saltwater, wind, and no trims, but it is not in itself damaging in my years of having used it. If you don't have access to sunlight, I would recommend buying a bonnet extension for a hair dryer, attach it to the hair dryer, put sun bum in hair, and sit for 10-20 minutes. It's a really great product. People ask me if I get my hair colored a lot, and it's really just this. And it saves me a fortune.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I started using this hair lightener over the summer. In the summer, I'm outside almost every day. My natural hair started out fairly light on the top layer, but beneath it is very dark. The first few uses actually looked decent, but after a whole summer of trying to go blonde, it was bad. It looked SO fake. It was brassy, orange, dry, damaging, and my hair was one big split end. Then, my DARK brown roots began coming in. It was so bad, I had to go to the salon and get my entire head dyed my natural color. It looks great now that I got it fixed, though it's still recovering from the damage. Let's just say I learned my lesson. My friend who was alteady blonde used it, and it looked amazing. You just have to be cautious!!!!
