Sun Bum Lighten and Tone Travel Kit - Blonde Hair Lightener and Tone Enhancer - Enhances Hair Color and Shine while Neutralizing Brassy Tones - UV Protecting - Vegan and Cruelty Free (4 oz, 1.5 fl oz)

Ofc if your hair is darker, this may turn it orange-y. That’s just how hair lightening is. And for a lot of ppl, it’s not a one step process. The orange/yellow is also what the toner is for.. I’m a natural blonde with bleached hair. Always liked the look of my roots being darker but wanted them a lil lighter so this worked super well. It’s drying but not ruining my hair drying like the rest of it. I actually like that it takes some of the oil away because that’s part of the reason I bleach my hair. My roots looked kinda natural anyway since everyone’s hair is darker at the top but I feel like this made it blend way better. I use the toner at the very bottoms of my hair. It does moisture but for my hair, it’s a lil heavy. I like the idea of something I can spray in though without having to wash it out or sit there bleaching my hair which is a whole process that I’m just so over. All in all it works great. I stand out in the sun for 30 mins or so after spraying the lightener in and combing it thru. Also works better than I expected for highlights. Just wish the toner was a lil less heavy but not worried about it.

Actually works like crazy! I got high lights then started using this sun in ti kinda go cali blonde/ beach blonde and it works! My hair is a lot lighter! It’s kinda crazy!! The video is me know and the photo is me before. I would totally recommend it if you want to lighten your hair but not pay for a salon or potentially fry your hair

I have tried Sun In before to attempt to lighten or give highlights to my hair and this product works similarly to sun in. These are both hydrogen peroxide based products that will lighten your hair with sun or heat exposure. I found that the sun bum lightener is much less potent. It takes a lot more product before you start to see any lightning results. I felt like the damage that I did to my hair was pretty similar to the sun in, so I would expect it to lighten my hair as quickly as the Sun In does. I will say it was better than Sun In because it comes with a toner, which is a huge issue if you’ve ever tried Sun In before, you know that it makes your hair, very brassy and orange rather than blonde. So extra points to the sun bum product because the toner really does make a difference although I feel it adds a bit of damage so make sure that you are prepared to repair your hair back to health. Overall, solid product but you need to use lots of it to see the desired results. I’d also like to mention that I used this in an area where the UV index during the summer reaches 14 and I went out at the hottest hours of the day in order to use this product and it still took about 30 minutes before I started to see any real results. I feel with sun in that you see it almost instantly when you go into the sun after applying. Less damage than sun in but longer process. I noticed hardly any brassy tones with the toner.

My granddaughter couldn’t find this brand anywhere. She loves it. Thank you Amazon :)

So far, I’ve tried Suntouched, Sunbabe, and lastly Sun Bum. Without a doubt, Sun Bum not only lightened the best, but also seemed to nourish my hair. I have a ton of hair so I feel that I don’t get as many applications as other people might, however my hair lightened one level after finishing this bottle. My hair was a very badly grown out balayage with brown roots and light blonde ends. This product allowed me to gently blend the different levels. I intend to continue using this product over the others. Important to note: This product will lighten all hair that you apply it to. So if you want an all over lightning effect then apply all over. If you are trying to blend your roots, spray new growth only then gently brush downward towards already lightened hair. Wear gloves when applying and cover your ears with an oil ( I use castor oil) to prevent skin irritation!!!! Although this is a much more gentle alternative to bleaching, it does lift using a proprietary blend which Includes peroxide as one of its ingredients. If your hair is severely damaged or fried from over-lightening, take caution!

I wanted this to tone my hair, but it ended up making it look more brassy and orange than before. The kit is convenient and easy to use, but the results were not what I expected. It just did not work well for my hair.
