Sun-in???

I used it for a while and had no problems. Everyone kept telling me not to use it and my hair turned out better than it was before. It seems like the darker a persons hair is, the worse Sun In is. Well, I have dark blond hair, so it probably turned out better for me than brunette people. My sister had light brown hair, used Sun In once or twice, and didn't notice much of a change at all. I'd just use very little of it at a time, and I'd only use it once a month or so. I think I used it too often though, because before I knew it my hair was becoming too light and I started growing darker roots, and I didn't want a commitment to hair color. I'm growing it out, and it just looks as if I spent too much time out in the sun. It doesn't take long before it gets too light. If your hair is darker than light ash brown, I wouldn't use it. I always thought brown hair looked nicer than my dark blond-- maybe we could trade? I guess we can't, oh well. I guess I'd probably go to a salon to get highlights done if I had brown hair.

Lori-I agree with everyone's post here. Stay away from Sun In and go with highlights. The problem with Sun-In, from the chemical point-of-view, is that it "lifts" the hair color, but does not deposit any. As a result, if your hair is more brown than blond, you can easily lift your hair into an orange stage! For blonder gals, this is much less of a risk. Regardless of your hair color, however, the product is damaging and fails to deposit anything conditioning, nor does it "fill in" your hair where it has lifted out the color.You will get good, not to mention predictable :), results by visiting a salon and getting some highlights added. I think these are lovely on med brown hair.good luck :) silvie

Aaaackk! Stay away, stay away! Zees schtuff ees baaad for yourrr hair!Seriously, I tried it several years ago, and not only did I have that lovely, brassy orange color in a bizarre sort-of all-over highlight (think spray paint or glowing), but my hair kept breaking at the ends, as every day, lots of little hair ends fell all over my drafting board. I have med-dark brunette hair, so perhaps the damage was worse for me than it would be for you, but my advice remains not to risk it.Jennifer Eve

I have light/med brown, long, naturally curly hair. I really want to use sun-in but I am afraid it will turn my hair orange. If you know about sun-in and its effects on darker hair or any pros and cons on the product please let me know. Also if you have any other ideas about other products like sun-in I would love to hear them.Thanks a million!
