Does Sun Bum make hair lighter?

Hair Lightener

Our Hair Lightener is specifically formulated to intensify the natural highlighting effects of the sun, giving our locks that natural, sun-kissed look we love. This UV-activated formula sprays on sheer and uses naturally derived ingredients like Costa Rican pineapple and Meyer lemon to help create natural looking blonde highlights. And while we're all about picking lemons off our neighbor's tree and squeezing them straight into our hair, it just didn't feel right bottling that up and charging you for it—so, we added just a little hydrogen peroxide into the mix for an extra boost of hair lightening power.

Oh, and yes—hair lightening results are permanent.

Directions

For an all over lighten and brighten, spray throughout dry or damp hair before sun exposure. For sun-kissed highlights, spray onto select strands. To avoid breakage and over-drying, we don’t recommend using more than once between hair washes.

For darker shades, check out our FAQ for using hair lightener for dark hair. 

For sure! Our Sun Bum Hair Lightener is formulated with ingredients that really help amplify the natural highlighting effect of the sun including:

Meyer Lemon & Costa Rican Pineapple extracts
Topped off with a bit of hydrogen peroxide
We’ve seen the best color results on lighter brown to blonde hair tones. But using hair lightener on dark brown hair will work it will just give you warmer hues…think amber, gold, and honey. If you do decide to try it on dark hair, we recommend testing it out on a few strands first by applying 1-2 sprays and combing through your hair before going out in the sun. Just remember all results are permanent.

Whether you are going for an all over light a bright look or some sun-kissed highlights, use these steps for the best results:

Wash hair using shampoo and conditioner
On desired area, spray Hair Lightener onto dry or damp hair
To avoid breakage and over-drying, limit use to no more than once between hair washes and use a leave in conditioner. We also recommend using a tone Enhancing product with this like our Tone Enhancer. Complete the look with any of our other hair styling products.
