I rebelled with Sun-In when I was 12. My mom wouldn’t let me get highlights because it was too dramatic of a change, so I convinced her Sun In would be a lot more subtle. But I sprayed and then blow dried my hair over and over again until I had used the entire bottle. I walked out of the bathroom with white highlights framing my face. I was grounded for a month but it was all worth it when I went to school on Monday and everyone thought I was the coolest kid.
Epic! My best friend and I walked to a local grocery store, bought box dye and dyed our hair right in the store bathroom! Yeah, we were grounded too! Lol!
I used sun-in on my virgin hair when I was 15 years old. I had a hair-dryer and legit lightened my hair to a gorgeous gloden blonde color, from ash brown and got A TON of compliments. Since then I haven't done it. But, I had a great experience as a teen. ** I'm assuming the formula hasn't changed over the years **
Yes that's how it's supposed to be used. I have natural red undertones to my dark blond hair and Sun In gave me really nice pale blond highlights. Better than any over the counter color to be honest.
I have level 3 hair, but started coloring my hair with hydrogen peroxide when I was about 13 and it always worked really well! I also used Sunin and it worked the same, but was more expensive so I just used hydrogen peroxide...
I stole my sister's sun-in when I was in sixth grade and I was punished with ORANGE BANGS as a result. And I was too embarrassed to admit at school that I was intentionally trying to be ~blonde~ so when anyone asked my brilliant 11 year old self decided to say my hair had an allergic reaction to a new shampoo. And my freaking homeroom teacher followed my response with "and you only washed your bangs?" klfklflk DRAG ME, NANCY!
Lmao I was going to comment the same thing. I grew up in the 90s and have definitely used sun-in already 😂. What's worse, is I grew up poor and sun-in was too expensive so we'd usually just run a piece of lemon on our hair 😂
Same! Brown hair, middle school in 1989. I wanted the blonde hair I saw in the sun in ads in Seventeen! Unfortunately, beta carotene realness on top of my head was the reality 😆😆😆
I loved sun in as a teenager. I wasn’t allowed to dye my hair but I got the sun in. It looked nice and blonde because I already had a dirty blonde natural color. One of my favorite teenage memories ☀️
@@beee.333 just get lemon water and spray it in ur hair go out in the sun. if u want you can get 3% hydrogen peroxide and mix it in there with it for similar effects
As a dark blonde i can confirm it worked perfectly for my hair when i was younger, but it seems like most people with brown/black hair shouldn’t use it! it’s not like it’ll be toned so it turns out orange
Julie Diana ya i’ve been using it since i was little cause i have dark blonde hair and natural highlights and even w out using it the sun works by its self but i think it works
I have dark blonde hair and can confirm. It just makes my hair look sunkissed all year. I think it only works for me because I naturally have some highlights already so sunin just amplifies that.
@@Natalie-rr7db just realize it takes a while to grow back..I got an undercut back in March and it's just now growing back enough to do something with. It looks super wonky since the rest of my hair is almost shoulder length.
I have naturally dark brown hair, but have siblings with red and blonde hair so my hair pulls very warm undertones easily. It does naturally get lighter in the sun and by the end of summer, the bottom of my hair is noticeably a different color than the top haha. Well I was traveling for a month, surfing every day. Brilliant me thought I could accentuate my natural highlights by using Sun Bum. Unfortunately the Sun Bum plus the bright sun and salt water fried my hair. It's dry and very brassy-toned now. I am thinking of trying a purple shampoo to get a more cool-tone, but I'm scared because I heard that the purple shampoo can be particularly drying. Has anyone ever found this to be the case? What should I do?
@@beachnap you should try a purple conditioner instead, i used not your mother’s blonde moment toning purple hair mask after i bleached my hair and it made it really soft and healthy looking. i have only used it once so i don’t know how well it will tone hair with continuous use, but it did make my hair slightly less yellow. i’m not sure if it will get your hair to the tone you want but it’s very hydrating and repaired my hair after the bleach so i would suggest maybe trying it!! good luck :)
Brad, coming from an 80's girl you missed the point. With Sun In, the original formula, you got that lovely shade of orange with a nice brittle texture and breakage to boot. Which clearly is the only way to go... as we applied it to our dry hair before we spent hours of time sunbathing with our iodine and baby oil to give us that nice orange glow to the skin as well. After a couple days of that, you've got a stunning monochromatic summer look. That fantastic 80's look that was ALL the rage!
For me it was the 70's ! Mix a few drops of iodine into Hawaiian Tropics or Coppertone . The Sun In , or DIY lemon juice , peroxide and water ...some girls used vodka in the mix. I can smell it all now 😏
I used Sun-In in the 90's--my grandmother (former old-school hair dresser) refused to let me actually dye my hair because of being a kid in school--on my 'mouse brown' hair. It did produce some very nice copper-ish highlights. Around 2000, when the formula was changed, well...it didn't do anything anymore. After that, my grandmother decided to just start mixing up lemon juice rinses and using those to produce natural highlights. Actually...idea, Brad. How about testing at-home lightening methods--chamomile, vinegar, lemon juice, ect.--to see how they work? Or an old darkening method involving a sage tea rinse to darken hair?
DemonAngelSakina I used it in the 80’s and it was mostly peroxide without much else. End of my finger tips went white. I was lucky that I was dark blonde so colour was ok but because I sprayed it all over my roots where not a good look 😂
Brad is one of the only people who can really boost my mood with his intros 😹❤️ Edit: omg I just checked my notifications tysm for the likes and BRAD LIKED MY COMMENT YALL NO WAY!
I remember using Sun In when I was 16 and went to California for a month during summer. I didn't even know how to use it cause the bottle was old and the directions were printed on and faded. I used it every night after a shower, blow dried my hair after applying it and some how using it with the way my hair naturally lightened in the sun, my hair ended up looking amazing like I had went to a salon and got highlights. I was so pleased.
OK.. so Brad used to be gentle with the dolls, he even talked to them, he was so nice, but now he just throws them on the floor and doesn’t even apologize for it:DDD
I’ve been using SunIn on my dark blonde hair for 15yrs. Thanks for not being a snob! I really appreciate it. Most stylists are like ‘Eww, you use SunIn? That’s horrible!’ 😒 I like it. It’s pretty subtle so I don’t have to worry about roots. I touch it up every 2-3 mos.
Fun fact: When I was in middle school, I used "Lightening Gel" to gel my hair into a bun... I didn't realize it was gel that lightens hair... so I was shook when my "roots" started changing copper... I thought I was sick, that something was in our well water... then one day I was at the store buying more gel when I finally realized it... smh
I never used or even read the instructions of Sun In. When I was in beauty school, my color teacher literally told all of us it’s bleach in a bottle and it’ll make your hair fall out. I’m laughing now at the manipulation of hair stylists who desperately hate this DIY stuff because it take their money away. I stopped dying my hair over a year ago and I’ve been wanting something subtle with less damage than bleach or regular color. I’m considering a Sun In type product.
My cousin used to use it and her hair would turn like a piss yellow. Keep in mind her hair naturally is dark blonde/light brown. She asked if my sister and I (me with medium brown hair, sister with dark brown hair naturally) wanted to use it. Did nothing to our hair, or if it did, it was very subtle.
My childhood best friend used it, her mom would put it in her hair everyday mine you we lived in Florida, there was basically never not sun. She wanted to bleach her hair, so that was her moms compromise lmao
Brad, im Brazilian so sorry for the gramatical errors. I used to use sun in when i was like, 14y, me and my sister used for a long time, i really like the results but there is a problem, A BIG PROBLEM. When you bleach your hair that is already light because of the sun in, it literally FRIES YOUR HAIR, really. So it's important to keep in note that you SHOULD NOT BLEACH YOUR HAIR THAT IS ALREADY LIGHTING WITH SUN IN.
I love that people are considerate enough to warn others that english isn't their first language. But honestly most people whose native language is english don't even speak a second language DON'T FEEL BAD! Your grammar is better than a lot of english speaking people in general.. lol
@@ramahatem369 it goes back to its natural color when it grows out sun in doesn’t change the hair follicle colour it just changes the already grown color, if that makes sense
I’ve used Sun In since the late 80s. When I started in my teens, I was a light ash blonde. I always used it outdoors - it used to smell stronger and more like peroxide. It generally lightened my hair, especially the top layer, to almost my childhood white blonde. In the 90s when my hair thickened and lengthened to a medium ash, I switched to braiding my wet hair and spraying it before a day in the sun - did it once a month through the fall, gave me great highlights about 2 shades lighter. By the 00s, the formula had changed - and so had my hair. It was medium caramel and the new version brought out more red/orange tones, and was very drying. So I switched to using it with a wide tooth comb and hair dryer to control where I wanted highlights, a couple times in summer. Now I’m in my 40s, my is deep caramel blonde - the roots are light brown but fade naturally to a medium blonde with red tones. I don’t use Sun In because I think the contrast would be too great and the new formula does tend to bring out the orange.
I had no clue Sun In still existed lol!! I loved it because I could give myself subtle highlights without it being damaging. I am pretty sure the last time I used it was the Summer of '97 lol.
my mom uses sun in religiously. it’s turned her hair from a mousey brown to an actual blonde. people believe it’s natural. i’ve never used it and i’ve always been cautious about it but it really did work for her.
And it didn’t damage her hair? My hair felt so damaged and dry and brittle. This was 30 years ago so they may have improved plus I probably used too much 🤷🏽♀️
@@deandrajohnson1973 one of my guy friends from school used it, he had super dark brown hair. It destroyed his. It turned orange and got crispy. His mom lost her mind. 😂 he had to shave his head eventually. Idk what else he did to it tho. It was so bad. Edited to add that this was probably about 25 yrs ago.
When i was young my hair went from almost white to dark blonde from ages 5-11 and my grandmother started putting sunin in my hair around the age of 9ish 😅😅😅 she thought it was natural. It did take my hair to a pretty light blonde again. When i got older and wanted to start dying my hair she would always say "oh honey...you just need a lil sunin, thats all!!" 😅😅😅 god rest her soul. She was a hippy so she was stoned most of the time. That explains it.
My mum uses it too! But her hair is super super fine and I think it works well in her hair. It worked in my hair great when my hair was blonde when I was a kid. It would turn my hair super blonde. Once my hair turned brown as a teenager - forget it. I looked like someone dumped a caramel milkshake over my head .
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see this done on blonde or dirty blonde natural hair. Generally natural hair is going to show more color variation and highlights from the sun than a synthetic or dyed base would.
I've used Sun In for a few years and I like the results. Instead of going out to the sun, I blow dry & use a hair straightening iron to lighten my hair. It works, but it takes multiple applications. I have dark hair on the finer side, so maybe that's why my results weren't red/orange like other dark haired girls. I also didn't notice any hair damage. Fun tip: Apply only to your face framing hair strands to get face framing highlights!! It works if you apply a few times!!
I love this stuff! I think it works decently for me because I have dirty blonde hair. I think it says on the bottle I use to not use on dark hair. It just gives me natural highlights.
I love it because it takes my dirty blonde hair and make it just a little lighter to a honey blonde color. I would put it on my hair in the morning of a softball tournament and by the end of the day my hair was 2 shades lighter.
I'm a dark ass brunet, and I use this every year around spring time to lighten my hair for the summer. It works absolutely amazing for me! I use it mainly on my ends 😊
@@Jordan-bo4nv my hair is pretty soft tbh. I've been doing this to my hair for about 3 years and and it lasts a while. I have to spray it in my hair maybe once every one and a half months😊
Oh man, this took me back to my teen years in the 90s. I used "Touch of Sun" for a while and had a nice deep orange mane 😂 Eventually got bleached tips, then went jet black, and, well you can see where I am now. 😜
Man I remember being a teenager in the 80’s with Sun In in my hair, laying out on a blanket in the sun frying with baby oil and jamming with my boom box! Man I’m old! Lol
I started using Sun In when I was around 15. I was strawberry blonde and my hair started getting darker which I didn’t like. When I realized the main ingredient was hydrogen peroxide, I just refilled the bottle with straight hydrogen peroxide and have been lightening my hair like this for pennies ever since. I blow dry it and then wash it. I am now 57 and have never damaged my hair. Not sure if the mannequin hair was the best test (don’t know if that is human hair). Also I’ve also noticed that the lightening effect really shows after my hair is washed, which it seems wasn’t done in this test. (Just sayin’) Obviously I like the result on me, since I’ve been doing it for over 40 years. If my hair was naturally darker, it might have turned orange but it works for me.
That's great! I've been considerating doing the same. did you use some toning product? like blue shampoo? my hair is a light brown, so I think it may get brassy at some point
When I was a teenager we laid out in the back yard on the trampoline covered in Hawaiian tropic with a mixture of lemon and peroxide on our hair. Memories....
Brad: it takes SEVERAL sessions to get a good blonde. Brad: let's use Sun-In in for ONE HOUR and see if it works... Oh Brad, as early 2000's me would tell you, you're gonna need a few months. Lol
He knew it wouldnt 5urn the hair blonde...he just wanted to experience how light it would get. It never says it would turn your hair blonde it's just to lighten it in the sun
When he's saying Sun Bum smells just like a certain sunscreen/oil, I think he's referring to Hawaiian Tropic. Which is my favorite, it helps give you a great tan but omf it just smells like summer to me now. So tropical and amazing. 😍 Anywho, my mom used to use Sun In and it seemed to work for her. She preferred doing smaller pieces like her highlights and not all over, but it's literally in my bathroom right now. 😂 I have extremely dark brown hair with black in some areas, and reddish blonde highlights (all naturally somehow, thanks Irish and Portuguese genes lmao) and it never seemed to work quite as well on mine. Her hair is a muuuch lighter brown/golden blonde, and it works way better for her lol. It isn't drastic, and I wouldn't recommend using it constantly as it does make your hair feel dry after a while. I'm guessing from the peroxide and lemon juice. But it does help "refresh" blonder parts of the hair, in my opinion. Definitely shouldn't replace going to a pro, but it's cool for when you're at the beach/pool and just want a tiny bit of a boost for your highlights.
@@HelloThereIAmAlice Lol yeah, it isn't the healthiest thing but it happens. I mainly used them when I was in high school or younger, not so much anymore, but my skin also tans easier now than it used to even when I use sunscreen, which I don't really understand lol.
Im a natural blonde and I have used the John Frieda spray for years whenever I wanted to brighten my hair. It works well but it definitely needs a purple shampoo to ensure it doesn’t go yellow. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with brown hair though - my friend did this and she ended up a brassy as hellllllll and ginger.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we did have sun in, but it only turned everyone's hair Orange!!! So we just used the lemon juice which worked much better!! I read sun in and LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been a hairdresser for 20 years and Sun in was HUUUUUGE in the UK when I was training. It was nothing but an absolute nightmare, it contained metallic salts (back then) and you literally can't put any chemical process on top of it, which was a bummer in the 90s when everyone wanted a perm. I've seen women walk in the salon with nothing but short tufts of broken hair clinging to their scalp where they coloured or permed their hair over it and it snapped clean off. It got banned in the UK for obvious reasons 😂😂
Sonnys Mummy I was a big user of sun in back in the 90s and had no idea it was banned! Do you think those metallic salts could’ve posed a health hazard as well as a hair hazard? I’m chronically ill and trying to detox heavy metals. Never occurred to me that some could’ve come from hair products, and not sure whether it’s nonsense to consider it!
Can you put purple shampoo over brown hair that has sun in spray I am thinking of doing that for blond hair since purple shampoo cancels out orange tones right??? It'll mean a lot if u answer because It'll be amazing so I don't damage my hair. Have a good day. :)))
I've been curious about your thoughts on Sun-In for a while now, but not really actively enough to think about it much. This video provides a closure I didn't know I wanted.
My Aunt would lie in the sun for hours with sun in, she was naturally a dark blonde and it would make her a bleaaaach blonde. She is old as hell though the formula could have changed, sorry aunt Mike🤣
The first time I EVER colored my hair (at 13 years old), I used sun-in. My mom wouldn’t let me actually color my hair so I bought some of this stuff. I’d use it after every shower, so like 1-2 times a week, then blow dry. It got my natural brown/dark copper to a cute caramel color. I haven’t used it since bc I’ve been using Sally’s products for the last 10 years, but I was happy with the results at the time and it smelled amazing.
@@CosmicEremite I think she meant she’d use the product after taking a shower only 1-2 times a week. Meaning she only used the product 1 or 2 times a week after a shower.
It’s crazy everybody saying it’s horrible, my hair is naturally dark brown if not almost black and I used it before I ever bleached my hair. And it made my hair a really light brown. You just have to sit in the sun and use a lot of it.
Same!! When I was in kindergarten, my mom sprayed sun-in in my hair which is naturally a medium ashy brown thinking it wasn't going to do much, maybe only gonna give me subtle highlights, but I ended up coming home from school blonde lol!
i have a darker blonde/light brown hair and i use this a lot to make my hair lighter and it works. i usually blow dry my hair with it in and it works perfectly. i’ve used it for many years and nothing has happened to my hair, but i take care of my hair so it’s not damaged
Talking about orange hair... I was at Sally's, and this girl asked the assistant a good toner for orange hair. And guess what she recommended, yeah TWO T18 boxes! I heard Brad cringing for the trillion time after she bought them.
I used to work at Sally’s and, I was only the one with certification for coloring and advice at my location. I used to cringe so hard when the others would try. The best caveat I can give is: You take your hair in your hands anytime you do anything to it yourself. Lol results vary.
I used chamomille shampoo when I was younger and I loved it. Very subtle and gradual, but it actually makes your hair a bit lighter without the damage.
I’ve been using John Frieda’s for almost 5 years on my natural light brown hair and it leaves it with beautiful golden highlights. Looks very natural and keeps my hair very healthy. I only use it once per month to brighten my hair. I get a lot of compliments and it has made me save a fortune in salon appointments.
I used the John Frieda leave-in hair lightening spray once when I couldn't get hold of Sun-In. I'd been using Sun-In for years with good results - my hair is naturally mousey blonde and I like that sun-kissed look that you can get from Sun-In, but the John Frieda stuff made my hair so fragile and it broke off. Absolute disaster. Would never use it again. I'll stick to Sun-In in future.
I’m only seeing negative reviews about sun in so here’s a positive one: I’ve used it for the last 10 years and it doesn’t look orange, it doesn’t look damaged, and I’m confident it’s healthier than if I would’ve used bleach 😬 I have really dark hair and with the spray it looks light brown and copperish. Personally I love it 😔
I love sun in to! I used to use it all the time on my natural hair and it looked great I got some many compliments. Now that I dyed my hair dark of course I don't use sun in anymore. But I don't have anything bad to say about the product.
Just a disclaimer DO NOT GO BLEACH, DYE, OR DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT IF YOU USE SUN IN I don’t know if you already know this but there are a lot of people who say that when you do that it can severely damage your hair with the chemical reaction
I’m blond and have used this type of product every summer for maybe more than 10 years 🤷🏼♀️ It’s not a one day change thing.... When summer is coming I just spray some after shower once every 10 days and when summer comes my hair is lighter and I sometimes use a purple conditioner to tone it. I never use heat when I have the product in my hair because the few times I tried to do it my hair gets damaged. Just my experience 🙆🏼♂️
Ash Bath I use ELEVEN Australia ‘keep my colour’. It also a hydrates the hair, this is the one I have available where I’m living now, I always buy the purple conditioner at a professional hair care store. And always conditioner, shampoo is too hard on my hair
I use John Frieda one for several years now on my virgin hair. I do this once every 3 months. My virgin hair is mousy brown/grey but with this they look sunkissed and people compliment my hair a lot and they ask where I colour my hair so they look so effortlessly beachy. But it is just this spray. Only thing we have different packaging in Europe, not so comfortable as this looks.
Many girls in school who were light blone as kids and darkened to dark blone as teens used it. Some of them had splotchy results. Application technique is important
jelenalahtina Same! Just has to be used carefully like you said (only every 2-3 months) and I also do a purple shampoo mask to make sure it won’t be yellow 🤣
I haven't heard anyone talk about sun-in since the 90s, as adolescents we all used it because it's the only thing our parents would allow 😂 all the mustard yellow haired kids
True my mom wouldn't allow when me dye my hair back in middle school so she got me sun in to use and omg it turned my hair some burnt reddish color and didn't notice until my grandma asked why hair was red lol
When I was a teenager back in the 80s, before I started getting salon highlights, I used to use Sun In. I had naturally dirty blonde hair, and I LOVED it. It definitely lightened it several shades. I don't know if the formula has changed since then:)
Brad, You don’t have to go out in the sun. I’m a old time user, who used it back in the seventies. I had light brown hair and used it a few times a year. It turned my hair a strawberry blonde. Loved it. Being a boomer, No Sun in now, gray now, lol. 😳Oh, you are right. It does damage. I always wondered why my hair felt like straw, lol 😆 again. Thanks for trying it out.
If you're going to use one of these, the John Frieda creates the least risk if you're going to highlight the hair in the future. To my knowledge it mainly works on blonds, but it def works, which is why its always sold out all over NYC
really? sun in always made my hair super soft and really brought out my highlights. i was already blonde but it definitely made my hair lighter and never damaged it either.
@@beverleyallred2640 I was going to ask that question! In the 90s two bottles of super sun in would lighten my (very long) hair right up in the sun, really easily and with little damage. I’d just been considering trying it again!
Just adding in my thoughts on the Sun Bum hair lightener: it does say on the front of the bottle “Blonde to Medium Brown Hair Types”. Not sure if the mannequin would be considered within that range. I have virgin dirty to honey blonde hair, with a lot of natural highlights that does lighten in the sun on it’s own, but I really liked the Sun Bum product because I could tell that my hair had lightened noticeably after 1 use, and my coworkers were asking if I had gotten highlights after 3 uses. Possibly because I have blonde hair it looks more natural on me because my natural highlights would have gotten blonde like that eventually, just would have taken all summer. It’s important to me to have products with the least amount of harmful ingredients (like phthalates & parabens), and if you are the same then I would highly recommend this product. - Canadian, Natural Blonde, not a hair dresser
I have natural blonde hair but it is more of a dishwater blonde in the winter. I have been using Sun In every time I'm out in the sun for a few hours. The pink bottle works better. It works well & looks like my hair normally looks in the summer.
I used Sun In at the beach, sprayed a good amount on the ends of my hair and it gave me a really nice subtle ombre ! Loved it if you wanted a natural subtle sun kissed look to your hair !
@@raspberrysherbet5285 After doing beach things I would just spray the wet ends of my hair and relax in the sun no brushing or anything but it probably would be better to brush it through
I've been using the John Frieda product for most of my life, and every summer it turns my hair from medium blonde to a very very light blonde. Its incredible!!!
So when I was younger before I ever bleached or dyed my hair, I used to use some version of sun-in to make my nateral highlights in my dirty blonde hair more noticable. It worked really well for that.
Natural red hair is usually pretty....chemical fry orange? Not so much,usually reminds me of the color of clown wigs. So don't be offended, make the world jealous with your gorgeous red 🤗
I remember using this when I went to a beach vacation when I was like 15, I went back to school with orange/yellow hair and dark brown roots, I was so proud 🥴
Sun in is really meant for blondes. I used it religiously for years, with great results. People always thought I had highlight and lowlights from the salon.
This brings back interesting memories of younger me with Sun In chilling in my hair... Loved the color it gave my super curly hair and it lasted for months.
My mom is the one who bought me sun in when I was a kid. She noticed that my hair would already get lighter in the sun on vacation so she bought it to lighten it faster. I still like the product today as it works great on blonde hair
I can’t believe that Sun In is still available. My friends used it during a trip to an amusement park 30 years ago, and it destroyed their hair. Their brown hair was orange and fried.
Lol i first used sun in in like 4th grade and it did the same thing but i like doused my hair. Definitely not for true brunettes. As someone with blonde hair that naturally lightens it works great to speed of the process but otherwise run
I used to be told when I was younger , citrus being acidic would “bleach” the hair. Some people I know would squeeze lemons on their damp hair and lay out in the sun to try and get a lightened look or highlights. If there’s some truth in it , maybe that’s why the sun in people and others use the citrus in their products, maybe ? On another note I was really surprised to see your concoction with the lemon juice ! I’m typing this as I watch the video. Thank you for the explanation about the damage and being so truthful with us.
YESSS!!! A couple years ago when I was a teenager I decided to try baking soda and apple cider vinegar to clean my hair instead of shampoo, I didn’t want my roots conditioned so I only put the apple cider vinegar on my hair from like my ears down. I did it all summer and my hair was drastically lighter on the parts where I put the apple cider vinegar, my natural roots were like a chocolate copper shade and from my ears down it faded into a ginger blonde shade but I didn’t know that’s what caused it at the time though lmao
Lemon juice will lighten hair. We did it as kids when we'd go to the beach. In a week I could go from a deep auburn to ginger. The key is deep conditioning every day though because it's crazy drying.
lsc66416 my iPad died before I could type the next part :( , if you mean about my hair...I’m a natural red head. Nothing I do unless I were to bleach , or soak my head in a vat of hydrogen peroxide changes the color, unless I do get a lot of sun and it gets lighter . But my skin is so fair I can’t take the sun on me . I was surprised at the results and rankings. Glad he made it clear that the home aid concoction cost like $30 when someone can pay $10 for the spray .
I've used Sun In my whole life and I've gotten a really nice blond color. At least, I like it 😂 I think it depends on how porous your hair is and you have to be consistent and use it when there's sunlight
Imagine living next to him and just seeing a dolls head chilling in his garden😂
This needs way more likes 🤣
Omg I’d call the cops if I didn’t know he was a hair dresser . That would be some serial killer type crap !
Lmaooo
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Since then I haven't done it. But, I had a great experience as a teen. ** I'm assuming the formula hasn't changed over the years **
Same! I was able to lighten my hair with only blow-drying it. I needed several applications though.
Yes that's how it's supposed to be used. I have natural red undertones to my dark blond hair and Sun In gave me really nice pale blond highlights. Better than any over the counter color to be honest.
Will it work if i just dyed my hair with box dye black?
@@MojoJojo-eg9yw Haha. Since you're watching this channel, I think you already know the answer to that!
I have level 3 hair, but started coloring my hair with hydrogen peroxide when I was about 13 and it always worked really well! I also used Sunin and it worked the same, but was more expensive so I just used hydrogen peroxide...
Y’all can listen to his tips on hair, but won’t listen when he calls you beautiful?? Don’t diss on yourself. Listen to Brad.

This is the most wholesome, beautiful thing I've read in a MINUTE 💖
Thank you for this 😭
Thank you 😥
BAHAHAHAHHAHS
I stole my sister's sun-in when I was in sixth grade and I was punished with ORANGE BANGS as a result. And I was too embarrassed to admit at school that I was intentionally trying to be ~blonde~ so when anyone asked my brilliant 11 year old self decided to say my hair had an allergic reaction to a new shampoo. And my freaking homeroom teacher followed my response with "and you only washed your bangs?" klfklflk DRAG ME, NANCY!
🤣🤣🤣
Ah, the logic of an 11yo. I used to teach, so I heard stuff like that for years.
i’m 11 and i’m not that stupid 💀😎 oh my gawd jk i’m very very stupid
I'm 13 now and I'd still probably do something dumb like this🤣🤣🤣
i'm almost 16 and i'd do something like that lmao
@@superdoofus 😂😂
Oh honey I tested this 25 years ago. I was a brassy pumpkin who felt edgy and cool and smelled like lemon pinesol.
Lol same my mom thought I was moping all the time lol
Lmao I was going to comment the same thing. I grew up in the 90s and have definitely used sun-in already 😂. What's worse, is I grew up poor and sun-in was too expensive so we'd usually just run a piece of lemon on our hair 😂
@@Rissy617 haha we did that too 💖
Same! Brown hair, middle school in 1989. I wanted the blonde hair I saw in the sun in ads in Seventeen! Unfortunately, beta carotene realness on top of my head was the reality 😆😆😆
I got very subtle highlights with Sun In.
I loved sun in as a teenager. I wasn’t allowed to dye my hair but I got the sun in. It looked nice and blonde because I already had a dirty blonde natural color. One of my favorite teenage memories ☀️
Industrial society and it's future
i'm currently not allowed to dye my hair T-T i was looking for alternatives that wouldn't be obvious but still lighten my hair to a light-brown colour
@@beee.333 just get lemon water and spray it in ur hair go out in the sun. if u want you can get 3% hydrogen peroxide and mix it in there with it for similar effects
I feel like this is just for dark blondes who want there hair more blonde. That already does happen a little bit naturally to dark blondes
So true. I wouldn't use this if I naturally had darker hair. As a blonde this shit is DANGEROUS. Lightens almost too much.
Yeah I’m dark blond and my hair already gets highlights from the sun in the summer
As a dark blonde i can confirm it worked perfectly for my hair when i was younger, but it seems like most people with brown/black hair shouldn’t use it! it’s not like it’ll be toned so it turns out orange
Julie Diana ya i’ve been using it since i was little cause i have dark blonde hair and natural highlights and even w out using it the sun works by its self but i think it works
I have dark blonde hair and can confirm. It just makes my hair look sunkissed all year. I think it only works for me because I naturally have some highlights already so sunin just amplifies that.
Sun in: don't use it on brown hair
Brad: well, we re gonna use it anyway
Brad: don't cut your own bangs
Me: well, i m gonna do it anyway
I'm preparing to shave part of my head. Brad never mentioned not shaving your head, so I'm gonna do it!
Natalie you can do it!!!
Totally agree, go for itt!!
Natalie nay nay! Brad ENCOURAGES shaving heads lol 😂
@@Natalie-rr7db just realize it takes a while to grow back..I got an undercut back in March and it's just now growing back enough to do something with. It looks super wonky since the rest of my hair is almost shoulder length.
OMG I USED THIS WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER AROUND 10 years ago! Can’t believe my mum allowed me to!!! Haha
Sun In was the first time I figured out I have some serious red undertones lmao went from brown to Ronald McDonald orange in a week 😩🤦🏻♀️😂
Omg same. Lol
I felt so cool at 14 with my pumpkin hair 🤦♀️
@@CatSpann omg yes i am in that exclusive club haha
@@juliam1090 hahahahah tell me about it!
I'm a blonde and while it DOES give me such brassy hair, it takes like 1 use of purple conditioner and it looks ashy and gorgeous
What purple conditioner do you use?
I have naturally dark brown hair, but have siblings with red and blonde hair so my hair pulls very warm undertones easily. It does naturally get lighter in the sun and by the end of summer, the bottom of my hair is noticeably a different color than the top haha. Well I was traveling for a month, surfing every day. Brilliant me thought I could accentuate my natural highlights by using Sun Bum. Unfortunately the Sun Bum plus the bright sun and salt water fried my hair. It's dry and very brassy-toned now. I am thinking of trying a purple shampoo to get a more cool-tone, but I'm scared because I heard that the purple shampoo can be particularly drying. Has anyone ever found this to be the case? What should I do?
@@beachnap you should try a purple conditioner instead, i used not your mother’s blonde moment toning purple hair mask after i bleached my hair and it made it really soft and healthy looking. i have only used it once so i don’t know how well it will tone hair with continuous use, but it did make my hair slightly less yellow. i’m not sure if it will get your hair to the tone you want but it’s very hydrating and repaired my hair after the bleach so i would suggest maybe trying it!! good luck :)
Brad, coming from an 80's girl you missed the point. With Sun In, the original formula, you got that lovely shade of orange with a nice brittle texture and breakage to boot. Which clearly is the only way to go... as we applied it to our dry hair before we spent hours of time sunbathing with our iodine and baby oil to give us that nice orange glow to the skin as well. After a couple days of that, you've got a stunning monochromatic summer look. That fantastic 80's look that was ALL the rage!
Haha, thanks for the memories. I so ruined my hair with this.
For me it was the 70's ! Mix a few drops of iodine into Hawaiian Tropics or Coppertone . The Sun In , or DIY lemon juice , peroxide and water ...some girls used vodka in the mix. I can smell it all now 😏
I'm sorry, did you say IODINE?! D:
@@Jane-oh4lz well of course not! D:
My mom loves telling me about how she and her friends went to the beach in the 80s and covered themselves in iodine. lol
I used Sun-In in the 90's--my grandmother (former old-school hair dresser) refused to let me actually dye my hair because of being a kid in school--on my 'mouse brown' hair. It did produce some very nice copper-ish highlights.
Around 2000, when the formula was changed, well...it didn't do anything anymore.
After that, my grandmother decided to just start mixing up lemon juice rinses and using those to produce natural highlights.
Actually...idea, Brad. How about testing at-home lightening methods--chamomile, vinegar, lemon juice, ect.--to see how they work? Or an old darkening method involving a sage tea rinse to darken hair?
DemonAngelSakina i live for this idea
I'm here for it!
Need the tea on this hair tea!
DemonAngelSakina I used it in the 80’s and it was mostly peroxide without much else. End of my finger tips went white. I was lucky that I was dark blonde so colour was ok but because I sprayed it all over my roots where not a good look 😂
Brad is one of the only people who can really boost my mood with his intros 😹❤️
Edit: omg I just checked my notifications tysm for the likes and BRAD LIKED MY COMMENT YALL NO WAY!
That is so true🤣
Yea lol I'm sitting here in my bed looking like a rat and hes like, "hi beautiful" lmao
I get more compliments from Brad then my family😂
I remember doing this 10 years ago but I used just straight lemon juice 😂
Edith Atkinson same
I remember using Sun In when I was 16 and went to California for a month during summer. I didn't even know how to use it cause the bottle was old and the directions were printed on and faded. I used it every night after a shower, blow dried my hair after applying it and some how using it with the way my hair naturally lightened in the sun, my hair ended up looking amazing like I had went to a salon and got highlights. I was so pleased.
Since more people are trying out the buzzcut during quarantine, will you do a vid on growing one out & how to style please? Thanks! 😊
I second this! I buzzed my hair as well.^^

I’ve been growing out a pixie cut and it’s sO much harder to figure out how to make it cute than I thought!!
OK.. so Brad used to be gentle with the dolls, he even talked to them, he was so nice, but now he just throws them on the floor and doesn’t even apologize for it:DDD

Hope that the dolls won't haunt Brad later😂😂
Quarantine has affected us all in different ways.

"I'll be sad if nothing happens." Girl, you and 7th grade me
I laughed way harder at this than I want to admit
This totally was a statement made by 7th grade me as well. I was sad IT DID DO SOMETHING to my hair 🤣😂afterwards. So orange and dry like straw.
Right??
It worked it just made my hair like orangey brown instead of blonde 😂
And well I did add lemon juice to it so there’s that- 😳
I’ve been using SunIn on my dark blonde hair for 15yrs. Thanks for not being a snob! I really appreciate it. Most stylists are like ‘Eww, you use SunIn? That’s horrible!’ 😒 I like it. It’s pretty subtle so I don’t have to worry about roots. I touch it up every 2-3 mos.
Same same :)
But you’re already blonde. So…..
how is your hair health? is your hair long?
"I tested sun in so you don't have to" Everyone from the 90s..... uhhhh....
Did this in the 80’s and it definitely works! I thought I looked pretty damn cool but what do I know?
I read "I tested sun so you don't have to" 😂
1990s teen from England here and yep used it almost daily during this holidays and mum encouraged it Hahahaha

And the 2000’s lol (me)
Fun fact: When I was in middle school, I used "Lightening Gel" to gel my hair into a bun... I didn't realize it was gel that lightens hair... so I was shook when my "roots" started changing copper... I thought I was sick, that something was in our well water... then one day I was at the store buying more gel when I finally realized it... smh
Omg I used to use that too when I was 7. Lol
I remember that gel !!!!!

I never used or even read the instructions of Sun In. When I was in beauty school, my color teacher literally told all of us it’s bleach in a bottle and it’ll make your hair fall out. I’m laughing now at the manipulation of hair stylists who desperately hate this DIY stuff because it take their money away. I stopped dying my hair over a year ago and I’ve been wanting something subtle with less damage than bleach or regular color. I’m considering a Sun In type product.

My cousin used to use it and her hair would turn like a piss yellow. Keep in mind her hair naturally is dark blonde/light brown. She asked if my sister and I (me with medium brown hair, sister with dark brown hair naturally) wanted to use it. Did nothing to our hair, or if it did, it was very subtle.
I- you came for that girl
🤣
My childhood best friend used it, her mom would put it in her hair everyday mine you we lived in Florida, there was basically never not sun. She wanted to bleach her hair, so that was her moms compromise lmao

Carrots?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brad, im Brazilian so sorry for the gramatical errors. I used to use sun in when i was like, 14y, me and my sister used for a long time, i really like the results but there is a problem, A BIG PROBLEM. When you bleach your hair that is already light because of the sun in, it literally FRIES YOUR HAIR, really. So it's important to keep in note that you SHOULD NOT BLEACH YOUR HAIR THAT IS ALREADY LIGHTING WITH SUN IN.

That’s an amazing idea. We love a smart queen
You are a latina, right? A Lot of girls do it here in Brazil!!
I’ve used Sun In since the late 80s. When I started in my teens, I was a light ash blonde. I always used it outdoors - it used to smell stronger and more like peroxide. It generally lightened my hair, especially the top layer, to almost my childhood white blonde.
In the 90s when my hair thickened and lengthened to a medium ash, I switched to braiding my wet hair and spraying it before a day in the sun - did it once a month through the fall, gave me great highlights about 2 shades lighter.
By the 00s, the formula had changed - and so had my hair. It was medium caramel and the new version brought out more red/orange tones, and was very drying. So I switched to using it with a wide tooth comb and hair dryer to control where I wanted highlights, a couple times in summer.
Now I’m in my 40s, my is deep caramel blonde - the roots are light brown but fade naturally to a medium blonde with red tones. I don’t use Sun In because I think the contrast would be too great and the new formula does tend to bring out the orange.
I'm 41 and also came to make the same statement, that at one point the formula changed and it wasn't the same after that.
I had no clue Sun In still existed lol!! I loved it because I could give myself subtle highlights without it being damaging. I am pretty sure the last time I used it was the Summer of '97 lol.

LMAO I literally came here to comment the same thing
SAME! But I did go blonde from a dark/medium brown natural color
Same 😂😂 my hair was YELLOW
my mom uses sun in religiously. it’s turned her hair from a mousey brown to an actual blonde. people believe it’s natural. i’ve never used it and i’ve always been cautious about it but it really did work for her.
And it didn’t damage her hair? My hair felt so damaged and dry and brittle. This was 30 years ago so they may have improved plus I probably used too much 🤷🏽♀️
@@deandrajohnson1973 one of my guy friends from school used it, he had super dark brown hair. It destroyed his. It turned orange and got crispy. His mom lost her mind. 😂 he had to shave his head eventually. Idk what else he did to it tho. It was so bad. Edited to add that this was probably about 25 yrs ago.
When i was young my hair went from almost white to dark blonde from ages 5-11 and my grandmother started putting sunin in my hair around the age of 9ish 😅😅😅 she thought it was natural. It did take my hair to a pretty light blonde again. When i got older and wanted to start dying my hair she would always say "oh honey...you just need a lil sunin, thats all!!"
😅😅😅 god rest her soul. She was a hippy so she was stoned most of the time. That explains it.
Same for my mom! It gave her dull light brown hair faint highlights that really show in the sun
My mum uses it too! But her hair is super super fine and I think it works well in her hair. It worked in my hair great when my hair was blonde when I was a kid. It would turn my hair super blonde.
Once my hair turned brown as a teenager - forget it. I looked like someone dumped a caramel milkshake over my head .
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see this done on blonde or dirty blonde natural hair. Generally natural hair is going to show more color variation and highlights from the sun than a synthetic or dyed base would.

I've used Sun In for a few years and I like the results. Instead of going out to the sun, I blow dry & use a hair straightening iron to lighten my hair. It works, but it takes multiple applications.
I have dark hair on the finer side, so maybe that's why my results weren't red/orange like other dark haired girls. I also didn't notice any hair damage.
Fun tip: Apply only to your face framing hair strands to get face framing highlights!! It works if you apply a few times!!
I love this stuff! I think it works decently for me because I have dirty blonde hair. I think it says on the bottle I use to not use on dark hair. It just gives me natural highlights.
I've done the same! But I stopped because so many people said it was bad 😂 I didn't think my hair looked awful either
I love it because it takes my dirty blonde hair and make it just a little lighter to a honey blonde color. I would put it on my hair in the morning of a softball tournament and by the end of the day my hair was 2 shades lighter.

I started using Sun In when I was around 15. I was strawberry blonde and my hair started getting darker which I didn’t like. When I realized the main ingredient was hydrogen peroxide, I just refilled the bottle with straight hydrogen peroxide and have been lightening my hair like this for pennies ever since. I blow dry it and then wash it. I am now 57 and have never damaged my hair. Not sure if the mannequin hair was the best test (don’t know if that is human hair). Also I’ve also noticed that the lightening effect really shows after my hair is washed, which it seems wasn’t done in this test. (Just sayin’) Obviously I like the result on me, since I’ve been doing it for over 40 years. If my hair was naturally darker, it might have turned orange but it works for me.
That's great! I've been considerating doing the same. did you use some toning product? like blue shampoo? my hair is a light brown, so I think it may get brassy at some point

Oh Brad, as early 2000's me would tell you, you're gonna need a few months. Lol

I find Brad so interesting and relaxing. Even when I don't care about the product, I love watching him.
When he's saying Sun Bum smells just like a certain sunscreen/oil, I think he's referring to Hawaiian Tropic. Which is my favorite, it helps give you a great tan but omf it just smells like summer to me now. So tropical and amazing. 😍 Anywho, my mom used to use Sun In and it seemed to work for her. She preferred doing smaller pieces like her highlights and not all over, but it's literally in my bathroom right now. 😂 I have extremely dark brown hair with black in some areas, and reddish blonde highlights (all naturally somehow, thanks Irish and Portuguese genes lmao) and it never seemed to work quite as well on mine. Her hair is a muuuch lighter brown/golden blonde, and it works way better for her lol. It isn't drastic, and I wouldn't recommend using it constantly as it does make your hair feel dry after a while. I'm guessing from the peroxide and lemon juice. But it does help "refresh" blonder parts of the hair, in my opinion. Definitely shouldn't replace going to a pro, but it's cool for when you're at the beach/pool and just want a tiny bit of a boost for your highlights.
Yeah let’s damage both the skin and the hair in the sun at the same time 😍👌🏻
I'm also lusodescendant (mixed with African), and also have some red-ish blonde highlights, cool to find someone else who has those!
So I really like sun bums products, but if you use too much it might effect the hairs consistently and texture.

@@HelloThereIAmAlice Lol yeah, it isn't the healthiest thing but it happens. I mainly used them when I was in high school or younger, not so much anymore, but my skin also tans easier now than it used to even when I use sunscreen, which I don't really understand lol.
Im a natural blonde and I have used the John Frieda spray for years whenever I wanted to brighten my hair. It works well but it definitely needs a purple shampoo to ensure it doesn’t go yellow. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with brown hair though - my friend did this and she ended up a brassy as hellllllll and ginger.
When I was a kid we didn’t have Sun-In, we used lemon juice and then went to swim practice at the community pool 😂

I've been a hairdresser for 20 years and Sun in was HUUUUUGE in the UK when I was training. It was nothing but an absolute nightmare, it contained metallic salts (back then) and you literally can't put any chemical process on top of it, which was a bummer in the 90s when everyone wanted a perm.
I've seen women walk in the salon with nothing but short tufts of broken hair clinging to their scalp where they coloured or permed their hair over it and it snapped clean off.
It got banned in the UK for obvious reasons 😂😂
@Siobhanpeter I bought a bottle today from Walmart and it says right on the back the it contains NO metallic dyes.
🤔
damn thats rough
Sonnys Mummy I was a big user of sun in back in the 90s and had no idea it was banned! Do you think those metallic salts could’ve posed a health hazard as well as a hair hazard? I’m chronically ill and trying to detox heavy metals. Never occurred to me that some could’ve come from hair products, and not sure whether it’s nonsense to consider it!
Can you put purple shampoo over brown hair that has sun in spray I am thinking of doing that for blond hair since purple shampoo cancels out orange tones right??? It'll mean a lot if u answer because It'll be amazing so I don't damage my hair. Have a good day. :)))

The first time I EVER colored my hair (at 13 years old), I used sun-in. My mom wouldn’t let me actually color my hair so I bought some of this stuff. I’d use it after every shower, so like 1-2 times a week, then blow dry. It got my natural brown/dark copper to a cute caramel color. I haven’t used it since bc I’ve been using Sally’s products for the last 10 years, but I was happy with the results at the time and it smelled amazing.
Wait...you only showered 1-2 times a week??? Oh no...
@@CosmicEremite I think she meant she’d use the product after taking a shower only 1-2 times a week. Meaning she only used the product 1 or 2 times a week after a shower.
It’s crazy everybody saying it’s horrible, my hair is naturally dark brown if not almost black and I used it before I ever bleached my hair. And it made my hair a really light brown. You just have to sit in the sun and use a lot of it.
same! like it worked good for me and hair doesn't look almost black anymore. i also get a lot of compliments on it.
Same!! When I was in kindergarten, my mom sprayed sun-in in my hair which is naturally a medium ashy brown thinking it wasn't going to do much, maybe only gonna give me subtle highlights, but I ended up coming home from school blonde lol!
i have a darker blonde/light brown hair and i use this a lot to make my hair lighter and it works. i usually blow dry my hair with it in and it works perfectly. i’ve used it for many years and nothing has happened to my hair, but i take care of my hair so it’s not damaged
Works for me too!
@@sam-reneee yeah I do it with a blow dryer sometimes which works just as good for me.
Talking about orange hair... I was at Sally's, and this girl asked the assistant a good toner for orange hair. And guess what she recommended, yeah TWO T18 boxes! I heard Brad cringing for the trillion time after she bought them.
I never ask the girls at sallys for advice. Ever.

I used to work at Sally’s and, I was only the one with certification for coloring and advice at my location. I used to cringe so hard when the others would try. The best caveat I can give is: You take your hair in your hands anytime you do anything to it yourself. Lol results vary.
wait thats not what I should use.... what should I use then?
Could you do a video testing some natural lighteners like lemon, chamomile, and others?
Yeeeesss!!!
I used chamomille shampoo when I was younger and I loved it. Very subtle and gradual, but it actually makes your hair a bit lighter without the damage.
Thanks. That’s really helpful😀
I’ve been using John Frieda’s for almost 5 years on my natural light brown hair and it leaves it with beautiful golden highlights. Looks very natural and keeps my hair very healthy. I only use it once per month to brighten my hair. I get a lot of compliments and it has made me save a fortune in salon appointments.
Is John Frieda better than other lighters? I have brunette hair
@@LYlmaz unfortunately I haven’t found it again since 2 years ago. I stopped lightening my hair and now is even healthier and fuller ❤️
I used the John Frieda leave-in hair lightening spray once when I couldn't get hold of Sun-In. I'd been using Sun-In for years with good results - my hair is naturally mousey blonde and I like that sun-kissed look that you can get from Sun-In, but the John Frieda stuff made my hair so fragile and it broke off. Absolute disaster. Would never use it again. I'll stick to Sun-In in future.
who else was kinda hoping that brad would try it on HIS hair???
just me...
ok :(
Maya temple me
Me 🤣
He doesn’t want to ruin his hair. I respect that.
Just you XD. .. We are know brad would not put his hair at risk
Honestly half the time I expect him to use his hair but doesn’t. Doesn’t using a human hair with proteins and stuff affect the outcome of products?
I’m only seeing negative reviews about sun in so here’s a positive one: I’ve used it for the last 10 years and it doesn’t look orange, it doesn’t look damaged, and I’m confident it’s healthier than if I would’ve used bleach 😬 I have really dark hair and with the spray it looks light brown and copperish. Personally I love it 😔
I love sun in to! I used to use it all the time on my natural hair and it looked great I got some many compliments. Now that I dyed my hair dark of course I don't use sun in anymore. But I don't have anything bad to say about the product.
Me too!
Same ❤️ I love my hair
Just a disclaimer DO NOT GO BLEACH, DYE, OR DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT IF YOU USE SUN IN I don’t know if you already know this but there are a lot of people who say that when you do that it can severely damage your hair with the chemical reaction
.... Copperish=orange
I’m blond and have used this type of product every summer for maybe more than 10 years 🤷🏼♀️ It’s not a one day change thing.... When summer is coming I just spray some after shower once every 10 days and when summer comes my hair is lighter and I sometimes use a purple conditioner to tone it. I never use heat when I have the product in my hair because the few times I tried to do it my hair gets damaged. Just my experience 🙆🏼♂️
Yeah I use the Sun Bum version of this stuff and it works well for my dirty blonde hair! What purple conditioner do you use for it??
Ash Bath I use ELEVEN Australia ‘keep my colour’. It also a hydrates the hair, this is the one I have available where I’m living now, I always buy the purple conditioner at a professional hair care store. And always conditioner, shampoo is too hard on my hair
what ive noticed about "sun in" when i used it was that it brought out my natural highlights faster than normal when sitting in the sun
I use John Frieda one for several years now on my virgin hair. I do this once every 3 months. My virgin hair is mousy brown/grey but with this they look sunkissed and people compliment my hair a lot and they ask where I colour my hair so they look so effortlessly beachy. But it is just this spray. Only thing we have different packaging in Europe, not so comfortable as this looks.
I have the same hair colour and use it too and get compliments. Sometimes it can look a little yellow, but it’s more like a golden blonde.
Many girls in school who were light blone as kids and darkened to dark blone as teens used it. Some of them had splotchy results. Application technique is important
jelenalahtina Same! Just has to be used carefully like you said (only every 2-3 months) and I also do a purple shampoo mask to make sure it won’t be yellow 🤣
Brad should have his own show like James
👇🏼Like if you agree
He does it’s just not as popular “Mando Makeovers”
Kinda I guess
Ya
🤔
A competition with amateurs doing all things hair! 😍
I haven't heard anyone talk about sun-in since the 90s, as adolescents we all used it because it's the only thing our parents would allow 😂 all the mustard yellow haired kids
True my mom wouldn't allow when me dye my hair back in middle school so she got me sun in to use and omg it turned my hair some burnt reddish color and didn't notice until my grandma asked why hair was red lol
This is the first dye job I ever had!
Literally all my old pictures from like 5th-8th grade my hair was orange af. 😂😂🤦♀️
Yesssssss
It actually looked really nice in my hair almost golden
When I was a teenager back in the 80s, before I started getting salon highlights, I used to use Sun In. I had naturally dirty blonde hair, and I LOVED it. It definitely lightened it several shades. I don't know if the formula has changed since then:)
That’s so cool!! What did the 80s feel like??
Saves a lot of money for sure wow
Brad- "hey beautiful"
Me- smiling like the half asleep swamp creature I really am "hi brad"
Ashley Hensley 😂😂
Isn’t “Sun- in” supposed to be mostly for people who are already blonde?
Ideally yes!
You can also use it to lighten brown hair a bit as well.
Kimberly Schouppe I wouldn’t recommend brunettes use it though. Especially medium brown or darker
i used it with pretty dark brown hair about 4 years ago and actually got an amazing sun kissed blonde look. it wasn’t brassy or orange anything
I remember it also saying to only use it on natural hair with no previous added color
Anyone else feel like, “What did we do? Is he mad at us?” because we didn’t get an elaborate complimentary intro?
Maybe he was bored of the hundred of same comments about that😂
Hahaha I was came here just so I could be complimented while looking like a troll.
I actually rewound because I missed it.
Brad, You don’t have to go out in the sun. I’m a old time user, who used it back in the seventies. I had light brown hair and used it a few times a year. It turned my hair a strawberry blonde. Loved it. Being a boomer, No Sun in now, gray now, lol. 😳Oh, you are right. It does damage. I always wondered why my hair felt like straw, lol 😆 again. Thanks for trying it out.
Everyone in america: ItS 95 DeGreeS ToDAy
Me in europe: OMG is the city on fire?
Amanda come to south Louisiana. 95 is normal.
Edit: 95 F (35 C)
I mean fahrenheit/celsius
Lol, in SC it's too humid for 88 degrees to start fires
@Dorothy lol, come visit for a hike if you're so sure about that.
@@Lily_of_the_Forest same in Florida
I feel like Sun-In is just for people who want their hair to go with their spray tan.
Hey. Don’t hate on fake tans! Better than melanoma
Mikayla Stewart but accepting ur skin for what it is is bettee
Rosalie Bugey Melanoma literally means when the pigment cells of your skin causes cancer 🤨
Brianna yomama yes UV rays from the sun do cause cancer
Rosalie Bugey You responded to Brianna saying Mikayla didn’t say anything about cancer when Mikayla clearly mentioned Melanoma.
I only take two things seriously
1. When Brad Mondo says Hi Beautiful and
2. A kid saying you are ugly
If you're going to use one of these, the John Frieda creates the least risk if you're going to highlight the hair in the future. To my knowledge it mainly works on blonds, but it def works, which is why its always sold out all over NYC
All the girls that used Sun-In in high school ended up with orange fried hair.
Yes, we did. 😹🙌🏻
Ok wow, personal attack lol
False!!! Completely virgin hair never fried never even dyed or bleached other than sun in 😂😂😂
my mom😹😹
really? sun in always made my hair super soft and really brought out my highlights. i was already blonde but it definitely made my hair lighter and never damaged it either.
SunI In, Throwback to the 80’s. Didn’t know this stuff was still around.
They changed it since then, doesn't lighten as much now
It's been around for thirty years.
@@beverleyallred2640 I was going to ask that question! In the 90s two bottles of super sun in would lighten my (very long) hair right up in the sun, really easily and with little damage. I’d just been considering trying it again!
I just realized how much I needed to hear someone say, "Hey beautiful," today🥺😔
Just adding in my thoughts on the Sun Bum hair lightener: it does say on the front of the bottle “Blonde to Medium Brown Hair Types”. Not sure if the mannequin would be considered within that range. I have virgin dirty to honey blonde hair, with a lot of natural highlights that does lighten in the sun on it’s own, but I really liked the Sun Bum product because I could tell that my hair had lightened noticeably after 1 use, and my coworkers were asking if I had gotten highlights after 3 uses. Possibly because I have blonde hair it looks more natural on me because my natural highlights would have gotten blonde like that eventually, just would have taken all summer. It’s important to me to have products with the least amount of harmful ingredients (like phthalates & parabens), and if you are the same then I would highly recommend this product.
- Canadian, Natural Blonde, not a hair dresser
with what I'm struggling with right now Brad really is one of the only people that can make me happy
I definitely used sun in during my teen years 😂 but I’m naturally blonde so nothing terrible ever happened to me. But it definitely made my hair dry
I’m a teen rn and also blonde, it helps keep my hair blonde and never is dry, hmm...
I used it too as a teen on my natural blonde hair😆Turned my hair brassy and dry.
I miss being a teenager. That's prime time to experiment with your hair!
Jade Crosley Any ideas for me to try out then? Experiments?
KLynn Owie
Hey, who would want brad to react to curly girls using hair wax to color their hair. Like if you want to🤗🤗
Great video btw thanks brad🤗👍🏼
Wait...what?! That sounds...I dont even know actually. I just picture one big horrifying mess. I'm going to have to look this up lol
Omg I needa see that
J_ jenkins go for it, it great for us curly girls to switch up our looks without damaging our hair😍

@@ska_boodles thanks
I have natural blonde hair but it is more of a dishwater blonde in the winter. I have been using Sun In every time I'm out in the sun for a few hours. The pink bottle works better. It works well & looks like my hair normally looks in the summer.
I used Sun In at the beach, sprayed a good amount on the ends of my hair and it gave me a really nice subtle ombre ! Loved it if you wanted a natural subtle sun kissed look to your hair !
@@raspberrysherbet5285 After doing beach things I would just spray the wet ends of my hair and relax in the sun no brushing or anything but it probably would be better to brush it through
To the person Who is Reading this : you are beautiful and hope you Will have a Nice day and i think you dropped this brad👑👑❤️
:))
You are beautiful 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Your amazing that’s literally brightened my day ❤️
This is the content we need!
I've been using the John Frieda product for most of my life, and every summer it turns my hair from medium blonde to a very very light blonde. Its incredible!!!
So when I was younger before I ever bleached or dyed my hair, I used to use some version of sun-in to make my nateral highlights in my dirty blonde hair more noticable. It worked really well for that.
"Your hair will turn bright red and you don't want that"
Me, a redhead - OFFENDED.
😂😂
Natural red hair is usually pretty....chemical fry orange? Not so much,usually reminds me of the color of clown wigs. So don't be offended, make the world jealous with your gorgeous red 🤗
Don’t mind me I just chopped off half my hair and went copper/orange, got compared to a Duracell battery...
Everything anti-ginger offends me. People have been trying to make me feel bad about my hair since I was 5
Brassy fried hair = awful. Natural ginger hair? Gorgeous.
Brad: screw the sun-in, let's talk about sprayers!
I loveeee sprayers
@@BradMondo omg lol
I remember using this when I went to a beach vacation when I was like 15, I went back to school with orange/yellow hair and dark brown roots, I was so proud 🥴
Sun in is really meant for blondes. I used it religiously for years, with great results. People always thought I had highlight and lowlights from the salon.
This brings back interesting memories of younger me with Sun In chilling in my hair... Loved the color it gave my super curly hair and it lasted for months.
I used to buy this stuff because my parents wouldn't let me experiment with my hair lol I told them it was sea salt spray😂🌞
Did the exact same thing 😁
@@AnneStanDesigns we found a loophole heehee
Me too lol
My mom is the one who bought me sun in when I was a kid. She noticed that my hair would already get lighter in the sun on vacation so she bought it to lighten it faster. I still like the product today as it works great on blonde hair
I can’t believe that Sun In is still available. My friends used it during a trip to an amusement park 30 years ago, and it destroyed their hair. Their brown hair was orange and fried.
another lady in the comments said almost the same thing! i’m wondering if she’s one of your friends!! 😸
yess
Lol i first used sun in in like 4th grade and it did the same thing but i like doused my hair. Definitely not for true brunettes. As someone with blonde hair that naturally lightens it works great to speed of the process but otherwise run
I have been using sun in for years now and it has kept my hair a very pretty blonde!!! So many compliments!
I used to be told when I was younger , citrus being acidic would “bleach” the hair. Some people I know would squeeze lemons on their damp hair and lay out in the sun to try and get a lightened look or highlights. If there’s some truth in it , maybe that’s why the sun in people and others use the citrus in their products, maybe ? On another note I was really surprised to see your concoction with the lemon juice ! I’m typing this as I watch the video. Thank you for the explanation about the damage and being so truthful with us.
YESSS!!! A couple years ago when I was a teenager I decided to try baking soda and apple cider vinegar to clean my hair instead of shampoo, I didn’t want my roots conditioned so I only put the apple cider vinegar on my hair from like my ears down. I did it all summer and my hair was drastically lighter on the parts where I put the apple cider vinegar, my natural roots were like a chocolate copper shade and from my ears down it faded into a ginger blonde shade but I didn’t know that’s what caused it at the time though lmao
Ooh. Can you update once done?
Lemon juice will lighten hair. We did it as kids when we'd go to the beach. In a week I could go from a deep auburn to ginger. The key is deep conditioning every day though because it's crazy drying.
Lemon+ green tea or chamomile tea to enhance natural shine
lsc66416 my iPad died before I could type the next part :( , if you mean about my hair...I’m a natural red head. Nothing I do unless I were to bleach , or soak my head in a vat of hydrogen peroxide changes the color, unless I do get a lot of sun and it gets lighter . But my skin is so fair I can’t take the sun on me . I was surprised at the results and rankings. Glad he made it clear that the home aid concoction cost like $30 when someone can pay $10 for the spray .
Don’t got to tell me Brad . I used it when I was in high school!! it definitely lightened my hair I don’t really remember it doing much damage
Okay but why are all of his outfits so iconic and just ✨
I've used Sun In my whole life and I've gotten a really nice blond color. At least, I like it 😂 I think it depends on how porous your hair is and you have to be consistent and use it when there's sunlight
Nah, that blonde looks super fake.
@@Kirsten_is_cursed10 the fact that you're mean to people you don't even know shows how unhappy and miserable you really are. I'm sorry for you, hun
I think it's because you have a nice light natural color too so it's perfect for you. I think your hair looks great btw!
@@Kirsten_is_cursed10 worry about those bangs before you start pointing out anyone else's hair girl.
@@AtlasEve thanks a lot! 💕 I think you're right, it usually works on lighter hair better from what I've heard
