Personal Review
After using the Sun Bum Lighten & Tone Kit only twice, I definitely saw results. The first day, I used it before going out in the sun, and noticed that my usual dark strawberry blonde hair had gotten more blonde highlights--something that usually doesn't happen until mid-summer with regular doses of lemon juice.
I still wanted to go a little lighter, so I tried it again later in the week. I used my blow dryer this time, and the results were amazing. My hair still looks like my hair; I didn't go from dark strawberry blonde to bleach blonde in a week. Instead, I just expedited the summer highlights I usually get from a full summer in the sun. Plus, the tone enhancer kept my hair moisturized and soft. I absolutely love the results, and am excited to see how it will continue to boost my highlights as the weather gets warmer.
