    Not sure it’s a good thing but I got desperate and used Sun In all over my roots. Then I toned the brass with violet crush shampoo and conditioner. It’s such a pretty shade of copper now that I don’t want to go back to the salon and mess it up, lol. Sometimes a screw up isn’t a screw up

    I considered using Sun-In but I think my hair would be too dark for it to work on so decided against it, that’s great it worked for you! :) I’ve used purple shampoo/conditioner before but I’ve discovered blue shampoo/conditioner works even better on my hair to keep the brass toned.

    please don't - just don't do sun in. i did it umpteen years ago and regretted it mightily. you have to have the right complexion for that. your hair is SO nice right now!

    Thanks :) I read equally good and bad reviews for Sun-In, you are right it requires the right shade of hair to begin with or the result will just end up brassy and damaged. I did not find a single hair expert video that recommends it either. I won’t be using it but I admit it’s tempting because it’s such an inexpensive option.

    i did it forty years ago when i was 17. i'm sure it was sheer peroxide. initially the color sortakinda looked like farrah fawcett circa 1979 but as time and REAL sun got at it * i worked outside all summer cutting cords of wood and planting flowers without a hat though*- it got super brassy. cringey 100 percent lol

    When the pandemic first started, all the establishments closed, including hairdressers. It was terrible because my best friend dyed and curled her hair correctly. I had to learn how to dye my hair and curl it myself. As you said, it's all thanks to YouTube videos and several articles dedicated to curling hair with a curling iron -- besthairadvisor.com. Now I rarely go to hairdressers because I have learned to do a lot myself, and thanks to the pandemic, I now don't spend a lot of money on hairdressing services!
