I was looking at some old "breakdancing" competitions my friends and I were in on FB and we were busting up about how much Sun In we used to use in our hair!!! Nothing like orange/red hair!!!

    It was great if you wanted your hair color somewhere between Golden Retriever and Irish Setter.

    I think it worked fine for my hair since it's so thick and coarse. Lol, funniest thing I remember was always helping my boys spray their hair and then them sayin' "Don't spray any on my clothes!!" HAHAHAHAHAHA.

    Did they have Sun In back in the early 70's when I still had some hair?

    I used sun in when I was in middle school and high school since I was not allowed to dye my hair. I look at old pictures and laugh now.

    used it - I have redish hair anyway - so I had the nice orange/copper tint. When curlfree came out I thought I died and gone to heaven, between the two my hair was always "crispy"

    i did once. the oh so fashionable copper hair didn't quite go with my natural colouring! i thought it was great for about a month.. then i wondered what the hell i was thinking!

    I have natural "orange hair" anyway, but back then I so wanted to be a blond! Tried everything, Sun-In, lemon juice. Got to strawberry blond...but sadly never blond. Now I wouldn't change it. This hair color is our family legacy. You should see my grandkids!

    Yes, I used it in 8th grade MANY years ago. It did turn my brown hair lighter - not really orange though - but then as it grew out, i had a big brunette racing stripe down my part. Yikes!
