How to apply Sun In the right way to not damage your hair
The first thing you should consider is your hair’s base color.
If your color is dark or medium, you shouldn’t apply Sun In. Otherwise, your hair will turn orange.[/suhighlight]
So, in which colors can the product be applied?
- Blonde 7
- Light blonde 8
- Very light blonde 9
- Hair with blonde highlights
If your hair is in the range of those colors, and you want to apply Sun In to lighten it naturally, you should plan to prevent damage.
Remember that it’s nice to have sun-kissed hair, but which is also frizz-free.
So, if you’re determined, you can apply it once or twice a week to your lighter hair.
But, if you want to apply it 3 times or more, I recommend that you prepare your hair as if you were going to bleach it. Yes, just like you read it.
If you decide to use Sun In more than three times a week, you should protect it as if you were going to bleach it. Bleach is a more than aggressive chemical process.
How do you do it?
I’ll tell you right now.
How to prepare your hair if you plan to use Sun In very often
- Apply coconut oil from roots to tips 4 hours before.
- Use keratin moisturizing shampoo and conditioner every time you wash your hair.
- Use ends repair oils during the day to prevent dryness.
Once you follow these steps, your hair will be healthy and strong to resist the effects of Sun In.
However, I must be honest. As a professional stylist, I advise or, rather, I beg you not to abuse Sun In. Twice a week will be enough to lighten your hair.
If you decide to play with your hair and apply Sun In every day, you’ll have to face the consequences. It’ll never be enjoyable for your hair fiber.
Do you know how to apply Sun In?
Application is very simple thanks to its sprayer. It works well to apply and distribute it evenly.
- Apply Sun In 6 inches away from your hair on wet and untangled hair
- Once you finish applying it, comb it again to distribute the product
- Use the hairdryer at medium or high temperature until Sun In is completely dry
You’ll notice that your hair has lighter highlights from the first application. That’s why once or twice a week is more than enough to lighten your hair without damaging it.
Note: if you notice your hair is dry, brittle, or dull after the first application, stop using it immediately and start moisturizing your hair.

Do you remember Sun In’s formula?
Let’s recap: peroxide, ammonia and lemon juice. Add the heat from the hairdryer for components to work perfectly.
Then, of course, you’ll notice your hair drier, no matter how often you use Sun In.
Luckily, I’m coming to rescue you, and I’ll tell you several ways to repair your hair before the damage is irreversible.
