Many people say that blondes have the most fun when it comes to dyeing their hair. However, blondies may face one big dilemma: a tendency to get unwanted brassy hair. Without further ado, let’s start this review with a brief introduction about the brand itself and what they stand for. Basically, fragrance is not the worst thing for you. But it is also not the best. Fragrance is added to Sun Bum Hair Lightener Spray to give it a nice scent that customers love. However, not all customers are equal. People with sensitive scalps may have allergic reactions to fragrances. Polysorbate 20As time goes on, this can build up on your hair, making your hair look dull and easy breakage.

Disodium Phosphate Results of a woman with highlighted wavy hair who took Sun Bum 2-3 days a week. After a month, her hair looks lighter than before, especially in the highlighted part.
