Q: Does this work on hair that has been dyed a medium ash blonde color?
A: Hey there! Yes, it's perfect for that :) It's also highly recommended that you use our Hair Lightener with our Tone Enhancer or a purple shampoo of some sort, in order to neutralize that brassiness. If you have any further questions on how to proceed, feel free to reach out to us or your stylist for more info. Hope this helps <3 xo, SB

Q: Hi, is this okay to use on 11 or 12 year olds? And if so can someone write back quick? One of my daughters wants it but I don't know if it's okay for her. (And we are going tomorrow)
A: Hi Audrey, thanks so much for reaching out! Everyone's hair is different! What makes this product work is a lightening blend of ingredients including hydrogen peroxide, which oxidizes the melanin in the hair causing it to lighten. This product is intended to be used slowly and gradually and should be used on dry or damp hair directly to areas you want affected. We would recommend that you use the product no more than 2 or max 3 times a week in order to avoid hair breakage and damage. If you have any further questions on how to proceed, feel free to reach out to us on our website’s contact page or check with your stylist for more info. With love, Sun Bum
