We've Got Answers

How Often Should You Tone Blonde Hair?

Toning blonde hair depends on your color and how often it fades. For most, using a toner every 3–4 weeks is ideal. If you notice brassiness creeping in earlier, introduce a purple shampoo to your routine to maintain that fresh-from-the-salon glow. Your blonde, your rules—but consistency is key to keeping it just the way you love it.

How Do You Keep Blonde Hair Vibrant?

Keeping your blonde vibrant is all about the right routine. A great purple shampoo helps neutralize brassy tones while boosting brightness. Pair that with a deep conditioner once a week to lock in moisture and prevent dryness—because hydrated hair is happy hair. And don’t forget to protect your strands from the sun with products that offer UV protection—because a little love goes a long way in keeping your blonde locks looking their best.

Q&A

Hello I really want to use this product but I’m nervous that it will turn my hair orange wont look natural or will be spoty. Do you have any application tips to minimize the chance of this happening?
Hey Elizabeth, totally valid question! When it comes to our Hair Lightener, it's important to remember that due to its active ingredients, your hair color will gradually become lighter. Depending on how dark your hair was to begin with, it could create the orange-ish tint you are inquiring about. Just as if you were getting a salon service, you'll need to tone your hair to enhance the lightening process. This is why we recommend that you use our Hair Lightener with our Tone Enhancer or a purple shampoo of some sort, in order to neutralize that brassiness. We suggest trying it on an inconspicuous piece of hair first to see if you like the results! xo, SB
How would I use this blonde hair lighter with a hair dryer? Or what is the best method to use a hairdryer with it
Hey Wyatt, Thanks so much for reaching out and trusting the bum! What makes the Hair Lightener work is a lightening blend of ingredients which includes hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the melanin in the hair which causes it to lighten, and heat is what speeds up the results. Although sun is ideal, you can totally use a blow dryer with the Hair Lightener! Since this product is heat-activated, either blow drying your hair or spending time out in the sun after applying the product will speed up the lightning results. Just keep in mind that the product is intended to be used slowly and gradually, no more than 2-3 times per week. Hope this helps! ☀️ xo, SB
I have light brown curly hair, and after shampooing and conditioning my hair in the shower, I style my hair with a leave-in conditioner and a gel. I am curious to know if this product will work well when my hair is slightly saturated with products, and if does, where does it fit into my routine?
Hi Fatima, Thanks so much for reaching out! There's no need to wash your hair again after applying the Hair Lightener. After you shampoo, condition, and towel-dry your hair, you can just spray the product on whichever sections of hair you want to lighten. Since the Hair Lightener is heat-activated, blow drying your hair or spending time out in the sun after applying the product will speed up the lightening results. You can incorporate a leave-in product as well if you'd like, since the Hair Lightener is not intended as a leave-in conditioner replacement. And just be sure to keep in mind: The Hair Lightener is intended to be used slowly and gradually. We advise against using the product more than 2 or max 3 times a week, as it could cause hair breakage and damage hair if overused. Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at hey@sunbum.com ☀️ With love, Sun Bum
Will the lightener cause brassiness in dirty blondes?
Hi Pickle, When it comes to our Hair Lightener, it's important to remember that due to its active ingredients, your hair color will gradually become lighter. Depending on how dark your hair was to begin with it could pull the orange-ish tint you are inquiring about. Just as if you were going to get a salon service you will need to tone your hair to enhance the lightening process. It's 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 on our website’s contact page or check with your stylist for more info. With love, Sun Bum
I have naturally dirty blonde hair, and I recently used a senna treatment to strengthen it and make it silkier. The treatment added a tiny bit of gold to my hair, but the effect is barely noticeable. Is this product safe to use on my senna-treated hair?
