I tried it long ago. My advice: Don't do it! --I got very broken, damaged and fragile hair. Oh, it was cute--for a little while, but in the end totally NOT worth it!
[/ QUOTE ]
EXACTAMUNDO!!! I tried this back in high school and it made my hair DRY, HARD AND BRITTLE.

Dang...thought I was the only one acting a fool trying this mess out. I bought it back in 8th grade (I'm 30 now) and broke my hair totally off! My mom went off on me because she TOLD my *** it was not for black folks to use. All of the little white girls I use to hang with so I thought I could do what they were doing...boy was I wrong. Don't buy that mess. I can't believe they brought that mess back out.

I used it a long, long time ago...I don't think it damaged my hair, but it turned it a reddish color. I believe it is for blonde or light brown hair, so don't expect blonde highlites if you have dark hair. I can't remember if I liked it, I dont think the results were too dramatic, considering all the things I have done to my hair since then.

I have used it with no problems. But I dont lighten it extremely, just a shade or two. Thats weird???

I see that you have a different hair type that the others that experienced breakage. I guess it depends on your hair type...not for your typical 4A/B hair.

I used it last summer. It didnt damage my hair, but it didnt change its color either, even though I used a lot. I guess my hair is too dark.

I think that the 8th grade was the year for Sun-in. Me and all of my friends tried it and we all had different results, but none were negative. My naturally dark brown hair color did get some golden blond highlights. The key is to use it on dry hair, don't use too much, and to use the sun instead of a hair drier.

I think that stuff is what started me on my downward spiral with the hair! I was already relaxed and I tried that it made my hair dry and it only lightened a little. I then of course went onto harsher hair lightening techniques.

DON'T DO IT!
You made me recall a funny story, that of course was not funny at the time.
But I was sporting this blonde weave (oh the shame of it) and I remember using Sun-in to try and match the shade of the weave.
Well, girrrrrrrrllll....I used it every day for like a week, right? Then I decided to touch up my bangs( they were the only part of my real hair that was exposed) and chile don't you know my blonde bangs fell right into the tub when I washed out the perm???
Lawd...had I not been wearing a weave to begin with, which is what I eventually used to cover the front (FOR MONTHS).
Now granted, I shouldn't have retouched so soon. But the moral of this story is, that stuff ain't noooooo good for black, chemically treated hair. OH-KAAAAYYYYY?
EDITED AFTER READING THE PREVIOUS POSTS: Ok, DONT USE IT IF YOU ARE A 4 WITH RELAXED HAIR!!!!!!!

aveda makes these color enhancing shampoos that worked really well for me. i'm a 4b and all it did was put some very nice highlights in my hair, which i still have by the way, and i havent used it in years! i think i used the one for brunetts...
that's my 2cnts. and i'm sticking with it...

I totally agree.
I somewhat of the same experience with Sun In (but it was the gel) , It lightened my hair quite a bit.
But when it was time for touch up,my hair came out everywhere that it had lightened. I was
for days.

I Think I'll give the Aveda Shampoo's a try. I'll keep everyon posted if I decide to try it.
~thanks again for your VERY helpfu responses.
P.S. Does Sally's sell that Hennalucent stuff? I wanna try that in clear! How much does that usually run?
