The other week i popped into Boots looking for a hair dye, i wanted to go slightly lighter for the summer and i spotted this product which i hadnt seen advertised or on any blogs, so i stood in Boots looking up reviews to see if it was any good and decided to go for it, seeing as it was on offer.
I was interested in the concept, usually i find dying my hair a chore and this seemed like the perfect solution. This product has a jelly like texture as the name suggests, and you run it through wet or dry hair and you dont have to rinse it out. Its a fool proof product, you literally just put it in your hair and your part is done, all you have to do is let the product do its job and then re apply the product the next time you wash your hair or if put into dry hair, every 3 days or so.
This gradual lightener gives the hair a natural sunkissed look in 3-5 uses, i had about 6 uses out of the 100ml bottle. You can use this product to suit you, whether you want to lighten all over, just highlights or even ombre. If you want a more intense, faster look then you can use a blow-dryer, or even sit out in the sun!
It is permanent, with 3 shades depending on the shade of your natural hair colour, this does only work on natural hair so if you have dyed hair, im afraid you will have to strip the dye before you can use this, or so it says on the box. I have shade 1 which is for light brown to dark blonde, and shades 2 and 3 are for darker blondes to lighter blondes. Depending on your natural hair colour, the results you get may vary from on the box, i have dark brown hair so it hasnt completely made it dark blonde, but more of a light brown.
It contains NO AMMONIA. It does however conatin hydrogen peroxide which is inevitable seeing as it needs it in order to lighten the hair. It has a nice smell, it is enriched with Camellia oil so it nourishes the hair whilst its on.
The packaging is so pretty, its very pink and pastel and very summery, right up my street and the packaging aim is achieved as its got a beach/shimmery feel to it, with a bright pink lid. It comes in a box with one glove and is a squeezy tube. the packaging is a win for me!
Overall i enjoyed using this product, it does what it says on the packet and it was £5 well spent in my opinion, it was something i looked forward to using after i got out of the shower, and was always eager to see the results once my hair had dried. It doesnt do miracles to your hair colour, although neither does the sun in most cases, and that is what it claims it does, its 'Summer in a tube'.
