Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it last?
Results will stay light. Whenever you lighten hair, whether at the salon or with Sunbabe, it’s permanent because pigment is lifted from hair to create a lighter shade. Sunbabe lightens gradually over a few uses, so results are in your control. Continue use to lighten up to 3 shades!
How do you compare to other brands?
There are key differences between us and other brands. Sunbabe includes violet pigment to counteracts brassiness. Sunbabe Solar Hair Lightener is also slightly stronger and includes quality ingredients that support your hair during lightening. We omit ingredients commonly found in other methods of lightening, including alcohol, parabens, sulphates, phthalates, metallic salts, aluminum and ammonia. We are also proudly 100% cruelty free, vegan and made in Canada.
Will it damage my hair?
Our formula acts as a gentler alternative to conventional hair bleach. Sunbabe lightens hair gradually to avoid stressing out strands and is buildable over a few uses to avoid going too light too quickly.
Does it work on dyed hair?
Yes, Sunbabe will lift the dye from your hair to help to achieve a lighter shade.
What if it's bleached?
Yes, Sunbabe safely and effectively lightens bleached hair. Both bleached and natural strands will lighten 2-3 shades over a few uses.

Why Sunbabe
Customer Reviews
In 2 summers I got back my childhood blonde with just sunbabe! Dark dirty blonde —> Barbie blonde💕 thank you sunbabe for an amazing line of products keeping my hair beautiful, light, healthy, and luscious. I also want to say that their hair oil is AMAZING as well. Not only does it help my hair and make it soft and shiny, it smells wonderful. If you are on the fence—INVEST IN THIS!!! It is magic in a bottle.💕💞
This product works SO well. I’ve been using this for about 3 years and I’m on my 6th bottle. I have natural dirty blonde hair but this makes my hair a bright golden color. I get compliments on my hair color all the time now and it looks so natural! It hasn’t changed my hair texture at all, still very healthy and shiny. 10/10 recommend.
As a teen user of terrible products like Sun In I was skeptic that a similar idea could work in a grown up, non brassy not artificial looking way, but I went for it and it works amazingly well! Gentle, natural looking lightening that’s buildable and leaves hair feeling soft and is not at all brassy looking, Actually a totally great product.
Lovely product and such cute packaging!
Hot damn! I am 56 with grey hairs intruding. Having dark blonde hair, I have had a hard time keep up with my roots and highlights to blend the greys. Aside from the cost (hundreds of dollars), each time I color the roots, there is a new line no matter how much I pay or how much of a master the stylist is; plus the highlights don't blend well. Then add the underneath hair growing out and I look like a calico cat. Enter Sunbabe. It took one application to blend it all. It keeps the variation nicely and the following day I did some detail work by blending some of the lines from past colors. I used gloves and targeted areas and strands by spraying the product on my hands then applying. Now my grey hairs look like highlights. I also got the oil, which nourishes the hair after the treatment. It's worth every penny and I will save hundreds of dollars a year with this product. One thing I would note is that you should be careful when you spray, it doesn't feel good on the face! Also, when comparing products, the ingredients in Sunbabe are superior and healthier for hair. AND! No long hours in the salon! WIN!
