I'm not sure if my hair is naturally medium brown or dark brown - I'd say it's somewhere in the middle. Because of this, I was a little concerned about how my hair would turn out after using Sun In...but I figured, worst case scenario, I'd buy a box of hair dye similiar to my natural color and dye it back. However, I LOVE it! I love that it's gradual so I can control just how light of a color I achieve. I usually use it with a blow dryer as opposed to the sun because that's more convenient for me. It really does look like lightening by the natural sun - for me, it's not "fake" looking or brassy or reddish at all...just a nice, gradual blonde lightening. Everyone asks me if I got professional highlights. This stuff is a great secret and very cheap! I have yet to find any cons. It doesn't even smell like chemicals to me; it has a light, clean smell and I can still smell my shampoo and conditioner even after product application. I'm always careful to condition well because I understand that this could possibly dry out hair, although I have not had a problem with that. Be careful if your hair is badly damaged from heat styling, etc. Overall, great product. :)
