Disappointed

I was super hopeful that this would lighten my hair a few more levels then it actually did. The product would work great for someone that had dirty blonde hair but with my dark brown hair it didn’t lighten it nearly enough.

Horrible Patchy Experience!

I received a box of göt2b® Be En-LIGHTENED™ for free from ChickAdivisor in exchange for an honest review. I did not have a good experience with this product. I will admit that I may have needed 2 boxes but my hair is barely past my chin. It is a bit thick so maybe that was an issue. I have never needed 2 boxes of dye before though with any other boxed dyes so I thought I would be okay. I have never really done anything like this before but thought it may be fun and be a nice change. I also got a box of göt2b® Creative™ in LUXURIOUS RED to put on after the lightener. Unfortunately the lightener only really seemed to take on the top of my head, but not right near the front so it looked horrible and patchy. It did do some streaks in random places on the lower part of my hair even though it was all fully covered. I was horrified and felt so stupid for taking such a risk. It did not seem like there would even be enough product for even thinner short hair. The lightener that did take was a weird yellow colour as well which wasn’t too bad since I was going to cover it but I would never have wanted to leave it. The instructions were confusing and all over the place and lacked good helpful visuals. Also the labeling of the “conditioner” was weird and it was a bit confusing as to if it was even conditioner and when to use it. I did like that it didn’t seem to totally fry my hair; the conditioner seemed to also help keep it from getting very dry. The smell wasn’t too horrible either in a well-ventilated area. I would not ever recommend this product though considering the cost it would be to get enough boxes to make it possibly work right. I would rather go to a salon (which I will now have to go to anyways to get this fixed) and pay a bit extra then take a hit or miss risk like this again. #gotitfree

Orange........

So, I got this box of lightener with my electric blue as i was selected to take part in the product review. I was ecstatic as I’m always playing with my hair colours and trying new styles. I did a lot of research before applying this product as blonde is not generally what I do.

I will start by saying that the instructions are extremely confusing. I had to read them numerous times and even still was unsure of what the next step was. The instructions are not even all in one section on the page. Not to mention, the instructions mention nothing about the conditioning which threw me off mid-process, thinking I had forgotten to add something.

When I did get it mixed together, my first question was “how is this going to cover my head?”. I have just recently chopped off my hair to about shoulder length. I’ve used boxed dyes in the past, even with long hair, and have had lots left over. I ran out about halfway through my head with this lightener and found myself sticking my fingers in the bottle desperately trying to finish my hair. If you have longer then shoulder length hair, you will need at least 2 boxes but i would say it’s safe to say 3.

The product itself wasn’t bad. It smelled quite good in comparison to other boxed blondes (the eye burning kind). The dye was quite gritty but I didn’t mind that. It doesn’t spread well though, adding to the lack of product to finish the job.

I experienced no itching or discomfort. I left it on for 40 minutes before washing it out. Immediately I noticed my hair is orange as orange comes. It’s patchy and bronze as ever. But oddly enough, on the roots it’s a bleached white blonde. I do think that had there been more product supplied in the mixture, the entire head could be achieved to this platinum effect.

The more it dried the more I cried. All I could think to myself was “what on earth have I done”. I had planned on doing the blue the next day, to save the health of my hair but, I couldn’t even look in the mirror with this....bronze orange mop sitting on top of my head. Not reccommended...........and if you do choose to use this lightener. Get an extra couple of boxes. Or at least a backup emergency due to fix the mess it leaves........

Did not like the lightning color

Sorry did not like the lightner!! It fried my hair. My haidresser had to cut my hair shorter and didn't like that she had to take 2 inches off, after trying it out. I do not recommend this product.

Not recommended for previously coloured hair

Hair lighteners fall into two categories: works on pre-coloured hair, or doesn’t.

This product falls into the doesn’t category.

I haven’t coloured my hair, dark brown, in about 6 months, so it’s been pretty faded out. Other hair lighteners I’ve used in the past would have no problem getting it to that really ugly bright orange colour, but this product barely lifted anything.

This product was also more grittier and dustier than others I’m used to, so I didn’t really enjoy that.

Application was easy enough, however the gloves that are provided are NOT what is shown on the instruction insert. You get these massive, awkward gloves that fold and trap product in itself, so I had to toss them and use gloves I had at home.

The instruction insert is just a mess. You can’t just quickly glance at it and know what to do. I’ve used many brands of hair dye in my life and they are usually clear, concise, and well organized. This one, I don’t really know what happened.

Overall, I’m glad I received this product for free for review purposes, because I would be so disappointed if I had spent money on it.
