The deal

Three things to know

The kit is for your content

Use it, film your progress, and send us the originals.

The 30% is for your posts

Sharing is optional. When you do, you earn 30% of every order through your link or code.

Whitelisting is by invitation

We choose a few members and run their content as ads from their own handle.

We're not after a perfect ad. We're after your hair story, told the way you'd tell a friend.

Step one

Start with your story

The best videos don't open on the bottle. They open on you: what you wanted back, or what you were hoping for. Pick the one that sounds most like you.

"My hair used to look like this every summer."

You miss the hair you had when you spent more time outside.

"I moved away from the ocean."

Or stopped surfing, sailing, running in the sun. Your hair changed with your life.

"This is the color I had as a kid."

You're getting back to your natural shade.

"I don't have three hours for the salon."

Kids, work, a full day. This is the few minutes that are yours.

"I thought these sprays were only for blondes."

You have darker hair and weren't sure it was for you.

"I wanted a change nobody would notice overnight."

Gradual, low-key, nothing that looks like you tried.

"This is my cozy night-in ritual."

No sun needed. It's winter, you're home, and it's you, your blow dryer and a few quiet minutes.

Or tell it your own way.

These are starting points. Your real reason is always the best one.

Then let your life be in the frame. The school run, your desk, the dog walk, a trip. Your days are the story. The bottle is just part of them.

Before and after

Step two

Use it your way

There's no schedule to follow. Keep going until you see a change you love.

  • Choose your look. Highlights, face-framing pieces or all over. It's your hair.
  • Follow the label each time. Spray, then activate with at least 30 minutes of sun or 3 to 4 minutes with your blow dryer.
  • Give it a few rounds. It lightens a little more each time. Most people see a lift after 3 to 4 applications.
  • You decide when to stop. That control is the best part, so show it.

Step three

What to film

Before and afters only work if they can be compared, so the before is the most important shot you'll take. Film it before your first spray.

  1. Before your first use

    Daylight photos from the front, back and both sides. A short clip saying your starting shade, and whether it's natural or colored.
  2. Each time you use it

    A quick clip of you applying it. Then one once your hair is dry: which product, how many uses so far, and sun or blow dryer.
  3. Along the way

    A few clips of your day around it. Label them "Day 1", "Day 2" and so on, so the change builds on screen.
  4. When you love the result

    The same photos as your before: same spot, same light, same time of day. Then tell us how it went, in your own words.
Long wavy brown hair from the back, after one application of Suntouched in the sun
After 1 application
The same hair from the back in the same room, after two applications of Suntouched in the sun
After 2 applications
The same hair from the back in the same room, after three applications of Suntouched
After 3 applications

This is the progression we love to see: same room, same angle, hair dry, and a note of how many times you've used it.

In your last clip, tell us how many times you used it, how you decided when to stop, and what you'd say to a friend with hair like yours.

Keep it simple

How to film it

Daylight, always

By a window or outside. No ring lights, no filters. Show your hair dry, since wet hair always looks darker.

Your phone is plenty

Film vertical. Ten to thirty seconds a clip is perfect. Talk like you're telling a friend, no script.

Keep it raw

No music, captions, text or edits on the files you send us, so we can cut them ourselves.

If the change is subtle, say so. Honest is what makes people trust you.

Your words

What to say, and what to skip

You don't need to sell anything. Say what's true for you.

Say this

  • How you use it: where you spray, sun or blow dryer, how many times
  • How long it really took you
  • That you choose how light to go
  • Your real starting color and result, in the same light
  • What you do with the time you'd have spent at the salon
  • Your life: kids, home, work, a trip

Skip this

  • "Damage-free", "chemical-free", "100% natural", "non-toxic"
  • "Clean", "sustainable", "eco-friendly"
  • "Same as salon highlights", or promising a shade
  • "No bleach", "no orange", "no brassiness"
  • "Sunscreen for your hair", or any health or skin claim
  • Saying it's new, or that anything is discontinued
