Review (5/5): It works
I had very dark colored hair and wanted to lighten my hair. I used this set plus the recommended highlighter and my hair did get lighter 2 shades. I feel I only needed to purchae it once and I got the results I wanted. It is lightening your hair so dont expect this to smell good (it's not bad) and it wont leave your hair soft. But I used another conditioner after to help that.
