Answers

Frequently Asked

White bleach powder is neutral and lifts cleanly to your target level. Blue bleach powder carries violet-blue pigment that counteracts warmth as it lifts, helping control brassiness on darker or more resistant hair.

Use 20 VOL for grey coverage and light lift, 25 VOL (9%) for everyday bleach work with controlled multi-level lift, and 30 VOL when you need maximum lift on foils with a shorter development time. Never exceed the manufacturer's stated volume.

Up to seven levels under ideal conditions with 30 VOL on virgin hair. Real-world lift depends on starting level, hair history, porosity, heat and development time.

Standard is 1 part powder to 2 parts cream peroxide (e.g. 20 g powder to 40 ml peroxide). Use 1 : 1.5 for a firmer, stronger mix and 1 : 2.5 for a looser consistency on balayage and foil work.
