Blond brilliance 25 volume developer8/4/2023 We can not expect a product to care about our hair more than we care to do things to it that can compromise it’s health. I use this monthly at the roots, I have had no issue with breakage…I don’t over heat my hair and take care to add moisture and repair treatments to help it recover. It sells repair products but isn’t true as there are many factors contributing to the health of hair. Im always amazed when people are surprised that there is breakage and damage done through the bleaching process…anyone who suggests that bleach can be a conditioning treatment to hair is just a lie that we like to believe in. We often don’t hear about the hair history of those reviewing which can certainly contribute to the varied results. It’s so important to emphasize the repair or the clients hair before considering this product or any bleach process for that matter. The only reason I did not give the overall rating a 5 is because the powder can be kind of lumpy which I do work out after rigorous mixing. I followed with a protein treatment afterwards to treat the hair but the results left the my client smiling from ear to ear. The oil infused peroxide is very effective at not allowing hair to burn and feel dry. I would’ve chosen a lower volume peroxide had her hair been over processed. I used the 35 vol as it was only applied to ends and she has synthetic pigment from previous colourings in the hair. Client wanted coppery undertones so there was no need to tone when we were done. **AS ALWAYS PLEASE PLEASE DO A TEST STRAND BEFORE USING ANY NEW LIGHTING PRODUCT ON YOUR HAIR!**īB 9 level lift powder did a beautiful job and lifting during a balayage on level 3 precoloured hair. They also have a toning shampoo and conditioner in this line that ill continue to make the blondes brighter definitely worth going to Sallys and trying it out as you an always return it if your test strand doesn’t come out as you’d hoped □ If you are at anything lighter than pale yellow I would recommend 5 mins at most or the deep platinum will start (you will notice the toner getting darker) I do have some spots in my hair that ended up lightening past the light yellow to the palest yellow stage and those came out a wee deeper platinum than I would have liked, but the rest is fine. The toner I used was the Platinum using a 5 volume developer, left on for 10 mins and done, I would recommend if you do not want the deeper looking platinum color to leave on for less time depending on how brassy your hair is. I also end up with that god awful brassy orange or yellow even after using a toner, NOT THIS TIME! Now normally when I do this I always end up burning my scalp as I always do on scalp bleaching (like I shouldn’t do) but with this product there was only a slight tingle. I did use 35 volume developer which is NOT RECOMMENDED (they recommend their 5- 25 volume developers) but I also know how difficult my hair is to lighten and also know it can handle a 40 volume. It does not have the harsh chemical smell in fact the developer smells floral and fruity kind of tone. Having oils and karatin in both the lightening powder as well as the developer, this leaves the hair soft and with little to no damage. I have found my new lightening product, this is AMAZING! This is a true 9 level lift unlike any I have used before 40 mins (max is 50) and I was light yellow on virgin hair.
