Eight levels of lift is a lot to ask of a home kit, and it is exactly what this one is built for. Dark hair to blonde in a single process, rather than the two or three sessions a weaker bleach would need.

The kit contains:

  • Lightening powder
  • Developer cream
  • A conditioning treatment for after the lift

That conditioning step is not a token extra. Taking hair up eight levels is hard on it, and the treatment goes on while the cuticle is still open, which is when it does the most good. There are conditioning agents running through the lightening formula itself as well.

Use it for a full blonde change, or as the lifting stage before a toner or a fashion colour. Read the strand test instructions before you mix anything. On dark or previously coloured hair, that test is what decides whether you carry on.

Application tips

Do the strand test first and time it properly; eight levels of lift on dark hair is not a process to guess at.

Mix the powder and developer in a non metal bowl, then apply to the mid lengths and ends before the roots, since heat from the scalp lifts those faster. Watch the colour rather than the clock. Rinse, then use the conditioning treatment while the hair is still open.

Results

Dark hair reaches a genuine blonde in a single session, where a weaker bleach would want two or three goes at it. Expect a warm, yellow stage on the way up; that is the pigment underneath, and a toner deals with it afterwards.

The conditioning step puts some of the feel back, though bleached hair will always be more porous and want more moisture from then on.
