Forty volume is the strongest developer in the OxiCreme line, twelve percent peroxide, and it is the one to reach for only when the lift genuinely calls for it. Paired with bleach powder it drives high lift blonde work. Paired with a permanent colour it pushes stubborn grey and gives the most lift the range offers.

The cream texture is what makes a strength like this manageable. It mixes smoothly, holds where it is put and does not run, so you keep control over timing and placement rather than chasing product down the hair. A litre bottle also means a full head of work does not empty it.

  • High lift blonde on hair that can take it
  • Pre-lightening before vivid fashion shades
  • Stubborn grey that resists lower volumes
  • Salon and home use where a litre saves reordering

Strand test before you commit, and step down to a lower volume if the hair is already porous or previously lightened. Strength is not always the answer, and 40 vol on compromised hair is how damage happens. 1000 ml / 33.81 oz.

Application tips

Speed matters at twelve per cent. Mix with bleach powder to a yoghurt consistency, get it on fast and work from the ends and mid lengths inward, leaving the root area until the last few minutes because body heat drives it faster there.

Watch the whole time. Never put it on a scalp that has been scratched or shaved that morning. Rinse the second the hair reaches the stage you were aiming for.

Results

Twelve per cent sits at the top of the range and behaves like it. Dark bases move several levels in one process when the hair can take it, and pre lightened sections reach the pale, even canvas that fashion shades need to read true.

Stubborn white hair around the temples finally accepts pigment. The cream body is what keeps a strength like this controllable rather than something sliding off the section.
