Quick Blue High Performance Bleach | Professional Hair Bleaching Powder | No Drip Formula | Extra Strength Lightening Action Lifts Up To 7 Levels | Single Application | 1 Pound

Dark brown to ash blonde in a week- little damage! The large amount of product is necessary for a big project like this. Very economical! Smells fine! use a mini whisk for easy mixing. The only down side is the blue hides the results a bit and you may be inclined to wash off sooner than you should because it masks the results. Not sure if I am brave or a fool for dying my hair myself. All colorist I consulted said it couldn't be done for the summer and would fry my hair. This is how I did it and the products I used and the knowledge I gained. How I did it: 1. Day 1:Started with dark hair, natural color but used boxed dye every month to cover a few grays( color a 2 on the color scale) 2. Day 1: 30 min Bleach bath- lightened 1 to 2 shades( resulting color 3) 3. Day 1:Foils with L’Oreal Quick Blue, 30 developer, Oleplex 1- lightened 3 shades, left on for 45 min( results 6 on the color scale) 4. Day 2: 30 min Bleach bath- lightened 1 to 2 shades (resulting color 8) 5. Day 3: Foils with L’Oréal Quick Blue, 30 developer, Oleplex 1, left on for 45 min- lightened 3 shades( results 10 on the color scale) 6. Day 4: color correction(reds and yellows) with a homemade color correction concoction created by mixing Olaplex 2, Color filler and Ardle red and gold corrector drops( they are purple). Put this mixture on and left it on for 3 hours. Results: Ash color. Then toned it with Wella T-18 left on for 20 minutes. Very happy with the results. I have no hair loss or damage Products: 1. Neutral Color Filler 16oz 2. Olaplex 1, 2 and 3 3. Aquaphor 4. L’Oréal quick Blue Powder 5. Ardel Color correcting drops red gold corrector 6. Wella Color Charm Liquid Toner T-18 7. L’Oréal 30 Volume developer 8. Pure organic Coconut Oil 9. DIY Hair Dye kit Knowledge needed: 1. Know the hair color wheel a. You can only lift hair about 3 to 4 shades in one bleaching session b. Know the opposite colors to tone out unwanted shades 2. Understand the components of damaged hair and how to correct it a. Is your hair dry or devoid of fillers( protein and Keratin) This is vital to the treatments you will make to the damage you do. Too much protein, your hair will break 3. Know how to test your hair for damage before you begin and test it after every process 4. Understand “hot roots” and avoid them 5. Know the difference between Toner and dye 6. Understand that you can further damage your hair with protein fillers as they can make the hair brittle which will cause breakage, however protein filler can be a miracle cure for hair that won’t take color, or grabs color unevenly. Balance with moisture treatments . 7. Know which oils can penetrate the hair shaft and add moisture and know which ones add moisture and deposits proteins. Coconut oil is awesome for hair but also deposits proteins so be careful if your hair is brittle and breaking. Good moisture adding/non-protein depositing oils are Caster, Jojoba, Moroccan, argon 8. Know how to do a ‘bleach bath’ ( equal parts shampoo, bleach, developer and 1/8th oz. of Olapex 1 per 3 OZ of bleach bath) 9. Bleach on Oily hair. Don’t wash your hair, alternatively sleep in a coconut mask and then bleach your hair with the coconut oil on. It protects your scalp and the oil and protein from the oil fortifies hair during bleaching. The oil will not affect the bleaching process 10. Use a protein filler after you have bleached out your color, before you tone or dye. It helps the color pick up evenly and leaves hair shinny 11. Use Aquaphor on all exposed skin including forearms *****If you find this review helpful please indicate on the review so I know all this detail helps people.

I absolutely LOVEEEEE this bleach powder. I was buying 1 Oz. Packs of this at my local BSS for $4/pk. So even tho some people say its pricy on Amazon for the pound at $34, to me the 1 pound tub is worth it. Im new at using bleach powder & so far I've only used it to bleach the knots on my human hair wigs, but to me this is the best product so far. Works very well with the clairol shimmer lights shampoo/conditioner. Be having my units giving scalp. I pair it with 30 vol. Developer. 10/10 highly recommend. No complaints from me.

I was unhappy with how stylists would never color my hair the way I wanted so I decided to learn how to do it myself. I watched a few YouTube videos, picked up supplies from Sally Beauty and Amazon, and went for it. That was over two years ago and I’m still using this same bleach because I have it down to a science now. There are directions on the side of the tub and it comes with a little measuring cup. The container says it can lift up to seven levels and you can use it both on or off the scalp. My natural hair color is quite dark so I do two rounds of bleach and then tone. I use it on scalp and I won’t lie, after doing two rounds, my scalp does get sore and will be red and irritated BUT the irritation goes away after the next day or two. The blue powder does help with yellowing after bleaching, but you’ll still need to tone to get it all out. Anyway, as long as I’m still bleaching my hair, this will be my go-to product.

Okay, so I initially really wary of buying this, mostly because of the price and I'd been using box dyes to bleach my hair for awhile before this. This coupled with developer definitely adds up, but I gotta say, it's worth it! I like to dye my hair pink, and I was working up to a light blond color using blond box dyes. And the roots started to grow in, so I figured that I might as well try this during the summer, since people really like it and if it's a total disaster, then no one will see me while I fix it. But it worked really, really well! It got my dark roots to a pale, perfect yellow! I was surprised, but this stuff works really well. Also this and 40 volume developer may end up being about 30 bucks or so, but I think you'll actually end up saving money! My hair is still pretty short cause I'm growing it out from a pixie, but you'll probably only need a scoop or so to get just the roots done. It spread very easily and nicely. It obviously smells a bit, but you have to expect that. Nothing horrible though, you'll make it through. It's very tingly and kinda rough on your scalp, so be sure to condition after! PACKAGING: It came very quickly! But the actual bleach bag was pretty bad. Other reviewers said they got the big bucket with three little packets, but I got one weird looking bag with the side ripped apart. It was sort of a mess, with some the bleach in the bag, and A LOT outside it. I don't really know how that could have happened, and there was some bleach powder on the outside of the container. It definitely wasn't packaged that well. And there was like a strand of blond hair in the container. I'm pretty sure it wasn't mine, hopefully it was, but it was there right when I opened it and before I started anything. Overall this is a really good product and I can't wait to tell everyone about it. I always complain about my hair, so I'm happy I found this product! It doesn't come with gloves, but you should try it out!

I purchased this because I don't like spending $150+ at the salon for just a simple color. I bought this with a 30 developer (that's pretty high, but I watch it like a hawk so I don't burn my hair off). It's easy to use, there's instructions directly on the container and it does a great job. Make sure to always wrap your hair in foil (or at least wrap your head in a bag or something) because you need to keep the bleach saturated and wet, once it dries it stops processing and that's how people end up with splotchy and uneven hair. I also purchased a T18 toner to finish and to lift the color so it's brighter and more even. For the price its a great option, save your money ladies and do it yourself. Be careful though, it is easy to damage your hair, take your time and watch your timer. These are the only reference pics I have on my computer, but this is a before and after, I had a light brown/ golden color (my hair is naturally an ash blond/light brown color) and I was able to get it to a bleach/platinum color fairly easily in one session. For women with dark hair I would suggest lifting in a couple treatments, I would say if you are a dark brown to black color, dye it, give it a break for a week and then try lifting it again. And get yourself some toner to help bring out the best color possible. Also, as everyone knows, bleach takes the moisture out of your hair and you need to maintain it and baby it a little. I also suggest getting purple shampoo (they sell it at smiths and local grocery stores for $20 for both shampoo and conditioner, don't have to break the bank to keep your color). I also baby my hair by applying castor oil to my ends after I shower, I know people also use argon oil, whatever you want to choose, just make sure you take care of your hair after you bleach it otherwise it will become brittle and you can't work with it anymore. I hope everyone else has the same experience I have had with this product, great stuff!

It works well. I have jet black hair and after applying it once, it managed to turn it brass color. Had to put on another coat to get the desired color I want. I minused a star because of the ridiculous price for the small amount you get. $34 for a bag that doesn't fill even half the bucket! On my second coat, I was already 3/4 through the bag. Took more than 6 whole miniature scoops to finish the bleach job. Other than that, i'm satisfied.

Love the product but I paid $18.49 just two short years ago. Now they want over $34. Way too costly for no apparent reason.🫠

Works beautifully! I just reordered this again.
