Schwarzkopf BlondMe Premium Lift 9+ Powder Brightener 450g

This is by far the best bleach/ lightener I have ever used! It was easy to mix (1 part lightner to 2 parts developer) - I used the BlondMe 9%/ 30 Volume Developer and it took me from my natural Level 2/3 hair to a level 9/10 in 30 minutes with zero scalp irritation, tingling or stinging. I could see it beginning to work almost immediately.My hair also came out completely even (unfortunately the photos don't show just how incredibly even my hair turned out, a first for me when lightening - the photos also make it look a bit brassy which it wasn't at all, the second photo shows much better how just how much lift it gave me, the third photo shows my natural hair), with little to no damage.Even after colouring my hair the next day (a very light ash/ dirty blond - which I love) my hair was still in pretty good condition. I have just done my roots for the first time, this was also made easier due to the consistency of the lightner and developer, which is just right IMO, a medium weight cream not to thick and dry and it doesn't run everywhere.The smell was a pleasant surprise, hardly any harsh peroxide/ chemical smell but just a light floral scent.Since I first dyed my hair using the BlondMe range I have had loads of compliments and even my hairdresser thought I had had my hair professionally lightened and highlighted!The one thing I would recommend is to use a different shampoo and mask than the BlondMe ones that are recommend as I found them to be surprisingly harsh and drying. I've been using Purerology Perfect 4 Platinum Shampoo and Purerology Strength Cure Conditioner. Bleach London Resurrection Mask and Purerology Perfect for Platinum Miracle Filler leave in spray and my hair looks glossy and healthy, which used to be a battle every time I had my hair lightened or lightened it myself.Sorry to ramble on but I cannot recommend the BlondMe Lightener and Developer enough, it really is a game changer!

This is the best bleach powder and developer I have ever used.I tend to only review things that I think are the best of what I have found. This brand let me go from 30 vol to 20 vol without losing any lightening power! This has improved my hair length and quality without sacrificing on results. Amazingly it is also cheaper than the bleach powder I was using from Boots because of how much you are buying each time.My baby hairs no longer break off.Many people have commented that my hair is longer and thicker than they have ever seen in. The main reason is that I upgraded to high quality bleach and not what you can get on the high street.I have nothing but good things to say about this brand, it is so high lift! The bleach smell is also unscented and not too overpowering.

I bought this product as part of the brand's range: Powder Brightener, Premium Care Developer and Blonde Toner (Ice Cream 60). It was my first time dyeing hair myself, I usually go to the salon but it's becoming expensive (£120 for a man!). I applied 1 scoop of Powder Brightener (used my protein scoop to measure as one isn't supplied), and 2 scoops of the 6% PC developer. Left on for 40 mins with a shower cap I bought from Amazon, my scalp was absolutely fine and my hair felt nourished after. In the salon it felt unbearable! I then washed out. Then I used 30g (half a tube) of the Blonde Me toner with 2% PC developer. Left on for 20 minutes, might've been a tad too long for me as there are shimmer of purple but it's not too noticeable and for sure will wash / fade out. Overall the results have been amazing. Worth noting this product arrived the day after I bought it despite Amazon telling me it'll take 4-5 days (as supplier shipping). Really happy, all in all spent £70 on all the materials and accessories to do it myself at home, which is £50 less than I would spend in a salon, and I reckon I have a year's worth of supply if I do my hair once a month (would need more of the toner though, one tube lasts 2 uses). Thank you.

This is the only product I have ever used at home that has not made my hair bright yellow like a duckling! I have very dark brown hair and usually need at least two lots of bleach to lighten my hair to a point where I can successfully tone and colour (I usually go for pastel colours over bleach). This creates problems with banding when I do my roots and means I have to do a lot of ‘suck it and see’ and correction to get the colours I’m after and also means I often need to go a darker shade at the roots.I used this bleach powder with the 30 vol developer of the same brand. At the time of purchasing both items cost just under £30 which is an expensive outlay but the amounts are such that this will last me months and probably cost the same or less in the long run than buying boxed products, so perfect for anyone who regularly bleaches. The powder comes with a measuring spoon which I used for both the powder and developer at a 1:2 ratio, which gave a good consistency mix. The manufacturers recommend anything from 1:1.5 and 1:2.5 powder to developer, so I opted for the middle. I left to develop for 40 mins and achieved a creamy blonde somewhere between very light blonde (lift level 9)/extra light blonde (level 10) on my very dark roots. Usually I would not get past a 7 with home bleach. This is a great bleach product that I would recommend to anyone with dark hair. It smells lovely unlike every other kit I’ve used at home. Did sting the scalp a bit while it was on, but that’s always the case for me and it did not cause any damage to my scalp/skin. Not sure whether the bond plex improves the condition in comparison to other bleaches as yet, but I may come back at a later date and comment on this. All round the best product I’ve ever used for home bleaching.
