well my hair didnt fall out in clumps or anything but i had my hair pink once then tried to cover it w black so i jus got to a light pink and my root grow out was blonde so i gave up and went for dark blue lol
I think rules like this from American and European stylists are good guidelines for their target market audience - Caucasian, normal to fine hair. But I do a lot of Asian hair with a tight, resistant cuticle and if I did low and slow I’d have a lot of unwanted redheads walking around or really long processing times. I think stylists need to use common sense and our knowledge of texture, porosity, density and starting level to determine formulas.
I have this lady do my hair and it took 7 hours for a root touchups and she toned my hair 2 different times because it was SO orange at the root. She only uses 20 vol developer and now I think I know why!!!
shockalockabocka look at Zach mesquit on Instagram. He does a platinum education Snapchat. He always uses super low developers even on Hispanic and Asian hair
ugh my girlfriend is Asian, and wants a different Blondee every time, purple, icy, warm... ugh FM so is like how do you get her roots lifted while bumping up her ends to the blonde she wants without damaging her ends, or without her roots being orange? how many bowls of Lightner does one client take??
I bleached my hair today with the schwarzkopf blondme and 20 vol developer - the low and slow method is recomended on the packaging and it lifted beautifully
Interesting Anni well the point of this video is that you should follow the Manufacturers guidelines so if they recommend it then super if something goes wrong you are covered 👍🏻 out of interest what does in say ???
The Life Of Hair very true.. except for the heat. I think you said the scalp was like 35degrees or something before. Can’t remember exactly my dear friend. Thanks.
James thanks this is great ! Our karma System has turned this on its head With our intelligent developers we can lift 3 to 4 shades in 12 to 15 mins without compromising the hair in any way. We have no fears of damaging the hair whatsoever. Yes ... it sounds hard to believe!!! Great video
I would like to say that the alkaline mixture may have the same pH but the strength of pushing through the keratin layers depends on the peroxide vol. pushing quickly though keratin bonds of hair causes damage or breakage to hair strands. After 50_60 minutes we can wash hair to complete bleaching the next visit. or we can remove the mixture between fingers and put a new mixture on the same visit according to the state
lmao, i used 40vol once on my naturally level 8 hair and it worked so fast i couldn’t get an even coverage. i swapped right back to my 20vol/30 minutes processing routine 😅
Absolutely my friend that I didn’t say that one size fits all this is a you choose scenario you pick the best technique for your style of work you just need to bear in mind the manufacturers guidelines that is all I am trying to say in this particular video ✌🏻
Thanks its very helpful coz i wanna dye blonde at the ends but not the roots ... so yah we should read instructions and go about it and do our own thing otherwise there will be great damage to hair ... and not leave it on for 2 hours ... yeah I got it
Thank you so much for this information! I'm about to bleach my friend's hair and I'm pretty excited, I hope it turns out well even though I have bleached my own hair before, new sub from Mexico 🇲🇽😉 One quick question, if his hair is a natural (virgin) level 4 and he wants bright neon pink hair, should I lift to a level 9/10 or can I work with a level 8 as well? Hope you have a lot of success, you really deserve a lot of subs
Superb I hope it turned out well?! I Thanks for the Sub. For neon pink hair I would say we need to get it closer to 9/10 rather that 8 However you don’t really need it to be a 10, I recommend neutralising the hair with a violet colour before you apply the pink to have the most neutral platform to apply your pink too 👍🏻
Hi that was informative video just wanna share with you that our Asian hairs r so tough they hv so much red pigments in that case what should we do during streaks or color change seeking professional advice
So I’ve been bleaching my hair for a while now ever since a hair stylist burn the hell out of my hair 🙃🙃 it was horrible. I found a method that has helped me a lot when lifting the color of my hair I have a level 2 or 3 hair. So when retouching my roots I go in with a hair color a blonde color and just mix it with peroxide 30 vol. the hair dye advertises that it can lift up to 5 levels and it gets it to a 5 or 6 level which is like a gold orange. Then I go ahead and apply actual bleach after I left my hair rest from the application I’ve done before with the hair dye. Doing that method has safe my hair a lot from damage and it lifts way faster. So I honestly I just be doing one round of bleach when usually it can take up to 2 rounds of bleach to get it to a 9 level hair
Superb Nicole yes this is called breaking the base do you use a tint or a high lift to lift the hair and then applied beach afterwards exactly like you described it is a cracking technique one that I advocate for someone of your natural level wanting to get to very pale blonde. 👍🏻😁
I have a rather dark natural level 4/5 and have thought about using a high lift blonde color after an initial bleach application as to not damage my hair any further. Little did I know that this method was used buy others and actually is ok to do. Also didn't think about using the high lift color first before any bleach. Would it be possible to keep using the high lift blonde to gradually lift the hair untill it reached the actual light blonde color, without any bleach?
That’s a good question thank you well to be honest there wasn’t really much difference in the feel of them after processing I don’t know what they would look like under a micro scope hope that helps
Idk if it s just ur camera but i see all the results darker than u said (vol 40 looks nothing like a lv 9 to me lol) . Also about the low and slow i personaly find it less damaging to the hair (especialy virgin hair) but it takes more time then i usualy have so unless i get lot of free time i would straight go for vol40 or 30...and the manufacture time isn't that useful on my clients (lv3 lv4 mostly) , it would never lift to a bright blond in 50mns . I just check my foils and the hair elasticity every now and then , but it takes usualy 1h30 to process (if the hair is healthy enough for that prosessing time)
Course it is a bit tricky to accurately represent the colour sometime some video I am working on this I only have new cameras now since I first from this video. The only problem with manufacturers guidelines is that they don’t always feel the modern requirements of what is expected But if we don’t stick to them and something is wrong then the manufacturer will not cover us so it’s a little bit of a tricky situation to manufacturer to have longer recommended development times now
I have around level 5 chocolate brown hair (with reddish/orange tones). I want a light brown color more on the cooler side so a bit ashy. My hair was bleached 1,5 years ago and it damaged my hair a lot because I've got wavy dry hair naturally. I went from waist length to collarbone length in 1 year because of the damage lol Now I really want to lighten it to a cool light brown shade and I want to use a very ashy dye to tone it but I don't know wheter I should use bleach powder + developer (20 vol) and then use the dye, or just use the dye with 30 volume developer.. I really don't want to damage my hair but I also really want to get the warm tones out of my hair :(
Oh and I’m doing baby lights for lightening and in between my foils low lighting with 6gn and 6t equal parts for that ugly underline pigment w/o diluting. Would you suggest that or something else?
you are the best ,bro i wanna ask just one question:the big bundle of human hairOn which you took the test What color is it (what level is it?)hope you to answer me and thank you
I personally think that it is total bs to say (Especially in the comment section) that asian hair is difficult to deal with. As a person of asian decent, I have observed many times that other hairdressers when they would have an asian client would comme up with the typical excuse of « It is “impossible” to go blonde in one session because you have asian hair » just because they aren’t able to do it with the knowledge, skills and resources they have. With the bleach I’m using (Schwarzkopf Blondme premium 9+ lightener), I can lift clients with “asian hair” from a virgin level 3 to a level 12 (A shade of yellow so pale it almost looks white)... in one bleach session. All using 40 vol on midlenght and end with the platinum card technique for 45 min under medium setting heat. So it’s not about the hair being from an Asian person, it’s about knowing how to bleach asian hair correctly with the right product.
I think what people are saying Adrian is You have to take extra steps to lift Asian hair to very light bit like you’re saying in your description how you do it you use the light now that is 9+ levels of left using platinum card technique And various other steps to get the hair that light whereas with European hair that is lighter by nature and I’m only generally speaking usually level six and above you do not have to take the steps to get the lift that we are talking about As I’m sure you are quite aware you can quite often just apply the product straight to the hair and get the desired shade if it’s a full version application of course you may have to apply the ends first or take consideration from the heat of the scalp but you do not need to do a platinum card technique nor do you need to use 9+ levels of left bleach Search these extra steps are the reason that people are considering Asian hair to be more difficult I hope you can see where they’re coming from. I hear your frustration as well I must say I think every hairstylist should be able to do every hair type 😁✌🏻
I have a question :) My natural hair is dark brown and i have grey hair. Right now hair cut is very short, without any dye. Later planing to go on blond. But please can you tell me if i will use 30 vol developer ones to go up in levels, should i repet one more time bleaching with 30 vol to go totally light and than dye with blond hair color? Should i bleach it and keep it for 30 min only? Scare not to damage. Roots want to bleach with 20 vol. is it ok? Thank you and will wait for respond 🌹
If I do a full head of highlights in 50 minutes with 30v on a level 7 (just roots) would I need to start taking the back out straight away? Or would you recommend I start with 20v & halfway use 30v.
Personally I use both of these depending on the scenario if I’ve got loads of time on my hands then I will take the back out when I finished the top. But if I’m Straight into another client I use 10vol into 20vol or 20vol into 30vol depending on the desired level of lift depending on the natural level for instance on the level you’re saying a level seven I would more than likely use 10 vol going into 20 vol 😁👍🏻
I've been searching on google and youtube for a long time because I'm planning on lightening my hair from a brown, so I'm able to get some vibrant colour from semi permanent hair dye, and I found this video most useful so thank you. I'm wondering if you could help me put with the meaning of toner?
Hello Amy Lou I’m glad you enjoyed the video, A toner is to do pretty much exactly what it says change the tone, For example if the hair is yellow I your put violet on it you will get a neutral colour should therefore you have toned the hair to neutral 😁👍🏻
For bleaching roots, instead of low and slow with 20 vol, would 30 vol be more appropriate? (for dark brown roots that cannot lift to pale yellow with 20 vol if left on only for an hour)
i have very dark brown hair that’s never been bleached, and i got a 40 & 20 volume developer. is it safe for me to use the 40 volume developer or should i dilute it with water?
I personally use 40v quite a lot in the salon the thing about using 40 V is that you need to get it on and off as quickly as possible when I say as quickly as possible obviously you still need to develop it to the point where you are getting the results that you desire putting 20 volume on the scalp first for the first 1 cm is a great idea because applying 40 volume to the scalp is never recommended
Now you should tone them all to see how much red will be removed at those orange levels so people can see nothing will happen when hair is not light enough.
@Leely Moonster Do you mean as in going darker? Toning a brick manic panic red can be toned to brown but never in my life have I seen an orange toned to blonde. It has to be lifted to a shade light enough and be yellow. This dark orange that people with natural black hair will have to go yellow to tone to 10 blonde. If you know of a special brand and formula that can achieve lightening and toning on a glaze by all means please share! 😃🙌👍
@@herdzale522 Yes i agree, exactly what you said. A lot of people get confused and hear "tone" and think it's magically going to then orange into platinum blonde.
@@ibelieve1674 any permanent hair color can lighten and tone at the same time. Also, you can tone at whatever level you lift to with any hair color. You're welcome
@@xpndnglmts Thanks but I wasn't talking about double processing or adding permanent hair color or high lift to lighten to the desired shade. I was referring to let's say Asian hair lifted from black to orange left in that state. No toner or shades eq will lift that and make it blonde. It's chemically impossible. Sure you can coat it to another tone but the results will not be Reese Witherspoon Legally blonde "blonde" . Hope that clears it up.
@@kapee4235 same i have black hair but in planning to buy 20vol and 10 vol and highlights , one to lift and one to mix with hair dye to deposit the dye to the hair
@@charlielove1679 yeah it would because of the heat from your scalp that is also the reason why when you have previously dyed hair you should never start on the root area after processing you have almost white roots and a harsh orange rest of your hair I made that mistake the first time I bleached my own hair
Tbh the "Pale yellow" 40 v. looks like a level 8. The hair seems very resistant too. Asian hair tends to have thick individual strands (of course there are exceptions). Also there's other factors like is it porous, virgin hair, do they tend to use heat? etc. This is why a lot of hairstylist turn away bleach jobs especially if you had color of any kind previously. I personally got turned away by over 5 salons in my area and I had virgin hair. They just don't want to be set up for failure and it will make their reputation look bad.
No I didn’t doing the Elasticity test on them afterwards the hair was so strong Asian hair normally is, Yes one thing I will say though is that they were air processed so you would’ve got more lift had to have been covered by a foil so it’s a good gauge of what you might get from the scalp breach if you were going to do something like that with that type of hair but not a good gauge if you were looking to do highlights. Hope that makes sense 😁👍🏻
Absolutely LOVE this!!! I have super dark, thick, hair, about a level 3 SUPER DARK, and my stylist ALWAYS starts my highlights at 30vol so by the time she's halfway done, it's already been awhile, and she moves up to the 40vol so that my highlights will be even. But even with 40vol dev, we leave the foils in for at LEAST 2 hours total (sometimes longer) and will still need to repeat the highlights after 2 weeks because they just don't lift high enough.. damage is pretty minimal, though I do trim my hair every 4-6 weeks a tiny bit, and only wash about twice a week, and don't use any heat for styling anymore, plus sleep with a silk pillowcase, use a silicone mix leave in treatment often, and argan oil on the ends regularly. But usually the second round of bleach w/ 40vol, the worst that happens is some hair breaks off the first couple weeks, since I have super thick hair, I don't mind it at all, plus it gives me a textured hair cut lol. But yeah, when I tell people I use 40 vol for my bleach, they are like, "NOOO do LOW AND SLOW!" I'm like, but duuuude, I use HIGH and slow, I'm not using the high volumes for faster lift... I'm doing it for a HIGHER lift, and still have to leave it on as long as others would with a 20 vol.
Superb Jason quick heads up though be very cautious of using powerful 40 volume on your scalp Most manufacturers don’t recommend it so proceed with caution if you’re going to use 40 volume sometimes if you want to clean the slightest results it’s better to use a lower volume and beat your hair twice but again beating your head twice can be treacherous so always be careful 👍🏻
This was soooooooooooo educational and more insightful than any video of colouring I’ve ever watched! Thanks so much for your professionalism!! You rock💖👌🏾💕💕💕 you just gained a new subscriber!!
The hydrogen gas is what makes the higher developer lighten the hair faster. It appears to be working faster as there is a fast paced lifting stage when it is lifting however it slows down not long after because the percentage is higher. This would absolutely work for an expert when they are relying on little time however it can be dangerous to strip colour out of the Cortex to a high level very quickly if the hair is in any way compromised or has limitations to begin with. I loved your analysis and I think your are very articulate within your narration when delivering video content. Great work! 🙂
Thanks for this video to be honest I didn’t know u could use 10 to bleach at all and I’ve always been on the fence about using 40 so worried of the Damage all this was very informational and I so appreciate the video and I still agree with you about manufacturers directions
In a foil thin sections I start with 10 vol and as I move up I bump the developer . I will do a partial rinse out of the bottom sections because those sections will be done by the time I’ve finished the top .
I do have black asian hair and when I went to to my hair stylist (to get a purple hair), she used different volumes in different parts of my hair... but from what I heard her talking to the assistant, she used 10, 20 and 30v... It took more than two hours to lift until a pale yellow, but I felt basically no damage afterwards... I mean, really back in the past I did have a perm and the hair felt more dried on those days than recently, after bleaching... Olaplex miracles, maybe?
Absolutely Katie Asian hair will always be difficult to lift, the point This video wasn’t to point out that Asian hair is difficult to lift, the point of this video is not break manufacturers guidelines or at least if you are understand that you are and that 10,20,30 & 40 volume all perform differently in the same amount of time some people believe that there is no difference between the pro oxide the difference is there if you follow the manufacturers guidelines. 😁👍🏻
As an anonymous user, I dislike your comment about it being “Asian hair” that wouldn’t lift higher. As a professional, with the right technique, a better quality lightener, and patience, I could get someone with resistant hair really light. 🧐🧐
@@Ohaigirr very true, I've seen it done on a video that I think was Korean? Don't really know for certain due to the video being really good but no English subtitles. The hair artist did a bleach ombre on dark Asain hair and later went over that with more bleach in a balayage type pattern. She went from a level 7 gold with the first go to a level 10+ light blonde with highlights all over. Very beautifully done and yes the hair looked very healthy, with no breakage or damage.
Your final results were 10 vol = 6, 20 vol = 7 and 6, 30 vol = true 7, and 40 vol = pretty close to 8. Check your redken color chart. It’s a lifesaver when it comes to lightening and toning. Good message about following manufacturers directions. Always a must. Period.
I found this video, as someone who has processed hair I'm looking to trying to lighten my hair as much as possible to have a more vibrant color than what I have now. A friend of mine had told me a 20 vol would be safer for me because my hair is fine and also has been processed before but still strong. I've been botched by my own stylist where she didn't seem to really care about the unevenness of the bleaching process and she didn't even tone my hair. So I'm attempting to do it myself. My hair is at a level 3-4 with silvery blue ends. Any advice I'd appreciate!
Hi spooki, As you can imagine it’s incredibly difficult for me to help you without seeing your hair but the premise of this video is that bleaching your hair for long times than the Manufacture recommend is not necessarily a good thing 20 volume yes is less damaging than 40 volume and if your hair is already been bleached I don’t recommend you going with any higher than 20 volume also most manufacturers only recommend bleaching hair for a maximum of 20 minutes it has previously been bleached if you are bleaching your hair yourself at home and please make sure that you are following the manufacturers guidelines so that you do not further damage your hair beyond repair making sure that he is a good protein treatment will be very important in the future to try and stem some of the damage that you have created from bleaching your hair I hope this helps Best James
I used 30 volume in my bleaching mixture. I left the bleach on for 70 minutes. My hair turned almost white....and I had NO damage to my hair or scalp. I have dark brown/black hair. I only needed to process once to achieve almost white. Dark brown/black has should process for 60-70 minutes per manufacturers instructions, from the company. Medium to light blonde takes 20-25 minutes, light brown to dark blonde take 30-40 minutes, dark blonde to medium brown takes 45-60 minutes. And NEVER use hair dryers as a catalyst to bleach hair. Cover hair with cap, your head's natural heat is the perfect, consistent way to accelerate hair bleach. Never do more then 2-2 bleach processing of hair, as you will destroy your hair and scalp. Chemical hair processors...perms, dyes, bleaching absorbs into the scalp then into the blood stream...that is why you NEVER massage chemicals into the scalp. All hair stylists should be required to take a college cosmetology chemistry course to be certified to use chemicals on client's hair. I am an RN who took 4 chemistry courses in college and those course helped me to understand how "peroxide & bleach & perm solutions" work on our hair. You also, have to take in consideration a client's hair texture, skin tone & pigmentation, as those will tell you what volume of developer you should use and how to prevent dark hair from turning orange after bleaching.
If I remember correctly, Manic panic's bleach says it can process for 90 minutes maximum. I also agree that extra heat shouldn't be used because it opens the cuticle a bit too much while already having a strong chemical on it.
When I went to cosmetology school in NJ we learned chemistry,the circulatory system,the muscular system,the skeletal system,bacteriology,the structure of the hair, the structure of the skin,porosity of the skin and hair and nail bed and the and the structure of finger and toe nails. When my friends saw my textbooks they couldn’t believe that we had to learn so much to be able to do hair. Every state has different requirements there are some countries where you don’t even go to cosmetology school you do an internship for three or four years before you are allowed to cut hair. I went to cosmetology school plus I didn’t internship at a very high end salon in NYC. My internship required me to bring in models one or two times a week and to be instructed by by senior stylist on how to cut and color hair properly. All top salons in New York City that you read about in magazine require that you do an internship. I feel the hairdressing courses could be better they should add marketing,customer service, psychology and add a business course to the curriculum.Vidal Sassoon took acting courses to learn how to speak properly to be able to communicate with a high end clientele.
So interesting! I love how informative your videos are. I watch a stylist who advocates for low and slow, but he does say to check frequently and don't leave on longer than the manufacturer's guidelines. He says it's better to do 2 rounds of low vol. rather than 1 round of high vol. left on too long. He's also said that the low vol. developers tend to cancel out more orange and yellow tones. Has anyone noticed this? The 10 vol. here came out beautiful without even toning!
Hello! The video was very informative thank you! I have one question though, I just bleached my hair with a 40 developer, and after seeing this video I'm very concerned about my scalp and hair :'( while rinsing after bleach, there were no clumps of hair that fell out or anything, then would that mean it wasn't too much damage?? Also, what would you recommend to do after bleaching to keep the hair healthy?? Thank you so much for the video!
You should be fine Jennifer, I probably would keep bleach you hair with 40V, and most manufacturers do not recommend 40V on scalp if you are just be extremely careful, if you are using foil 30V or 20V will get the job done, If you doing an off scalp technique like Balyage 40V or 30V depending on the hair quality and if you aren’t going to cover it or not. don’t worry to much about your hair at the moment make sure you are using a good protein treatment to keep you hair strong. 😁👍🏻
Thank you for this video! Very insightful and informative. Hard to find a video experimenting developers with Asian hair and this is so detailed! I agree with your point. Following the guidelines is safer since it is how the product is supposed to be used.
Nice video, so since the process time matters for the damage, what about those additional bonding substances like olaplex, matrix bond untim8, etc. Do they really help cut on the damage?
I ALWAYS bleach with 7V or 10V and I take the hair to white with no significant damage (Latina’s, asian, doesn’t matter). I have never used 20 without really drying the hair like crazy and 30 or 40 are even out of the question

Could you repeat this experiment but in reverse, using a dark permanent hair color on the bleached strands and compare how fast the different developers activate/oxidize the color at each level?
Dear God🙏in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.

With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.
You get your lift from the bleach itself or the tube of color your using. The developer is like the gas pedal. It's how fast you want to get from point A to B. Your choice as a stylist what the clients hair can handle.
Stacy Young Exactly Stacey that is exactly how it works but my point is when people are using low and slow and misunderstanding what it is all about they are breaking the manufacturers guidelines I have read many an article on line people advocating to break manufacturers guidelines not necessarily even being aware that they are advocating such things but if you break the manufacturers guidelines and something as well the consequences can be devastating as I’m sure you’re aware 😁👍🏻
Low and slow worked best for my light brown very long hair. It’s still silky healthy no breakage and no damage at all using 10 vol developer with bond protection bleach
I bleached my dark brown hair twice in one day I used 30 vol and left it on for 40 mins and did it again. My hair is significantly lighter with no damage its like a bright orange/peach colour. It actually looks good however I am wanting to go blonde. Would you suggest doing it one more time with 30 volume for another 40 mins or should I leave it on for less time or use a lower vol with my hair already being very light already? Thanks
Great Question Jennifer I would go with Manufacturers recommendations on this one and use 30vol for 20mins on any previously bleached hair and and 40mins on and unbleached parts 😁👍🏻
Please please could you do a video on virgin hair that is light to begin with (like a dark blond/light brown), that does not lift easily? And the process one should do to get it to lift?
Well you should pay attention to an even application and distribution of the product. Comparing the 10 vol strand to the 40 vol strand there is less product on the 10 vol strand than the 40 vol. For an even lift the hair should 'swim' in the product. Despite that a level 8 is reached when you have yellow, if orange is visible it is max a level 7. There is definitely no level 8 visible.
Can you make a video doing the same test on dark hair mix with grey hair using brown dye. 🤔 What level of peroxide is to be use when i want a darker shades?
Tnx. for great video! High volume is fine for open air. In foils higher vol. generate higher temperature. I prefer low&slow in foils, strandlights, platinum card... Saturation is also very important part.
Absolutely saturation is king when it comes to bleaching you’re dead right and full techniques invariably always go over manufacturers guidelines for processing so low and it a great idea with foils 😁👍🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair, I have a lot of Caucasian hair type clients. Very hard to achieve clean lvl. 10. After many options, low&slow, thin sections and high saturation gives me best results. High vol. of peroxide and rich saturation in foils almost always cause bleeding. For open air and warm tone, high vol. of peroxide is ok. Sorry for my broken English! :)
This was really helpful. When I trained we were always told low and slow. Infact. I’ve never used 40vol in someone’s hair ever out of the pure fear that was drilled into me!
Boy do I have a story for you. I am getting ready to do a beautiful balayage on myself after going to a salon and wasting 700 dollars to be a weird ginger with a horizontal line across where my roots are and where the color begins Wanted a blonde balayage and got that instead Starting hair is level 2! Will let you know my results You are the best teacher
I have bleached my hair with 3% (10 volume) and I'd like to redo my roots with 2%, because 3% was almost a bit too bright for me as I want to dye my hair orange anyways. Is that a good idea or should I just go with the 10 volume again?
You could probably use 2% if you’ve only got 1 cm or less of regrowth if you’ve got any more than that then 3% will be the only way probably it’s difficult to say without seeing it in real life obviously, but if you got the job done by 3% it might just be best to stick with that
The temperature of the air in the room matters too, and if you were to have covered them shut, air.. Interesting tho! Would be cool to do Caucasian hair and do a with olaplex test too!
Yer room temperature and the product drying out plays a big part you are exactly rite I have so other videos I am going to make with some different Variations on this video 👍🏻😁
Results will vary depending on your hair. My hair is as dark but it’s fine so both the 30 and 40 volume would leave my hair platinum blonde by 50 minutes.
Yes absolutely Sharon results will vary depending on the hair density 😁👍🏻 50 minutes is the maximum development time. You can most definitely take it off for that time Science has proven the last time the hair has lighting on it or is in a alkaline state the less damage you will create 😁👍🏻
That happened with me .. if with volume 10 my hair bleach very fast I don’t why ? My hairdresser have a lot afraid .. if during application.. after 5 minute already blonde yellow
Me too Sharon. I have dark roots about a level 3 or 4, but have fine textured hair & a lot of it. I get mine highlighted with foils, LOTS & LOTS of baby lights foils. My stylist’s have only used 20 volume on me & for the maximum time every time & tones it afterwards. My highlights are platinum but sometimes 15-20 minutes of low heat ( heat lamp that rotates ) is necessary to get me there. I have really long hair & no extensions needed either. I wonder if 30 volume would work better & then no heat at all would be needed? I get nervous as 20 volume is all anyone has ever used on me & my hair is so fine I don’t want any breakage. Any recommendations James? I forgot to mention a bond builder “B3” has always been added to my process as well or Olaplex for added protection. But I’m curious your opinion James on which you think might be best for my hair since it’s fine. 30 volume with no heat, or 20 volume with some heat near the end of processing?
Hi Cheryl yes you are totally correct when we talking about 10 volume in terms of using it alongside tint because tint is not as alkaline as bleach for instance when 10 volume is mixed with bleach it will lift to the same level as 40 volume for instance providing it’s left on for a longer time this video is not about breaking manufacturers guidelines we see a lot of people advocating leading on bleach with low volumes for very long periods of time this contravenes manufacturers guidelines in terms of how long we should leave our bleach on the hair so I wanted to make people aware that 40 volume will lift lighter than 10 volume providing we are sticking to the manufacturers guidelines your insurance is not valid if you surpass the lifting limits of the manufacturers recommendations

me watching this while getting ready to bleach my asian hair w 40 vol lol
How’d it go?
Superb, iomelette that was my question to how did you get on? 👍🏻
well my hair didnt fall out in clumps or anything but i had my hair pink once then tried to cover it w black so i jus got to a light pink and my root grow out was blonde so i gave up and went for dark blue lol
HANNA go with 10 and do a slow process
HANNA did u just the developer in your head without mixing with none ?
I think rules like this from American and European stylists are good guidelines for their target market audience - Caucasian, normal to fine hair. But I do a lot of Asian hair with a tight, resistant cuticle and if I did low and slow I’d have a lot of unwanted redheads walking around or really long processing times. I think stylists need to use common sense and our knowledge of texture, porosity, density and starting level to determine formulas.
Absolutely well said Shockalockabocka that’s bang on the money it’s about hairdressers understanding what why are going and why 😁👌🏻
Yes!!
I have this lady do my hair and it took 7 hours for a root touchups and she toned my hair 2 different times because it was SO orange at the root. She only uses 20 vol developer and now I think I know why!!!
shockalockabocka look at Zach mesquit on Instagram. He does a platinum education Snapchat. He always uses super low developers even on Hispanic and Asian hair
ugh my girlfriend is Asian, and wants a different Blondee every time, purple, icy, warm... ugh FM
so is like how do you get her roots lifted while bumping up her ends to the blonde she wants without damaging her ends, or without her roots being orange? how many bowls of Lightner does one client take??
I bleached my hair today with the schwarzkopf blondme and 20 vol developer - the low and slow method is recomended on the packaging and it lifted beautifully
Interesting Anni well the point of this video is that you should follow the Manufacturers guidelines so if they recommend it then super if something goes wrong you are covered 👍🏻 out of interest what does in say ???
Anni baer can I see the outcome please? I’ve heard so many good things about blondme
@@matthewthatguy9567 its blue now sorry
It would of gone lighter if it was processing on a warm head.
Yes exactly 👍🏻
Or closed foil
Incubation added of course.
All these are good factors to a extended lift however if you think about this is very similar to when you just do a scalp bleach 👍🏻😁
The Life Of Hair very true.. except for the heat. I think you said the scalp was like 35degrees or something before. Can’t remember exactly my dear friend. Thanks.
James thanks this is great !
Our karma System has turned this on its head
With our intelligent developers we can lift 3 to 4 shades in 12 to 15 mins without compromising the hair in any way. We have no fears of damaging the hair whatsoever.
Yes ... it sounds hard to believe!!!
Great video
sounds amazing i would love to trial it .
I would like to say that the alkaline mixture may have the same pH but the strength of pushing through the keratin layers depends on the peroxide vol. pushing quickly though keratin bonds of hair causes damage or breakage to hair strands. After 50_60 minutes we can wash hair to complete bleaching the next visit. or we can remove the mixture between fingers and put a new mixture on the same visit according to the state
Thank you for your comment all the best James
Wow this is super informative, I have asian hair and I cannot thank you enough for doing this video.
lmao, i used 40vol once on my naturally level 8 hair and it worked so fast i couldn’t get an even coverage. i swapped right back to my 20vol/30 minutes processing routine 😅
Absolutely my friend that I didn’t say that one size fits all this is a you choose scenario you pick the best technique for your style of work you just need to bear in mind the manufacturers guidelines that is all I am trying to say in this particular video ✌🏻
This is the most useful video that I've seen so far 🙂 thanks for the advice
Wonderful Val great to hear
I legit didn’t expect this to be like a real life science experiment tho 😂😂😂
Very interesting theory, I've never heard of this 'being in alkaline state' thing. This was very well edited video. Thank you :)
Thanks its very helpful coz i wanna dye blonde at the ends but not the roots ... so yah we should read instructions and go about it and do our own thing otherwise there will be great damage to hair ... and not leave it on for 2 hours ... yeah I got it
Thanks for a guideline.
My pleasure glad you liked it 😁👍🏻
Thank you so much for this information!
I'm about to bleach my friend's hair and I'm pretty excited, I hope it turns out well even though I have bleached my own hair before, new sub from Mexico 🇲🇽😉
One quick question, if his hair is a natural (virgin) level 4 and he wants bright neon pink hair, should I lift to a level 9/10 or can I work with a level 8 as well?
Hope you have a lot of success, you really deserve a lot of subs
Superb I hope it turned out well?! I
Thanks for the Sub. For neon pink hair I would say we need to get it closer to 9/10 rather that 8 However you don’t really need it to be a 10, I recommend neutralising the hair with a violet colour before you apply the pink to have the most neutral platform to apply your pink too 👍🏻
Finally I get this video Thanyou I learned alot Good job s 👍👍
Wonderful glad you got it!
Hi that was informative video just wanna share with you that our Asian hairs r so tough they hv so much red pigments in that case what should we do during streaks or color change seeking professional advice
Thanks moon45🙏🏻
this is exacly what my hair looks like bleaching it from natural black with 30 developer
I’m assuming you’ve got very dark hair then 😁👍🏻
So I’ve been bleaching my hair for a while now ever since a hair stylist burn the hell out of my hair 🙃🙃 it was horrible. I found a method that has helped me a lot when lifting the color of my hair I have a level 2 or 3 hair. So when retouching my roots I go in with a hair color a blonde color and just mix it with peroxide 30 vol. the hair dye advertises that it can lift up to 5 levels and it gets it to a 5 or 6 level which is like a gold orange. Then I go ahead and apply actual bleach after I left my hair rest from the application I’ve done before with the hair dye. Doing that method has safe my hair a lot from damage and it lifts way faster. So I honestly I just be doing one round of bleach when usually it can take up to 2 rounds of bleach to get it to a 9 level hair
Superb Nicole yes this is called breaking the base do you use a tint or a high lift to lift the hair and then applied beach afterwards exactly like you described it is a cracking technique one that I advocate for someone of your natural level wanting to get to very pale blonde. 👍🏻😁
The Life Of Hair it’s a high lift from lo’ real called beach baby lights in champagne blonde
I have a rather dark natural level 4/5 and have thought about using a high lift blonde color after an initial bleach application as to not damage my hair any further. Little did I know that this method was used buy others and actually is ok to do. Also didn't think about using the high lift color first before any bleach. Would it be possible to keep using the high lift blonde to gradually lift the hair untill it reached the actual light blonde color, without any bleach?
I want to know how the quality of the hair compares between them all
That’s a good question thank you well to be honest there wasn’t really much difference in the feel of them after processing I don’t know what they would look like under a micro scope hope that helps
Idk if it s just ur camera but i see all the results darker than u said (vol 40 looks nothing like a lv 9 to me lol) . Also about the low and slow i personaly find it less damaging to the hair (especialy virgin hair) but it takes more time then i usualy have so unless i get lot of free time i would straight go for vol40 or 30...and the manufacture time isn't that useful on my clients (lv3 lv4 mostly) , it would never lift to a bright blond in 50mns . I just check my foils and the hair elasticity every now and then , but it takes usualy 1h30 to process (if the hair is healthy enough for that prosessing time)
Course it is a bit tricky to accurately represent the colour sometime some video I am working on this I only have new cameras now since I first from this video. The only problem with manufacturers guidelines is that they don’t always feel the modern requirements of what is expected But if we don’t stick to them and something is wrong then the manufacturer will not cover us so it’s a little bit of a tricky situation to manufacturer to have longer recommended development times now
Thank you for this!
You are very welcome 😁👍🏻
great experiment love it
Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍🏻
Love This video very helpful
Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍🏻
I have around level 5 chocolate brown hair (with reddish/orange tones). I want a light brown color more on the cooler side so a bit ashy. My hair was bleached 1,5 years ago and it damaged my hair a lot because I've got wavy dry hair naturally. I went from waist length to collarbone length in 1 year because of the damage lol Now I really want to lighten it to a cool light brown shade and I want to use a very ashy dye to tone it but I don't know wheter I should use bleach powder + developer (20 vol) and then use the dye, or just use the dye with 30 volume developer.. I really don't want to damage my hair but I also really want to get the warm tones out of my hair :(
can someone please answer?
Oh and I’m doing baby lights for lightening and in between my foils low lighting with 6gn and 6t equal parts for that ugly underline pigment w/o diluting. Would you suggest that or something else?
Yes providing that your undertone is orange on the colour that you are trying to cover with the 6GN and 6T combo 😁👍🏻
Great topic
Is this just testing out the levels of peroxide or does it have blonde colour mixed with it as well? I'm new to all this bleach talk.
Thanx for the video!! What did or should you mix developer with?
You are very welcome I mix the developers with blue powder bleach
Very Nice
Thank you 🙏🏻
you are the best ,bro i wanna ask just one question:the big bundle of human hairOn which you took the test What color is it (what level is it?)hope you to answer me and thank you
Hi thank you very much glad you enjoyed it! The hair that I was colouring was from a client with Asian hair and it was level three
I personally think that it is total bs to say (Especially in the comment section) that asian hair is difficult to deal with.
As a person of asian decent, I have observed many times that other hairdressers when they would have an asian client would comme up with the typical excuse of « It is “impossible” to go blonde in one session because you have asian hair » just because they aren’t able to do it with the knowledge, skills and resources they have.
With the bleach I’m using (Schwarzkopf Blondme premium 9+ lightener), I can lift clients with “asian hair” from a virgin level 3 to a level 12 (A shade of yellow so pale it almost looks white)... in one bleach session. All using 40 vol on midlenght and end with the platinum card technique for 45 min under medium setting heat.
So it’s not about the hair being from an Asian person, it’s about knowing how to bleach asian hair correctly with the right product.
I think what people are saying Adrian is You have to take extra steps to lift Asian hair to very light bit like you’re saying in your description how you do it you use the light now that is 9+ levels of left using platinum card technique And various other steps to get the hair that light whereas with European hair that is lighter by nature and I’m only generally speaking usually level six and above you do not have to take the steps to get the lift that we are talking about As I’m sure you are quite aware you can quite often just apply the product straight to the hair and get the desired shade if it’s a full version application of course you may have to apply the ends first or take consideration from the heat of the scalp but you do not need to do a platinum card technique nor do you need to use 9+ levels of left bleach Search these extra steps are the reason that people are considering Asian hair to be more difficult I hope you can see where they’re coming from. I hear your frustration as well I must say I think every hairstylist should be able to do every hair type 😁✌🏻
Sir ek var app Matrix,wella or Schwarzkopf shampoo video bnae
I use 40 on very light brown and no damage. Left on 40 minutes
Superb Lucia that’s fantastic 👍🏻
did u use it on your scalp ?
Thank You!
this was fun thank you
Which volume to go from dark brown/ black to light brown hair
I just did my hair with “expired” developer it turned out fine
Can you do this with blond/ level 7 hair?
Good video!
I have a question :) My natural hair is dark brown and i have grey hair. Right now hair cut is very short, without any dye. Later planing to go on blond. But please can you tell me if i will use 30 vol developer ones to go up in levels, should i repet one more time bleaching with 30 vol to go totally light and than dye with blond hair color? Should i bleach it and keep it for 30 min only? Scare not to damage. Roots want to bleach with 20 vol. is it ok? Thank you and will wait for respond 🌹
Hi, I purchased Orfluido 5.41 color and 35% developer how should I leave the color.
I'm a fast and furious gal. Guilty.
I am too leaning towards the manufacturers guidelines Fast and Furious compare to the new modern standard of leaving bleach on for several hours
Can I use 40 vol or should I not use it..kindly let me know..
If I do a full head of highlights in 50 minutes with 30v on a level 7 (just roots) would I need to start taking the back out straight away? Or would you recommend I start with 20v & halfway use 30v.
Personally I use both of these depending on the scenario if I’ve got loads of time on my hands then I will take the back out when I finished the top. But if I’m Straight into another client I use 10vol into 20vol or 20vol into 30vol depending on the desired level of lift depending on the natural level for instance on the level you’re saying a level seven I would more than likely use 10 vol going into 20 vol 😁👍🏻
I've been searching on google and youtube for a long time because I'm planning on lightening my hair from a brown, so I'm able to get some vibrant colour from semi permanent hair dye, and I found this video most useful so thank you. I'm wondering if you could help me put with the meaning of toner?
Hello Amy Lou I’m glad you enjoyed the video, A toner is to do pretty much exactly what it says change the tone, For example if the hair is yellow I your put violet on it you will get a neutral colour should therefore you have toned the hair to neutral 😁👍🏻
Thanks a lot 🙏
Tatiana Ayala You are very welcome Tatiana
For bleaching roots, instead of low and slow with 20 vol, would 30 vol be more appropriate?
(for dark brown roots that cannot lift to pale yellow with 20 vol if left on only for an hour)
i have very dark brown hair that’s never been bleached, and i got a 40 & 20 volume developer. is it safe for me to use the 40 volume developer or should i dilute it with water?
I personally use 40v quite a lot in the salon the thing about using 40 V is that you need to get it on and off as quickly as possible when I say as quickly as possible obviously you still need to develop it to the point where you are getting the results that you desire putting 20 volume on the scalp first for the first 1 cm is a great idea because applying 40 volume to the scalp is never recommended
Does it change at all if you go in every 10 minutes to comb it just a bit??
No I don’t think so
What volume are u adversing to use to colour hair
Thank you.
Love the comparison and knowing this was Asian hair. Great experiment.
Great Laura, glad you enjoyed it 😁👍🏻

@@TheLifeOfHair so what is he saying how long to leave it on the hair for to develop
Thanks for using Asian hair! Finally feeling represented LOL
Fantastic glad I could be of assistance 😁👍🏻
Now you should tone them all to see how much red will be removed at those orange levels so people can see nothing will happen when hair is not light enough.
Yes I believe I actually have a video in mind talking exactly about this particular subject, Thank you very much for the video suggestion.
@Leely Moonster Do you mean as in going darker? Toning a brick manic panic red can be toned to brown but never in my life have I seen an orange toned to blonde. It has to be lifted to a shade light enough and be yellow. This dark orange that people with natural black hair will have to go yellow to tone to 10 blonde. If you know of a special brand and formula that can achieve lightening and toning on a glaze by all means please share! 😃🙌👍
@@herdzale522 Yes i agree, exactly what you said. A lot of people get confused and hear "tone" and think it's magically going to then orange into platinum blonde.
@@ibelieve1674 any permanent hair color can lighten and tone at the same time. Also, you can tone at whatever level you lift to with any hair color. You're welcome
@@xpndnglmts Thanks but I wasn't talking about double processing or adding permanent hair color or high lift to lighten to the desired shade. I was referring to let's say Asian hair lifted from black to orange left in that state. No toner or shades eq will lift that and make it blonde. It's chemically impossible. Sure you can coat it to another tone but the results will not be Reese Witherspoon Legally blonde "blonde" . Hope that clears it up.
A good experiment would be to compare the integrity of the hair when you use 40 vol vs 10 vol until you reach the same colour with both developers .
Damaged cuticles. It would be better to do multiple bleachings with 20 vol spread out than to overprocess the hair like that.
@@kapee4235 same i have black hair but in planning to buy 20vol and 10 vol and highlights , one to lift and one to mix with hair dye to deposit the dye to the hair
Exactly, that's what really would matter
Yes but it would be better on hair that's still attached to the head? Maybe the effect is different on hair that's been cut off but idk
@@charlielove1679 yeah it would because of the heat from your scalp that is also the reason why when you have previously dyed hair you should never start on the root area after processing you have almost white roots and a harsh orange rest of your hair I made that mistake the first time I bleached my own hair
The fact that this video is 11 minutes and 11 seconds is so satisfying
when he says pale yellow and your 20/20 vision says "hell naw"
Yeah his colors and leveling was off. Those strands were levels 4-6
OMG!!!! I said the same thing! This video is fraud lol
Pale yellow is more like the color of a 🍌....that what he was showing was chicken fat yellow
As if its our fault us Asian has red undertone lmao jokes on them in planning to go vevelt red , i want cat valentines hair
Tbh the "Pale yellow" 40 v. looks like a level 8. The hair seems very resistant too. Asian hair tends to have thick individual strands (of course there are exceptions). Also there's other factors like is it porous, virgin hair, do they tend to use heat? etc. This is why a lot of hairstylist turn away bleach jobs especially if you had color of any kind previously. I personally got turned away by over 5 salons in my area and I had virgin hair. They just don't want to be set up for failure and it will make their reputation look bad.
Interesting stuff! Thanks! ... Did you do elasticity tests on the pieces after? Honestly I expected the 30 and 40v to go a little lighter.
No I didn’t doing the Elasticity test on them afterwards the hair was so strong Asian hair normally is, Yes one thing I will say though is that they were air processed so you would’ve got more lift had to have been covered by a foil so it’s a good gauge of what you might get from the scalp breach if you were going to do something like that with that type of hair but not a good gauge if you were looking to do highlights. Hope that makes sense 😁👍🏻
they usually would lift lighter with the heat from your head , he didn’t close the foils or anything
Absolutely LOVE this!!! I have super dark, thick, hair, about a level 3 SUPER DARK, and my stylist ALWAYS starts my highlights at 30vol so by the time she's halfway done, it's already been awhile, and she moves up to the 40vol so that my highlights will be even. But even with 40vol dev, we leave the foils in for at LEAST 2 hours total (sometimes longer) and will still need to repeat the highlights after 2 weeks because they just don't lift high enough.. damage is pretty minimal, though I do trim my hair every 4-6 weeks a tiny bit, and only wash about twice a week, and don't use any heat for styling anymore, plus sleep with a silk pillowcase, use a silicone mix leave in treatment often, and argan oil on the ends regularly. But usually the second round of bleach w/ 40vol, the worst that happens is some hair breaks off the first couple weeks, since I have super thick hair, I don't mind it at all, plus it gives me a textured hair cut lol. But yeah, when I tell people I use 40 vol for my bleach, they are like, "NOOO do LOW AND SLOW!" I'm like, but duuuude, I use HIGH and slow, I'm not using the high volumes for faster lift... I'm doing it for a HIGHER lift, and still have to leave it on as long as others would with a 20 vol.
Wonderful comment thank you very much yes sometimes higher volumes are the answer glad that your stylist appreciate that
This is amazing! You’ve explained this so easily! Easier than some hair colorists I’ve seen on UA-cam.
Oh that is very kind of you to say I do try my best to keep things as concise and simple as possible
Pale golden yellow when it’s full on brown orange 💀💀
Thank you so much you cleared my doubts.. I'm about to bleach my hair with 40 volume next time..
Superb Jason quick heads up though be very cautious of using powerful 40 volume on your scalp Most manufacturers don’t recommend it so proceed with caution if you’re going to use 40 volume sometimes if you want to clean the slightest results it’s better to use a lower volume and beat your hair twice but again beating your head twice can be treacherous so always be careful 👍🏻
This was soooooooooooo educational and more insightful than any video of colouring I’ve ever watched! Thanks so much for your professionalism!! You rock💖👌🏾💕💕💕 you just gained a new subscriber!!
Was lazy about bleaching my dark roots then found an expert to encourage me with his charming presence. 😂
Glad that I could assist you in seeing the differences Rania ✌🏻😁
How’d it go
The hydrogen gas is what makes the higher developer lighten the hair faster. It appears to be working faster as there is a fast paced lifting stage when it is lifting however it slows down not long after because the percentage is higher. This would absolutely work for an expert when they are relying on little time however it can be dangerous to strip colour out of the Cortex to a high level very quickly if the hair is in any way compromised or has limitations to begin with. I loved your analysis and I think your are very articulate within your narration when delivering video content. Great work! 🙂
Wonderful stuff track fish thank you very much for your comment
Thanks for this video to be honest I didn’t know u could use 10 to bleach at all and I’ve always been on the fence about using 40 so worried of the Damage all this was very informational and I so appreciate the video and I still agree with you about manufacturers directions
Glad you enjoyed the video Khris I am glad you got so new information from it 😃👌🏻
I even use 1.9% as well 😊
Aaron Pupuke 👍🏻😁
In a foil thin sections I start with 10 vol and as I move up I bump the developer . I will do a partial rinse out of the bottom sections because those sections will be done by the time I’ve finished the top .
Fantastic Sarah that is exactly how it should be done ✅ 😁
I do have black asian hair and when I went to to my hair stylist (to get a purple hair), she used different volumes in different parts of my hair... but from what I heard her talking to the assistant, she used 10, 20 and 30v... It took more than two hours to lift until a pale yellow, but I felt basically no damage afterwards... I mean, really back in the past I did have a perm and the hair felt more dried on those days than recently, after bleaching... Olaplex miracles, maybe?
Very interesting well it sounds like you have a very conscientious hairstylist and yes Olaplex will go along way to stopping the hair feeling dry
It probably would have lifted higher if it wasn’t Asian hair. 20 and 30 vol are what I use I’ve never used 40 vol.
Absolutely Katie Asian hair will always be difficult to lift, the point This video wasn’t to point out that Asian hair is difficult to lift, the point of this video is not break manufacturers guidelines or at least if you are understand that you are and that 10,20,30 & 40 volume all perform differently in the same amount of time some people believe that there is no difference between the pro oxide the difference is there if you follow the manufacturers guidelines. 😁👍🏻
As an anonymous user, I dislike your comment about it being “Asian hair” that wouldn’t lift higher. As a professional, with the right technique, a better quality lightener, and patience, I could get someone with resistant hair really light. 🧐🧐
@@Ohaigirr very true, I've seen it done on a video that I think was Korean? Don't really know for certain due to the video being really good but no English subtitles. The hair artist did a bleach ombre on dark Asain hair and later went over that with more bleach in a balayage type pattern. She went from a level 7 gold with the first go to a level 10+ light blonde with highlights all over. Very beautifully done and yes the hair looked very healthy, with no breakage or damage.
Is south Asian (Indian, Pakistani etc) included in this?
Your final results were 10 vol = 6, 20 vol = 7 and 6, 30 vol = true 7, and 40 vol = pretty close to 8. Check your redken color chart. It’s a lifesaver when it comes to lightening and toning.
Good message about following manufacturers directions. Always a must. Period.
Does 10 vol cause the least hair damage ?
My ADHD brain LOVES this way to learn!!!! Thanks a ton!!
I found this video, as someone who has processed hair I'm looking to trying to lighten my hair as much as possible to have a more vibrant color than what I have now. A friend of mine had told me a 20 vol would be safer for me because my hair is fine and also has been processed before but still strong. I've been botched by my own stylist where she didn't seem to really care about the unevenness of the bleaching process and she didn't even tone my hair. So I'm attempting to do it myself. My hair is at a level 3-4 with silvery blue ends. Any advice I'd appreciate!
Hi spooki, As you can imagine it’s incredibly difficult for me to help you without seeing your hair but the premise of this video is that bleaching your hair for long times than the Manufacture recommend is not necessarily a good thing 20 volume yes is less damaging than 40 volume and if your hair is already been bleached I don’t recommend you going with any higher than 20 volume also most manufacturers only recommend bleaching hair for a maximum of 20 minutes it has previously been bleached if you are bleaching your hair yourself at home and please make sure that you are following the manufacturers guidelines so that you do not further damage your hair beyond repair making sure that he is a good protein treatment will be very important in the future to try and stem some of the damage that you have created from bleaching your hair I hope this helps Best James
It was the best comparison of developers I've ever seen. Thank you so much❣
Glad you appreciated it ✌🏻👍🏻
I used 30 volume in my bleaching mixture. I left the bleach on for 70 minutes. My hair turned almost white....and I had NO damage to my hair or scalp. I have dark brown/black hair. I only needed to process once to achieve almost white.
Dark brown/black has should process for 60-70 minutes per manufacturers instructions, from the company. Medium to light blonde takes 20-25 minutes, light brown to dark blonde take 30-40 minutes, dark blonde to medium brown takes 45-60 minutes.
And NEVER use hair dryers as a catalyst to bleach hair. Cover hair with cap, your head's natural heat is the perfect, consistent way to accelerate hair bleach. Never do more then 2-2 bleach processing of hair, as you will destroy your hair and scalp. Chemical hair processors...perms, dyes, bleaching absorbs into the scalp then into the blood stream...that is why you NEVER massage chemicals into the scalp.
All hair stylists should be required to take a college cosmetology chemistry course to be certified to use chemicals on client's hair.
I am an RN who took 4 chemistry courses in college and those course helped me to understand how "peroxide & bleach & perm solutions" work on our hair.
You also, have to take in consideration a client's hair texture, skin tone & pigmentation, as those will tell you what volume of developer you should use and how to prevent dark hair from turning orange after bleaching.
If I remember correctly, Manic panic's bleach says it can process for 90 minutes maximum. I also agree that extra heat shouldn't be used because it opens the cuticle a bit too much while already having a strong chemical on it.
Diane Morgan Well-said👌
When I went to cosmetology school in NJ we learned chemistry,the circulatory system,the muscular system,the skeletal system,bacteriology,the structure of the hair, the structure of the skin,porosity of the skin and hair and nail bed and the and the structure of finger and toe nails. When my friends saw my textbooks they couldn’t believe that we had to learn so much to be able to do hair. Every state has different requirements there are some countries where you don’t even go to cosmetology school you do an internship for three or four years before you are allowed to cut hair. I went to cosmetology school plus I didn’t internship at a very high end salon in NYC.
My internship required me to bring in models one or two times a week and to be instructed by by senior stylist on how to cut and color hair properly. All top salons in New York City that you read about in magazine require that you do an internship. I feel the hairdressing courses could be better they should add marketing,customer service, psychology and add a business course to the curriculum.Vidal Sassoon took acting courses to learn how to speak properly to be able to communicate with a high end clientele.

So interesting! I love how informative your videos are. I watch a stylist who advocates for low and slow, but he does say to check frequently and don't leave on longer than the manufacturer's guidelines. He says it's better to do 2 rounds of low vol. rather than 1 round of high vol. left on too long. He's also said that the low vol. developers tend to cancel out more orange and yellow tones. Has anyone noticed this? The 10 vol. here came out beautiful without even toning!
Hello! The video was very informative thank you! I have one question though, I just bleached my hair with a 40 developer, and after seeing this video I'm very concerned about my scalp and hair :'( while rinsing after bleach, there were no clumps of hair that fell out or anything, then would that mean it wasn't too much damage?? Also, what would you recommend to do after bleaching to keep the hair healthy?? Thank you so much for the video!
You should be fine Jennifer, I probably would keep bleach you hair with 40V, and most manufacturers do not recommend 40V on scalp if you are just be extremely careful, if you are using foil 30V or 20V will get the job done, If you doing an off scalp technique like Balyage 40V or 30V depending on the hair quality and if you aren’t going to cover it or not. don’t worry to much about your hair at the moment make sure you are using a good protein treatment to keep you hair strong. 😁👍🏻
You can use olaplex treatment to revive the hair
You should do a video of which causes the least damage on brassy hair
I can sure add it to my list 👍🏻
Thank you for this video! Very insightful and informative. Hard to find a video experimenting developers with Asian hair and this is so detailed! I agree with your point. Following the guidelines is safer since it is how the product is supposed to be used.
Fantastic Charlotte so pleased that you enjoyed the video and you got what it was all about ✌🏻
I have really dark black hair i’m just hoping 40 volume will lighten my hair that much 😫
Nice video, so since the process time matters for the damage, what about those additional bonding substances like olaplex, matrix bond untim8, etc. Do they really help cut on the damage?
I ALWAYS bleach with 7V or 10V and I take the hair to white with no significant damage (Latina’s, asian, doesn’t matter). I have never used 20 without really drying the hair like crazy and 30 or 40 are even out of the question
Super sounds like you have you technique down 👍🏻😁
I do the same, I start with 7 vol for 15 min and then go back in with 10. It always comes beautifully out
@@krislupi66 even with dark hair??
How many trys does it take to get to dark blond?
How many rounds do you have to do? I’m about to do the same, glad to know it works.😊

Porque ante todo les transmití a ustedes lo que yo mismo recibí: que Cristo murió por nuestros pecados según las Escrituras, que fue sepultado, que resucitó al tercer día según las Escrituras, y que se apareció a Pedro, y luego a los doce. Después se apareció a más de quinientos hermanos a la vez,
Could you repeat this experiment but in reverse, using a dark permanent hair color on the bleached strands and compare how fast the different developers activate/oxidize the color at each level?
Dear God🙏in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.
You get your lift from the bleach itself or the tube of color your using. The developer is like the gas pedal. It's how fast you want to get from point A to B. Your choice as a stylist what the clients hair can handle.
Stacy Young Exactly Stacey that is exactly how it works but my point is when people are using low and slow and misunderstanding what it is all about they are breaking the manufacturers guidelines I have read many an article on line people advocating to break manufacturers guidelines not necessarily even being aware that they are advocating such things but if you break the manufacturers guidelines and something as well the consequences can be devastating as I’m sure you’re aware 😁👍🏻
Low and slow worked best for my light brown very long hair. It’s still silky healthy no breakage and no damage at all using 10 vol developer with bond protection bleach
I bleached my dark brown hair twice in one day I used 30 vol and left it on for 40 mins and did it again. My hair is significantly lighter with no damage its like a bright orange/peach colour. It actually looks good however I am wanting to go blonde. Would you suggest doing it one more time with 30 volume for another 40 mins or should I leave it on for less time or use a lower vol with my hair already being very light already? Thanks
Great Question Jennifer I would go with Manufacturers recommendations on this one and use 30vol for 20mins on any previously bleached hair and and 40mins on and unbleached parts 😁👍🏻
Good experiment. I'd like to see one regarding activator lotion and liquid lighteners, on boxed dyed dark blind ash or black dye over blond. Cheers!
Hi Dawn thank you for the comment yes I will add it to my list of experiments I would like to do in the future
Please please could you do a video on virgin hair that is light to begin with (like a dark blond/light brown), that does not lift easily? And the process one should do to get it to lift?
Well you should pay attention to an even application and distribution of the product. Comparing the 10 vol strand to the 40 vol strand there is less product on the 10 vol strand than the 40 vol. For an even lift the hair should 'swim' in the product. Despite that a level 8 is reached when you have yellow, if orange is visible it is max a level 7. There is definitely no level 8 visible.
All good stuff Mattias, thank you for your observations. 👍🏻
How much % are These 10,20,30 and 40 volumes ?
10 V is 3% • 20 V is 6% • 30 V is 9% and 40 V is 12% 👍🏻
Can you make a video doing the same test on dark hair mix with grey hair using brown dye. 🤔 What level of peroxide is to be use when i want a darker shades?
Yes what a fantastic idea, I will do it. *tip I always use 10vol when covering grey hair* 😁👍🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair do you pre soften before a 10 vol grey cover colour?
Tnx. for great video! High volume is fine for open air. In foils higher vol. generate higher temperature. I prefer low&slow in foils, strandlights, platinum card... Saturation is also very important part.
Absolutely saturation is king when it comes to bleaching you’re dead right and full techniques invariably always go over manufacturers guidelines for processing so low and it a great idea with foils 😁👍🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair, I have a lot of Caucasian hair type clients. Very hard to achieve clean lvl. 10. After many options, low&slow, thin sections and high saturation gives me best results. High vol. of peroxide and rich saturation in foils almost always cause bleeding. For open air and warm tone, high vol. of peroxide is ok. Sorry for my broken English! :)
This was really helpful. When I trained we were always told low and slow. Infact. I’ve never used 40vol in someone’s hair ever out of the pure fear that was drilled into me!
Great Tom glad you found this useful 40 V is not the enemy just got to use it with caution
Boy do I have a story for you.
I am getting ready to do a beautiful balayage on myself after going to a salon and wasting 700 dollars to be a weird ginger with a horizontal line across where my roots are and where the color begins
Wanted a blonde balayage and got that instead
Starting hair is level 2! Will let you know my results
You are the best teacher
I have bleached my hair with 3% (10 volume) and I'd like to redo my roots with 2%, because 3% was almost a bit too bright for me as I want to dye my hair orange anyways. Is that a good idea or should I just go with the 10 volume again?
You could probably use 2% if you’ve only got 1 cm or less of regrowth if you’ve got any more than that then 3% will be the only way probably it’s difficult to say without seeing it in real life obviously, but if you got the job done by 3% it might just be best to stick with that
The temperature of the air in the room matters too, and if you were to have covered them shut, air.. Interesting tho! Would be cool to do Caucasian hair and do a with olaplex test too!
Yer room temperature and the product drying out plays a big part you are exactly rite I have so other videos I am going to make with some different Variations on this video 👍🏻😁
Results will vary depending on your hair. My hair is as dark but it’s fine so both the 30 and 40 volume would leave my hair platinum blonde by 50 minutes.
Yes absolutely Sharon results will vary depending on the hair density 😁👍🏻 50 minutes is the maximum development time. You can most definitely take it off for that time Science has proven the last time the hair has lighting on it or is in a alkaline state the less damage you will create 😁👍🏻
did u only use 40 vol. by its self ? or did u put stuff in the vol. ? did it burn your scalp ?
That happened with me .. if with volume 10 my hair bleach very fast I don’t why ? My hairdresser have a lot afraid .. if during application.. after 5 minute already blonde yellow
Me too Sharon. I have dark roots about a level 3 or 4, but have fine textured hair & a lot of it. I get mine highlighted with foils, LOTS & LOTS of baby lights foils. My stylist’s have only used 20 volume on me & for the maximum time every time & tones it afterwards. My highlights are platinum but sometimes 15-20 minutes of low heat ( heat lamp that rotates ) is necessary to get me there. I have really long hair & no extensions needed either. I wonder if 30 volume would work better & then no heat at all would be needed? I get nervous as 20 volume is all anyone has ever used on me & my hair is so fine I don’t want any breakage. Any recommendations James? I forgot to mention a bond builder “B3” has always been added to my process as well or Olaplex for added protection. But I’m curious your opinion James on which you think might be best for my hair since it’s fine. 30 volume with no heat, or 20 volume with some heat near the end of processing?
10 V isn't meant to lift so much, because it can't lift the cuticle fully. No matter how long you leave it on. That's why its used for deposits
Hi Cheryl yes you are totally correct when we talking about 10 volume in terms of using it alongside tint because tint is not as alkaline as bleach for instance when 10 volume is mixed with bleach it will lift to the same level as 40 volume for instance providing it’s left on for a longer time this video is not about breaking manufacturers guidelines we see a lot of people advocating leading on bleach with low volumes for very long periods of time this contravenes manufacturers guidelines in terms of how long we should leave our bleach on the hair so I wanted to make people aware that 40 volume will lift lighter than 10 volume providing we are sticking to the manufacturers guidelines your insurance is not valid if you surpass the lifting limits of the manufacturers recommendations
