I'm not surprised. I have been to Sally Beauty a few times and felt the people working there knew little about bleaching and coloring. What a shame. I hope there are more people like you who are truly interested in helping customers.
me too! I also work at Sally's and I'm a little shocked I always recommend the ion bleach to people bc that's what I've used for years and like and I will no longer be recommending that one. 😬😂
I absolutely love that Brad has the awareness that people do diy hair and, sometimes, we just can't afford to go to the stylist but we need that hair change! So, what does he do? He gives us advice on how to diy safely. Thank you, Brad. ❤️
Me too. I want to go to a professional, sure. But that can be SO expensive. It's out of my budget. Plus, I'm visibly queer and it can be hard to know where I will be safe
sooo after reading all these comments i went to sally’s today and got the ion crème lightener and OH MY GOD!! it is amazing. i’ve never had softer hair post-bleach
I used to work at Sally's and the Ion creme lightener is by far my favorite bleach. I have tight coily hair and when I use their creme lightener with their developer and mix in their Absolute Perfection Booster Step 1. I'm telling you if you want to keep your curl pattern intact, use this combo. My hair feels so brittle with other bleaches, but with Ion's cream lightener, my hair barely feels different and it doesn't come out dry. I always recommended these products, especially the Absolute Perfection Booster Step 1, if you're trying to bleach and you want to ensure the health of your hair, it really does work and I never bleach my hair without it.
ION cream bleach with their sensitive scalp developer is superior to any powder bleach I have ever used. It makes the perfect texture, is easy to apply, and doesn't burn. You don't have the dust issue that you get with powder lighteners, it mixes like a dream, and the smell isn't overpowering.
I totally agree! I use the cream bleach with the sensitive scalp ion developer and it's amazing. My natural hair color is med brown and I dye my hair bright pink and bright purple.
I hated the cream bleach. I have level 2-3 hair and bought some for my roots and they lifted so horribly. not only was it uneven in some places but it also lifted to an ugly brassy yellow orange and I had to rebleach. with my go to, schwarzkopf's blondme, I have always gotten a beautiful lift and the only reason I had gone with the cream bleach was because it was cheaper but that was a mistake.
I usually use ion cream lightener and it fair well (also pretty strong, but not half as damaging as the powder). I personally think cream lightener should be most peoples at home choice as I find it more forgiving. Never the less; I think you should do another round with cream lighteners from Sally’s. Might find something there.
@@jinxxie9593 That's definitely one thing to consider. Almost all of Ion's products do that for some reason. Even their permanent color swells a bit. Kinda strange.
Never tried the powder but I use ion cream bleach and I freaking love that stuff. Works fast and I've done like maybe 2 bleaches with 20 volume along with 2 bleach baths, 2 different times. Hair still feels great. I literally went from blonde, to hulk green, to blonde, to half orange half pink in a span of a week. I couldn't stand the green lol, and I needed it off of my head. That shit did its job lol
This has sold me that i need Ion. I love their colors but never used the bleach. My natural hair is dark blonde but is so hard to lighten. I'm at a level 8 with healthy hair still after 3 box bleach tries. I need something with that extra kick that I don't gotta leave on for an hour.
@me Ashley I say make sure your hair can take it because ion cream bleach will work really fast! Once you see it to the lift you want, rinse immediately so it won't continue to process.
Quick blue has been my go to forever and it’s ever given me any problems, I’ve had my hair bleached over 7 times within around 7-8 months and my hair is still extremely healthy. My hair has never fallen out or felt dry, it’s amazing
Here’s my comments as someone who regularly uses Quick Blue. Personally I’ve never had a problem with it being thick or having clumps, but I use more developer. The patchyness totally wasn’t user error, that’s happened to me every time I’ve used it.
i always use Quick Blue and i didn't have an issue with patchiness if i used it on my virgin hair. last time i used it i had long virgin hair down to my butt and pretty much my whole head lifted to the same shade (my roots lifted a little more than the rest but nothing major). my hair is naturally dark brown, almost black. it's only patchy when i have previously dyed hair. so maybe it's just different from person to person?
@@elainasmith1700 I’ve used QB but didn’t like it and felt it was too harsh without consistent good results. After that I used professional blondeme bleach(not from Sally’s) and that worked amazing. It’s better quality and I’d recommend it. It costs more but it’s worth the investment.
Started bleaching at home during Covid- I’m a BW2 girl all the way! I’ve tried them all, and it does the best and quickest job for me. I definitely open the windows and put a fan in the room where I’m applying- because the terrible dust and smell is REAL. That being said- I’ve got very strong, coarse, level 6/7 hair. For root touch up I like the thick, kind of dry consistency, but definitely rinse and wash twice after bleaching- pre toning. Loved this video! Subscribing now.
As someone who uses the Ion bright white creme lightener bleach…i love that stuff, ive never had an issue with it or ever had a handful of hair fall out and i use it quite often. The creme bleach is better than the powder for this product imo.
I agree!!! I think you just really don’t need 30 vol. I always use 10 or 20 depending on if I’m doing my roots or revamping already bleached strands. Like it don’t need that much power haha
I wish you'd have done prism lites, that's the best bleach at Sally's, available in blue and violet so dark hair starts at blue for a medium lift and violet for high lift, oh and the argan oil cream developer is the best developer they have 😉
I use to love using wella color charm bleach. The smell was great. My hair always felt healthy. I wanted white hair and I got it. It also lightened my dark roots perfectly whenever they grew in. Good times.
@@ChristelVinot Actually, you could be right. I thought I remembered them selling Joico color remover you needed a cosmetology license for in Oregon, but I could be remembering one
@@shatteredscry things might be different in different states. I really don't know much about this stuff so I'm not one to talk lol. I just know I be goin in there and buying anything haha.
Love your videos, Brad. 😘 I would like to add a bit of advice to your viewers who want to lighten at home: DON’T use 30 vol. developers, guys. “Low and slow” is the safest, most reliable way to lighten your hair. The lifting power is in the powder lighteners, the developer just activates them. You can get very bright, beautiful lift with the ION or Wella products, using 10 vol. developer, without the breakage. It will just take time, which shouldn’t be as much of a concern at home. Check your hair after 45 minutes if you’re going for very blonde and reapply fresh product right on top of what’s there to push past those stubborn warm tones. You can do this safely with 10 or even 5 vol. Hope this helps!
I love how I come here for tips on doing my hair but I end up laughing my ass off because you're so entertaining and funny. One of the best UA-camrs for sure.
I use the Ion Bright White crème lightener with their 20 volume developer and I’ve never had my hair fall out like that and I bleach my hair a lot. I’ve never tried the powder version.
I've bleached my hair a handful of times (Using Quick Blue and another one a salon used). In 2020, I bleached my hair using BLONDME by Schwarzkopf and it was the best! It only took 2 sessions + toner to get my Level 2 hair to basically a level 10.
I love BW2. I've never had any problems with it in my numerous bleaching experiences on myself and with friends. Dust is a thing though so prepare yourself once that lid comes off
I bleached my hair myself for the first time last month with the wella & 20volume. I only left it on for about 20 minutes. And successfully got my hair pretty dang blonde without changing my curls or fallout :) just be patient and careful with it
@@two.desi_mates any and all bleach is gonna damage your hair. Just don’t use too high a volume or leave it on too long. Your hair’s current health is gonna also effect how damaged it gets. Sectioning your hair is important so it’s not overwhelming (personally I do four main sections, and start applying in the back first) Very THIN sections when you apply it is super important so you don’t miss spots and it looks even.
@@keyiahmcclain4229 thanks and what volume developer would u recommend for black hair? Yes, it's gonna damage the hair you're right. I've virgin hair and I'm not gonna apply to roots. Just will apply on Lower hair so that in future if I'll find out that I don't need it anymore I can't simply cut them.😅
@@keyiahmcclain4229 because of the damage I'm not gonna take risk to apply it to full hair. Just some strands at the back 😅 like highlights u can say 😅
So I definitely agree that the ion powder lightener causes damage. The ion bright white cream lightener on the other hand is amazing and has taken my hair from black to platinum with no damage. It does have different oils and other ingredients so I'm sure that makes all the difference
@@echo-ue1xy my first step was using color oops since the black was box dye. It took me to a dark reddish color. Then I used foils and 30 volume, lengths and ends first for 45 minutes then hit the roots. I toned with t18 (I know Brad is screaming at that lol) and it was platinum. I maintained with purple shampoo
As a 32 year veteran hairdresser I have tried every bleach on the market. My favorite of all the times that I still used to this day is Schwarzkopf blonde me!
I find this so interesting... even though I left self bleaching back in my 20s and my early 20s at that. I love my hairdresser and she is the only one who touches it with bleach now 😂 I learned my lesson... I have absolutely no talent at colouring my own hair!
I’ve only used the Ion Bright White to bleach my hair before and have never had a problem with hair loss/breakage. But I usually use 20/30vol mixed together and not for so long. I’m super scared to over process so I don’t leave it on for as long!! Don’t be afraid to use it, just keep an eye on your hair ☺️
My ride or die. When used carefully with the corresponding developer (no higher than 30v) I went from copper to level 10. I did it over a few sessions but still seriously impressed 👏
love this stuff too! I even used only 7 volume with it to touch up my roots and it still lifted so quickly and evenly (i'd say i'm about a level 6 as my natural color). The hair felt pretty good after it as well, which surprised me. it's the first bleach i tried and i don't think i'll try another one :D
This is the first time ever that I leave a comment on UA-cam. I really have to write this. Imagine a world full of brads. It is a world I would have loved to live in. I am completely convinced that the world would have been full of joy and love. Such an incredibly wonderful person. Where can I find someone like you? really need a brad of my own in my life to light up the darker days. Never stop being who you are, it would make the world a much darker and sadder place and given the way the world is today, that says a lot. With lots of love all the way from Sweden❤️❤️❤️❤️
I bleached my hair last week and accidentally ended up with bleach burn for the first time ever, my mistake for putting so much in one place, oops. My scalp is fine now, I looked after it while healing and still being careful. I would love to see this kind of video with UK bleach products, if possible 🇬🇧
Maniquins take bleach so much differently!!!!!! I'm in cosmetology school and we all use the same bleach. Three maniquins lost 45% of their hair with one bleaching and one of mine was bleached 3 times and has decent hair
When I used to bleach my hair regularly, I always used quick blue with a 20 developer, I've never had problems with clumping but it looks like I used more developer than Brad did. I also never had it in for more than 10 minutes and I would have fairly even lift. I went to a professional stylist and a week later I cut off all my hair due to the damage, breaking and falling off in clumps. The stylist was aware that I regularly bleached my hair and it was just a disaster of an experience. I stick with doing my own hair because of that.
I love the ion bright white bleach. However, I prefer the creme one, and if you do use powder- I got my Hispanic friends natural black thick hair to lift to bright blonde with just 20 volume developer after sitting for 40 minutes with no foils or anything. I think their formula is just much stronger then all of the others. So I am not surprised that all the hair was over processed!
Brad you forgot the blond brilliance with built in toner bleach. It's really awesome as well..keeps unwanted tones under control somewhat. Love the content and thanks for all you do for us❤️❤️
Thank you soo much for this video! I’ve been bleaching my hair for 6 years and only have used quickblue, saloncare prism lights, and wella. I’m a level 6 and I lift to a 10. I definitely find the best result from quick blue. But I agree on the waste of plastic on the container, it’s ridiculous! Luckily I reuse the bucket after I’m done, planting, storage etc🤷🏼♀️
I recently bleached my hair with ion.... completely agree with the results. I was super cautious with the amount of time I left it on, but it gave me INCREDIBLE lift, much better than wella or loreal. But it was VERY fast and strong, so you gotta be careful of that lol
I use the Ion cream lightener and it works FAST. It bleached out old box color like it never existed. I had it in less than 20 minutes and I was ready to rinse. I'd never use it for 45-60 minutes unless you wanted to melt your skull. On virgin roots it bleached them almost white in about 5 minutes.
Brad I’m honestly shocked by the results of the ion bleach, I always use the CREAM version and my hair isn’t that damaged after. I would like to see you compare the cream to powders to see if there’s actually a difference in damage!!
Not only has Brad taught me literally everything that is worth knowing about hair over the years, but he has given me the confidence to experiment with my own locks 💞 Instead of the usual brown or black, or even a red if I was feeling bold, I'm now going for blues, pinks and greens 😍 and they are stunning! I just wish I could find a way to use Brads amazing waves trick with the iron on short hair without my hair feeling like straw afterwards 😭 It's super frustrating!! No matter what products I use from heat protection, to oils and leave in conditioners, I try EVERYTHING to make it feel close to healthy, but it seems like the minute the irons touch it, I become a scarecrow 🤬 I would love for Brad to do a video on how to help bring hair back to life after it has been damaged 💞
Late comment but I wonder if the temperature has something to do with it. Less heat might dry it out less. Just thinking that your straightener is the common denominator if nothing else is working
I’ve always used Quick Blue and even though it’s been bleached 4 times, my hair is still healthy. Edit: I’ve also never had issues with it being clumpy, although it looks like I add more developer typically than Brad did.
I use Ion bright white in the cream lightner which goes up to 8 levels (my hair is extremely dark brown near black), and use 40 developer on my roots for like 10 to 15 minutes, and it does what it says in that time. So yeah. It is a very powerful lightner so its definitely something to remember when using this brand. I also use their brand developer, too, so i think that helps with it as well.
I use BW2, I can attest that the scent isn’t great, but I’ve gotten used to it bc I bleach my hair almost every month. My hair is always crunchy after using it, but after washing once or twice that usually goes away. I actually think it’s lightener that sticks to your hair and my hair actually got so dry because I one time I didn’t wash it after bleaching and one section of my hair got so dry and is still drier than the rest of my hair today. And I rinsed my hair 4 times to make sure it was all off. So yeah I can confirm that BW2 stinks bad and leaves hair crunchy, but it is great at lightening tho.
Ive had the same problem with manic panic bleach. I use mostly professional now and i dont have the dryness problem due to the built in conditioner. Ion is actually pretty good and the hair doesn't feel like that after
@@ityoboinoley It's worth it. You get a large container and have less damaged hair after using it. These bad bleaches have been on the market too long and need a formula upgrade at least.
I don't know where you buy the Wella bucket bleach powder, but where I live that baby cost $12 for the 16oz bucket, which is enough product for lightening the roots each month or every two months for an entire year. For me, it will last two years of evening out the roots only. As long as I keep up the roots, I don't need to worry about over process or nothing like that. It is amazing product and not expensive at all. I agree,mixing is so easy! I tend to use one scoop for 3oz and that is enough to cover 1.5 inch of roots. I am trying to avoid my naturally silver gunmetal hair but I like to even out my silver locks to look more even color as possible. so I try to avoid going too white so when I use the Kiss tintation silver it doesn't look blue and I don't look like a Maiko shark. Anyways thank you for being sweet on the Wella brand and not trashing it so much. People undermined the inexpensive lower price brands at times. People don;t realize that sometimes the cheaper brands are really good products too.
I would love to see a comparison of the cream lighteners. I first used BW2 powder and completely agree with your assessment 😅 but for the past year and a half I’ve been using Ion’s cream lightener. I leave it on for about 45mins and the results are great, nothing falling out. (For reference I have very dark, very strong 4a/4b hair) I also use their bond protect product line though. I mix the first step in to the bleach and then use the second step for 10mins immediately after rinsing the bleach out. It’s been pretty great. The only experience I have with Wella so far is the T14 toner. I was just trying to get the orange out with a blue based toner. But OMG do not follow the directions on that box!! ❗️I processed for 28mins (box said 30) and it gave me dark GREY on level 9 blonde and a dark mud brown on what was a level 8 blonde. I had to lemon/conditioner soak to lighten it up again. Luckily that added some warmth back. So yea, I’m not a “Wella” fan. 😅
I've only ever used BW2 and I would always open the windows and hold my breath after I scooped it until the dust settled. But I thought all bleaches did that...... 🤡
I used Prism Lites with violet and it was awesome. This is also a product at Sallys. Thanks Brad for this so I don't do something stupid to my hair, ever!
Love this video, love the idea of comparing one kind of popular product from different brands, would love to see a comparison of like level 10 ash toners, or all pinks from different brands etc as a stylist, LOVED this video
I literally just back from Sally's and this is the first video that popped up lol. I usually use Wella bleach and if I'm doing gray hair I use the T14 with the cooling violet additive and I get the perfect gray color. Today I switched it up though and got the salon care prism lites bleach, which says it has the violet built in toner, and the iroiro 130 silver. I'm gonna do a split dye half black half gray tonight, wish me luck lol. 🤞🏼
@@caitlinmchugh839 I saw that on AKA Aislinn's video, I liked the new silver because it looks a bit darker. Really fucked up that they claim they never changed the formula though and refused to put out a statement on it.
i always wanted my hair to be done by you but i’m in canada 😂 i love you keep doing what you’re doing always makes me smile watching your buddies and you give the most helpful advice ❤️ spreading lots of love!!
I'm in Canada too and I wish Brad was here too. But I'll make you a deal if I ever win the lotto ill buy us two tickets to go to wherever Brad is and we'll have a spa day on me :)
I've been told by a Sally Beauty agent that ION is from Italy perhaps hair from Italy is stronger & thicker so might account for the breakage of the hair. I tried it long time ago, my hair wasn't happy so my hair was too fine for the strength of the developer and left on too long to achieve the pale yellow color.
You have to try Schwarzkopf Blonde Me, it’s great! I bleached my hair for the first time in my life and I had no hair fall out and it’s not as damaged as I thought it would be. It also looks very even, I’m so proud of myself lol
I’ve always had good luck with Prism lites it comes in Violet and Blue it isn’t quite as strong as the other bleach if your needing just a couple levels of lift !
I use the ion charcoal lightener and it’s actually so good. I find it doesn’t do as much damage to my hair as any of these do and it’s 10 levels of lift I think
I use PrismLites Azul with 30-40volume and it took my hair from black black to platinum blonde. But it also has the built in toner with the blue tones so that helps a ton. I did use a silver toner afterwards because I wanted silver hair.
i've never used ion's powder, but you should totally try with the creme lightener and see what happens! I've never had hair fall our from the creme lightened and it works wonders for my naturally SUPER dark hair
I LOVEEE bright white ion. It’s super fast reacting. I get the bottle instead of the powder. However, I only leave it in my hair for 25-30 minutes. I NEVER leave it in for an hour. There’s no need. I also never use over 20 volume. When I go platinum white I wait like 3-4 weeks in between to bleach it again to get that icy white color I want. If you do it too quick you can damage your hair. And as always, wella for toner always❤️
I used bw 2 recently when I did my hair at home and it turned out great. I used quick blue once and it completely fried my hair. I will agree that bw2's smell is insane. Almost gotta go outdoors for that sh*t lol
I wish I watched this 4 hours ago. I went with quick blue first time bleaching all of my hair and not just halfway on the ends. it came out spotty but that is probably my fault 1) I ran out of developer 2) I applied it on box color that hair that I last used 2-2 1/2 years ago 3) I didn't leave it on long enough
I’ve just recently used both Wella and Ion Bright White on my 3b/3c hair (both on separate occasions). Both work pretty well in my opinion. I left both on for about 50 minutes as suggested on the packaging. Even though my hair did not fall off from either of them, my hair is definitely over processed and my curl pattern is very damaged. Wella does work well overall for the full 50-60 minutes, but Ion could definitely be on for less time 😊
I use quick blue but with good reason. I had previously bleached my hair with wella 6-8 months before and then dyed it a pumpkin spice color. When I wanted to go back to platinum blonde using wella and then toning it ended up still being very orange. Quick blue was the only bleach that helped get rid of that horrid orange color so I can get a platinum white blonde
For those people who don’t want to watch the full thing: Bw2 was the worst. Quick blue was 3rd. Ion bright white was 2nd but the hair fell out. 1st was the wella bleach! Hope this helped fellow lazy people! :D
Brad has taught me so much. especially when it comes to choosing developers. the first couple of times i bleached my hair i used 30 vol. and my hair got damaged (by then i didn't know that 20 or even 10 could work too) but later i tried 20 and since then i have been using it. i have noticed that on my hair even multiple used of 20 does not damage as much as a single use of 30 (and even with 30 my dark hair did not lighten in one round so...)
how dark is your natural hair color? i have asian, black hair so i was thinking about buying 30vol but then again... most people use 20vol and it works just fine! its just because i have really black and thick hair that im worried :^/ and im also scared 30vol burns like crazy on the scalp
@@JuhusOnY you can buy both and do test strands first to see which one works better. if you decide to use 30 vol even then use it on the length and use 20 on the scalp. I have very dark brown almost black hair (south asian).
Hey Brad -- Are the XMondo products available on Amazon authentic? I just don't remember you mentioning that your products are available there. If so, free shipping if you have Prime, and super-easy returns at any Kohl's. So if your products are now available on the largest online retailer in the world, congratulations! You have arrived! ❤
Well that explains why my hair stretches and is streaky! Yup I used what here is the most expensive, bright white, but in cream form. It expands cause all those cuticles are so wide open they can’t lie down. (I’m assuming I’m not a pro but have been coloring my hair for 30 years. I wanted to watch this because I want to go silver since I’m half and half and need to bleach my nape badly. Now I’m thinking of just doing a bleach bath and using a vegan silver. Any tip’s besides I need a whole bunch of hair masks!!!??? Ps love your vid, I’m new to you but am 😍
The Age Beautiful cream lightener is my absolute favorite bleach from Sally's. Always leaves my hair intact and damn it gets light! (my hair is naturally black)
I work at Sally’s and Brad has taught me more about the products and how to use them than the company ever did.
As an ex-Sally's employee, I couldn't agree more 💀
I'm not surprised. I have been to Sally Beauty a few times and felt the people working there knew little about bleaching and coloring. What a shame. I hope there are more people like you who are truly interested in helping customers.
@@cbryce9243 because most people at Sally’s have no formal training or knowledge on hair color and bleach so…. Not sure why that surprises people.

sooo after reading all these comments i went to sally’s today and got the ion crème lightener and OH MY GOD!! it is amazing. i’ve never had softer hair post-bleach
Hey what color where you before and what results did you get?
I used to work at Sally's and the Ion creme lightener is by far my favorite bleach. I have tight coily hair and when I use their creme lightener with their developer and mix in their Absolute Perfection Booster Step 1. I'm telling you if you want to keep your curl pattern intact, use this combo. My hair feels so brittle with other bleaches, but with Ion's cream lightener, my hair barely feels different and it doesn't come out dry. I always recommended these products, especially the Absolute Perfection Booster Step 1, if you're trying to bleach and you want to ensure the health of your hair, it really does work and I never bleach my hair without it.
hi! Is it the bright white or creme oil lightener?
@@evaa396 It’s the bright white one
Can you mix the Absolute Perfection Booster step 1 into a bleach bath with shampoo, cream lightener and their 20 vol developer?
Which developer volume do you use and how long do you leave it on
Is that the Ion dupe for Olaplex
ION cream bleach with their sensitive scalp developer is superior to any powder bleach I have ever used. It makes the perfect texture, is easy to apply, and doesn't burn. You don't have the dust issue that you get with powder lighteners, it mixes like a dream, and the smell isn't overpowering.
I agree! I’ve used this one for like 2 years on my undercut & have never had any problems with it.
I like that one too! I’m not a pro at all but it came out so even!! My hair wasn’t too dammaged either after two bleaches
I totally agree! I use the cream bleach with the sensitive scalp ion developer and it's amazing. My natural hair color is med brown and I dye my hair bright pink and bright purple.
I hated the cream bleach. I have level 2-3 hair and bought some for my roots and they lifted so horribly. not only was it uneven in some places but it also lifted to an ugly brassy yellow orange and I had to rebleach.
with my go to, schwarzkopf's blondme, I have always gotten a beautiful lift and the only reason I had gone with the cream bleach was because it was cheaper but that was a mistake.
I use the powder bleach for my curly hair and it treated it well! Never would use it more than 30 minutes tho it works hard!
I usually use ion cream lightener and it fair well (also pretty strong, but not half as damaging as the powder). I personally think cream lightener should be most peoples at home choice as I find it more forgiving. Never the less; I think you should do another round with cream lighteners from Sally’s. Might find something there.
I bleached my hair at home and used this bleach and loved it. My hair was at a level 5 and it lightened so nice and evenly. I love cream bleach.
I also use the Ion ammonia free bleach powder and it isn’t as strong because it’s ammonia free! It also smells great because no ammonia!
I've used the cream lightener and it swells SO much more than the powder. i hate to risk the overlap.
@@jinxxie9593 That's definitely one thing to consider. Almost all of Ion's products do that for some reason. Even their permanent color swells a bit. Kinda strange.
for some reason i always have a problem with their cream lighter expanding to the point of no return, super weird
Brad's no mathematician but we love him anyway. 8oz at $21.19 is WAY more expensive than 16oz (1 lb) at $22.99 or $27.49.
Yep. It’s $42.38 for 16 oz. Yikes.
Yes! That bugged me the whole time!
Yess, I was thinking that too
My fav has always been ion but u def have to keep a close eye on it and figure out your timing really well
I was wondering if anyone else caught that lmao!!!
Never tried the powder but I use ion cream bleach and I freaking love that stuff. Works fast and I've done like maybe 2 bleaches with 20 volume along with 2 bleach baths, 2 different times. Hair still feels great. I literally went from blonde, to hulk green, to blonde, to half orange half pink in a span of a week. I couldn't stand the green lol, and I needed it off of my head. That shit did its job lol
For reeeeal, first time my bleach job has ever come out even and hair still has its integrity. I went from black box to almost platinum in 1 week.
This has sold me that i need Ion. I love their colors but never used the bleach. My natural hair is dark blonde but is so hard to lighten. I'm at a level 8 with healthy hair still after 3 box bleach tries. I need something with that extra kick that I don't gotta leave on for an hour.
@me Ashley I say make sure your hair can take it because ion cream bleach will work really fast! Once you see it to the lift you want, rinse immediately so it won't continue to process.
. Last time I used 40 volume last for an hour and barely did anything, so thanks for the advice!
@@hippodagogo how exactly?? i just want to do two blonde strands ..
Quick blue has been my go to forever and it’s ever given me any problems, I’ve had my hair bleached over 7 times within around 7-8 months and my hair is still extremely healthy. My hair has never fallen out or felt dry, it’s amazing
Did you bleach your whole head/hair with Quick blue?? I want to do it loo
This was fascinating! Thank you to all the Mannie Quinns who sacrificed their hair for science.
I know I’m never going to do stuff to my hair but I still stick around on this channel just in case(and bc I just love this channel)
Same here 🙌🏽
I watch Bleaching Fails just so I know to never try it on my hair. No matter what he's taught us. I don't trust myself.
@@Angelique_92 I'm beginning to have second thoughts on doing mine too. I guess it is something we need to watch closely after the first 30 minutes.
SAME
@FеrnаnfIоо 🅥 same tho the only thing i’ve ever done is cut it
Here’s my comments as someone who regularly uses Quick Blue.
Personally I’ve never had a problem with it being thick or having clumps, but I use more developer.
The patchyness totally wasn’t user error, that’s happened to me every time I’ve used it.
what makes you continue using it if it happens every time?
@@riloxave I haven’t been able to find anything I can afford that works better. And while it’s patchy, it’s not excessive.
i always use Quick Blue and i didn't have an issue with patchiness if i used it on my virgin hair. last time i used it i had long virgin hair down to my butt and pretty much my whole head lifted to the same shade (my roots lifted a little more than the rest but nothing major). my hair is naturally dark brown, almost black. it's only patchy when i have previously dyed hair. so maybe it's just different from person to person?
@@elainasmith1700 I’ve used QB but didn’t like it and felt it was too harsh without consistent good results. After that I used professional blondeme bleach(not from Sally’s) and that worked amazing. It’s better quality and I’d recommend it. It costs more but it’s worth the investment.
Agreed!! I have been using Quick Blue for years with no issues.
Because quick blue expands when left alone, they made their container a lot bigger so it can be used as a mixing bowl
Started bleaching at home during Covid- I’m a BW2 girl all the way! I’ve tried them all, and it does the best and quickest job for me. I definitely open the windows and put a fan in the room where I’m applying- because the terrible dust and smell is REAL. That being said- I’ve got very strong, coarse, level 6/7 hair. For root touch up I like the thick, kind of dry consistency, but definitely rinse and wash twice after bleaching- pre toning. Loved this video! Subscribing now.
Yea how about show a pic of how your hair looks in your profile or a link to it then well see
As someone who uses the Ion bright white creme lightener bleach…i love that stuff, ive never had an issue with it or ever had a handful of hair fall out and i use it quite often. The creme bleach is better than the powder for this product imo.
i SWEAR by this bleach, my favorite to use by far
I think its very comparable to blonde me. Especially with the in brand developer
I agree! I have not tried the powder version. But I have used the creme on myself, husband and friends and its been great experiences so far.
Agree!
I agree!!! I think you just really don’t need 30 vol. I always use 10 or 20 depending on if I’m doing my roots or revamping already bleached strands. Like it don’t need that much power haha
I wish you'd have done prism lites, that's the best bleach at Sally's, available in blue and violet so dark hair starts at blue for a medium lift and violet for high lift, oh and the argan oil cream developer is the best developer they have 😉
Prism lites is where it's at!! Never once has it failed me in nearly a decade
Love me some violet prism lites my hair is dark brown and paired with 20vol it gets it light enough for my manic panic voodoo blue
YESSSSSSSSS!! Finally! Someone who knows what best Sally's products are. Lol. I'm not the only one anymore. 😭🤣
ive used prism lites for years and love it!
And you can get it in the green apple scent! Which is delicious! 🍏🍏🍏
I use to love using wella color charm bleach. The smell was great. My hair always felt healthy. I wanted white hair and I got it. It also lightened my dark roots perfectly whenever they grew in. Good times.
Can you get it at Sally's without a license?
@@shatteredscry why would you need a license? You can buy all Sally's products freely, as far as I know.
@@ChristelVinot Actually, you could be right. I thought I remembered them selling Joico color remover you needed a cosmetology license for in Oregon, but I could be remembering one
@@shatteredscry things might be different in different states. I really don't know much about this stuff so I'm not one to talk lol. I just know I be goin in there and buying anything haha.
Love your videos, Brad. 😘 I would like to add a bit of advice to your viewers who want to lighten at home: DON’T use 30 vol. developers, guys. “Low and slow” is the safest, most reliable way to lighten your hair. The lifting power is in the powder lighteners, the developer just activates them. You can get very bright, beautiful lift with the ION or Wella products, using 10 vol. developer, without the breakage. It will just take time, which shouldn’t be as much of a concern at home. Check your hair after 45 minutes if you’re going for very blonde and reapply fresh product right on top of what’s there to push past those stubborn warm tones. You can do this safely with 10 or even 5 vol. Hope this helps!
I love how I come here for tips on doing my hair but I end up laughing my ass off because you're so entertaining and funny. One of the best UA-camrs for sure.
I use the Ion Bright White crème lightener with their 20 volume developer and I’ve never had my hair fall out like that and I bleach my hair a lot. I’ve never tried the powder version.
I've bleached my hair a handful of times (Using Quick Blue and another one a salon used). In 2020, I bleached my hair using BLONDME by Schwarzkopf and it was the best! It only took 2 sessions + toner to get my Level 2 hair to basically a level 10.
How long did you leave the bleach on for every session?
@@xavierheadbang it doesn’t matter how long they left it on every person‘s hair is different you have to keep checking while it’s on your hair
this one gave me hives 😢
I love BW2. I've never had any problems with it in my numerous bleaching experiences on myself and with friends. Dust is a thing though so prepare yourself once that lid comes off
I use the same thing. I just pour it carefully then immediately close the lid 😂
Thanks! I just bought BW2 and am glad to hear you've had good results, also thanks for noting the dust element lol
Did you use it on already dyed hair or your natural hair color or both?
I bleached my hair myself for the first time last month with the wella & 20volume. I only left it on for about 20 minutes. And successfully got my hair pretty dang blonde without changing my curls or fallout :) just be patient and careful with it
Does it damage hair too much? Also I've black hair. Can u plz guide me?
@@two.desi_mates any and all bleach is gonna damage your hair. Just don’t use too high a volume or leave it on too long. Your hair’s current health is gonna also effect how damaged it gets. Sectioning your hair is important so it’s not overwhelming (personally I do four main sections, and start applying in the back first) Very THIN sections when you apply it is super important so you don’t miss spots and it looks even.
@@keyiahmcclain4229 thanks and what volume developer would u recommend for black hair? Yes, it's gonna damage the hair you're right. I've virgin hair and I'm not gonna apply to roots. Just will apply on Lower hair so that in future if I'll find out that I don't need it anymore I can't simply cut them.😅
@@keyiahmcclain4229 because of the damage I'm not gonna take risk to apply it to full hair. Just some strands at the back 😅 like highlights u can say 😅
Here’s my question. What’s the best lightener and developer for wavy/curly hair?
So I definitely agree that the ion powder lightener causes damage. The ion bright white cream lightener on the other hand is amazing and has taken my hair from black to platinum with no damage. It does have different oils and other ingredients so I'm sure that makes all the difference
The developer makes the difference too, its very conditioning
Wowww.. can you please tell me more? How did you go from black to platinum with the bright white one? Thank you!
@@echo-ue1xy my first step was using color oops since the black was box dye. It took me to a dark reddish color. Then I used foils and 30 volume, lengths and ends first for 45 minutes then hit the roots. I toned with t18 (I know Brad is screaming at that lol) and it was platinum. I maintained with purple shampoo
@@ashleyf1754 me too! I have dark reddish hair and want to be platinum! I’ll use your technique. Thank you! 😊
@@echo-ue1xy sure! I hope it goes well for you! You'll have to let me know how it goes
I use the ion creme bleach and yes it's super powerful lol. I wouldn't dream of leaving it on for an hour my hair gets white in 30 mins.
As a 32 year veteran hairdresser I have tried every bleach on the market. My favorite of all the times that I still used to this day is Schwarzkopf blonde me!
What exact product from the blondeme do you use to lighten / bleach your hair?
I find this so interesting... even though I left self bleaching back in my 20s and my early 20s at that. I love my hairdresser and she is the only one who touches it with bleach now 😂 I learned my lesson... I have absolutely no talent at colouring my own hair!
I’ve only used the Ion Bright White to bleach my hair before and have never had a problem with hair loss/breakage. But I usually use 20/30vol mixed together and not for so long. I’m super scared to over process so I don’t leave it on for as long!! Don’t be afraid to use it, just keep an eye on your hair ☺️
1 hr is an insane amount of time to me!
Blondeme by schwarzkopf seems to be the best bleach since its modern compared to quick blue and has ola plex bonding (equivalent) in it
I mean, it doesn't have Olaplex in it, it has its own type of bond builder, but yes.
My ride or die. When used carefully with the corresponding developer (no higher than 30v) I went from copper to level 10. I did it over a few sessions but still seriously impressed 👏
love this stuff too! I even used only 7 volume with it to touch up my roots and it still lifted so quickly and evenly (i'd say i'm about a level 6 as my natural color). The hair felt pretty good after it as well, which surprised me. it's the first bleach i tried and i don't think i'll try another one :D
That’s the best one I’ve used and I’ve tried quick blue which was harsh and had poor results.
I use Blondme and it left my hair soft and it also smells Good
This is the first time ever that I leave a comment on UA-cam. I really have to write this.
Imagine a world full of brads. It is a world I would have loved to live in. I am completely convinced that the world would have been full of joy and love. Such an incredibly wonderful person. Where can I find someone like you? really need a brad of my own in my life to light up the darker days.
Never stop being who you are, it would make the world a much darker and sadder place and given the way the world is today, that says a lot.
With lots of love all the way from Sweden❤️❤️❤️❤️
I bleached my hair last week and accidentally ended up with bleach burn for the first time ever, my mistake for putting so much in one place, oops. My scalp is fine now, I looked after it while healing and still being careful. I would love to see this kind of video with UK bleach products, if possible 🇬🇧
@Jaclyn Ann VLOGS!💚💚 thank you, it was my own silly mistake and I'm better now 😌
Maniquins take bleach so much differently!!!!!! I'm in cosmetology school and we all use the same bleach. Three maniquins lost 45% of their hair with one bleaching and one of mine was bleached 3 times and has decent hair
Yeah the hair on mannequins is rarely virgin. It's heavily processed and dyed, so once you bleach it it starts breaking easily
When I used to bleach my hair regularly, I always used quick blue with a 20 developer, I've never had problems with clumping but it looks like I used more developer than Brad did. I also never had it in for more than 10 minutes and I would have fairly even lift. I went to a professional stylist and a week later I cut off all my hair due to the damage, breaking and falling off in clumps. The stylist was aware that I regularly bleached my hair and it was just a disaster of an experience. I stick with doing my own hair because of that.
I love the ion bright white bleach. However, I prefer the creme one, and if you do use powder- I got my Hispanic friends natural black thick hair to lift to bright blonde with just 20 volume developer after sitting for 40 minutes with no foils or anything. I think their formula is just much stronger then all of the others. So I am not surprised that all the hair was over processed!
Brad you forgot the blond brilliance with built in toner bleach. It's really awesome as well..keeps unwanted tones under control somewhat. Love the content and thanks for all you do for us❤️❤️
Thank you soo much for this video! I’ve been bleaching my hair for 6 years and only have used quickblue, saloncare prism lights, and wella. I’m a level 6 and I lift to a 10.
I definitely find the best result from quick blue. But I agree on the waste of plastic on the container, it’s ridiculous! Luckily I reuse the bucket after I’m done, planting, storage etc🤷🏼♀️
I recently bleached my hair with ion.... completely agree with the results. I was super cautious with the amount of time I left it on, but it gave me INCREDIBLE lift, much better than wella or loreal. But it was VERY fast and strong, so you gotta be careful of that lol
Funny thing! I have bleached 2 different mannequins fully with the same bleach. They both went bald only in the exact spot were yours also did.
I use the Ion cream lightener and it works FAST. It bleached out old box color like it never existed. I had it in less than 20 minutes and I was ready to rinse. I'd never use it for 45-60 minutes unless you wanted to melt your skull. On virgin roots it bleached them almost white in about 5 minutes.
Brad I’m honestly shocked by the results of the ion bleach, I always use the CREAM version and my hair isn’t that damaged after. I would like to see you compare the cream to powders to see if there’s actually a difference in damage!!
Not only has Brad taught me literally everything that is worth knowing about hair over the years, but he has given me the confidence to experiment with my own locks 💞 Instead of the usual brown or black, or even a red if I was feeling bold, I'm now going for blues, pinks and greens 😍 and they are stunning! I just wish I could find a way to use Brads amazing waves trick with the iron on short hair without my hair feeling like straw afterwards 😭 It's super frustrating!! No matter what products I use from heat protection, to oils and leave in conditioners, I try EVERYTHING to make it feel close to healthy, but it seems like the minute the irons touch it, I become a scarecrow 🤬 I would love for Brad to do a video on how to help bring hair back to life after it has been damaged 💞
Late comment but I wonder if the temperature has something to do with it. Less heat might dry it out less. Just thinking that your straightener is the common denominator if nothing else is working
@@Sponty thank you so much, that makes perfect sense 🤩💕✨
I’ve always used Quick Blue and even though it’s been bleached 4 times, my hair is still healthy.
Edit: I’ve also never had issues with it being clumpy, although it looks like I add more developer typically than Brad did.
Maybe it was expired too I have had hair dye from Sally’s that was old
The hero we KNOW we need 😂
I use Ion bright white in the cream lightner which goes up to 8 levels (my hair is extremely dark brown near black), and use 40 developer on my roots for like 10 to 15 minutes, and it does what it says in that time. So yeah. It is a very powerful lightner so its definitely something to remember when using this brand. I also use their brand developer, too, so i think that helps with it as well.
I use Schwarzkopf's BLONDME to bleach my sister and daughter's hair - it's really good and they've never ended up with pi** yellow hair 👌🏻
Love you tutorials. Love “hi beautiful “ melts my heart!”
The Zotos Age Beautiful cream lightener (also from Sally's) with bond builder is amazing in every way
I second that
I use BW2, I can attest that the scent isn’t great, but I’ve gotten used to it bc I bleach my hair almost every month. My hair is always crunchy after using it, but after washing once or twice that usually goes away. I actually think it’s lightener that sticks to your hair and my hair actually got so dry because I one time I didn’t wash it after bleaching and one section of my hair got so dry and is still drier than the rest of my hair today. And I rinsed my hair 4 times to make sure it was all off. So yeah I can confirm that BW2 stinks bad and leaves hair crunchy, but it is great at lightening tho.
Are you gonna spare your nose and try Wella? It's cheaper per pound too lol
Ive had the same problem with manic panic bleach. I use mostly professional now and i dont have the dryness problem due to the built in conditioner. Ion is actually pretty good and the hair doesn't feel like that after
@@bluebird1694 I’m probably gonna invest in the blondeme bleach even tho it’s more expensive bc everyone is raving about it.
@@ityoboinoley It's worth it. You get a large container and have less damaged hair after using it. These bad bleaches have been on the market too long and need a formula upgrade at least.
I use BW2 also w/30 devp. So far, I achieve that level of brightness I'm looking for. I'm scared to change..lol
I don't know where you buy the Wella bucket bleach powder, but where I live that baby cost $12 for the 16oz bucket, which is enough product for lightening the roots each month or every two months for an entire year. For me, it will last two years of evening out the roots only. As long as I keep up the roots, I don't need to worry about over process or nothing like that. It is amazing product and not expensive at all. I agree,mixing is so easy! I tend to use one scoop for 3oz and that is enough to cover 1.5 inch of roots. I am trying to avoid my naturally silver gunmetal hair but I like to even out my silver locks to look more even color as possible. so I try to avoid going too white so when I use the Kiss tintation silver it doesn't look blue and I don't look like a Maiko shark. Anyways thank you for being sweet on the Wella brand and not trashing it so much. People undermined the inexpensive lower price brands at times. People don;t realize that sometimes the cheaper brands are really good products too.
I would love to see a comparison of the cream lighteners. I first used BW2 powder and completely agree with your assessment 😅 but for the past year and a half I’ve been using Ion’s cream lightener. I leave it on for about 45mins and the results are great, nothing falling out. (For reference I have very dark, very strong 4a/4b hair) I also use their bond protect product line though. I mix the first step in to the bleach and then use the second step for 10mins immediately after rinsing the bleach out. It’s been pretty great.
The only experience I have with Wella so far is the T14 toner. I was just trying to get the orange out with a blue based toner. But OMG do not follow the directions on that box!! ❗️I processed for 28mins (box said 30) and it gave me dark GREY on level 9 blonde and a dark mud brown on what was a level 8 blonde. I had to lemon/conditioner soak to lighten it up again. Luckily that added some warmth back.
So yea, I’m not a “Wella” fan. 😅
I love that Ion liquid bleach.
Thanks for finally exposing these bleach brands 🥰
"I know I'm a dramatic person but I'm NOT being dramatic right now"
Same Brad lol
I've only ever used BW2 and I would always open the windows and hold my breath after I scooped it until the dust settled. But I thought all bleaches did that...... 🤡
You should do a conditioner comp next on the bleached ends!🥰
Im confused 😭 which one is the safest for hair please help
Can we talk for a moment about the excellent comedic timing with Brad “interviewing” the contestants at the beginning?
Who else has their notifications on?! Been waiting for this video for a while 😍
As someone that works at Sally’s you should try the ion crème lightener
I used Prism Lites with violet and it was awesome. This is also a product at Sallys. Thanks Brad for this so I don't do something stupid to my hair, ever!
I use the Zotos Age Beautiful Cream Bleach and it is very gentle, penetrates evenly and well and no dust.
As a BW2 user, I thought all bleaches came with a massive dust cloud and noxious fumes. It got my hair really blonde with 20vol though!
Love this video, love the idea of comparing one kind of popular product from different brands, would love to see a comparison of like level 10 ash toners, or all pinks from different brands etc
as a stylist, LOVED this video
I literally just back from Sally's and this is the first video that popped up lol. I usually use Wella bleach and if I'm doing gray hair I use the T14 with the cooling violet additive and I get the perfect gray color. Today I switched it up though and got the salon care prism lites bleach, which says it has the violet built in toner, and the iroiro 130 silver. I'm gonna do a split dye half black half gray tonight, wish me luck lol. 🤞🏼
Be careful with the iro iro colors, the new version is super blue based
ua-cam.com/video/LpVaS0d3qE0/v-deo.html
@@caitlinmchugh839 I saw that on AKA Aislinn's video, I liked the new silver because it looks a bit darker. Really fucked up that they claim they never changed the formula though and refused to put out a statement on it.
How did it come out using a different strategy for a half and half gray?
I love kaleidocolor from clairol. It never burns me even using 40 on scalp. I have fragile curly white blonde hair :)
I recently used the Ion. I had to leave it in much longer than expected, but it turned out really well and left my hair at a pretty solid 9. Loved it
Idk why I think it smells really nice too lol, it didn't seem to leave any obvious damage on my hair
For sure we need a cream lightener test!
i always wanted my hair to be done by you but i’m in canada 😂 i love you keep doing what you’re doing always makes me smile watching your buddies and you give the most helpful advice ❤️ spreading lots of love!!
I'm in Canada too and I wish Brad was here too. But I'll make you a deal if I ever win the lotto ill buy us two tickets to go to wherever Brad is and we'll have a spa day on me :)
I wish you did this on black box dyed hair!!
Being a greyhead since 2016, my go-to and favorite will remain Schwarzkopf BlondMe; love that stuff so much
I've been told by a Sally Beauty agent that ION is from Italy perhaps hair from Italy is stronger & thicker so might account for the breakage of the hair. I tried it long time ago, my hair wasn't happy so my hair was too fine for the strength of the developer and left on too long to achieve the pale yellow color.
I use Joico Blonde Life on my clients and its my favorite lightener!!
You have to try Schwarzkopf Blonde Me, it’s great! I bleached my hair for the first time in my life and I had no hair fall out and it’s not as damaged as I thought it would be. It also looks very even, I’m so proud of myself lol
Blonde me Is my favorite!!
I hope he does a review on it
Sally doesnt carry that line since its pro. I love it
Did you just use the bleach with blondeme or did you use 20 developer too?
Where can you find it without a license?❤️❤️
You should do cream bleach vs powder! I’ve always believed cream is nicer, easier, and better and I’d love to know if that’s even true
I’ve always had good luck with Prism lites it comes in Violet and Blue it isn’t quite as strong as the other bleach if your needing just a couple levels of lift !
I use the ion charcoal lightener and it’s actually so good. I find it doesn’t do as much damage to my hair as any of these do and it’s 10 levels of lift I think
I use PrismLites Azul with 30-40volume and it took my hair from black black to platinum blonde. But it also has the built in toner with the blue tones so that helps a ton. I did use a silver toner afterwards because I wanted silver hair.
i've never used ion's powder, but you should totally try with the creme lightener and see what happens! I've never had hair fall our from the creme lightened and it works wonders for my naturally SUPER dark hair
I used the bright white and I loved it, lightened my hair very easily and never had any issues until I started over bleaching
I LOVEEE bright white ion. It’s super fast reacting. I get the bottle instead of the powder. However, I only leave it in my hair for 25-30 minutes. I NEVER leave it in for an hour. There’s no need. I also never use over 20 volume. When I go platinum white I wait like 3-4 weeks in between to bleach it again to get that icy white color I want. If you do it too quick you can damage your hair. And as always, wella for toner always❤️
I used bw 2 recently when I did my hair at home and it turned out great. I used quick blue once and it completely fried my hair. I will agree that bw2's smell is insane. Almost gotta go outdoors for that sh*t lol
Im using quick blue for many years and its amazing just add bit more developer and mix it with painting brush 👌
I would love to see a curly hair bleach video 🫣
Xmondo should make their own bleach please🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I had the same thought!
Same. I would try it!
Definitely
Can you do one of these with the different CosmoProf and then Salon Centric bleach?? Love this.
What about shimmer lights bleach
I wish I watched this 4 hours ago. I went with quick blue first time bleaching all of my hair and not just halfway on the ends. it came out spotty but that is probably my fault
1) I ran out of developer
2) I applied it on box color that hair that I last used 2-2 1/2 years ago
3) I didn't leave it on long enough
Part two of this with creme lightener, please!!!
I’ve just recently used both Wella and Ion Bright White on my 3b/3c hair (both on separate occasions). Both work pretty well in my opinion. I left both on for about 50 minutes as suggested on the packaging. Even though my hair did not fall off from either of them, my hair is definitely over processed and my curl pattern is very damaged. Wella does work well overall for the full 50-60 minutes, but Ion could definitely be on for less time 😊
I use quick blue but with good reason. I had previously bleached my hair with wella 6-8 months before and then dyed it a pumpkin spice color. When I wanted to go back to platinum blonde using wella and then toning it ended up still being very orange. Quick blue was the only bleach that helped get rid of that horrid orange color so I can get a platinum white blonde
For those people who don’t want to watch the full thing:
Bw2 was the worst.
Quick blue was 3rd.
Ion bright white was 2nd but the hair fell out.
1st was the wella bleach!
Hope this helped fellow lazy people! :D
So glad it wasn't just me with the Quick Blue.
Quick Blue and Ion cream are the only two I use. Love them both, but the cream is #1!!
watching brad do ms. mannyquin's roots: DON'T DO THE ROOTS
also: she's a mannequin she doesn't have head heat...
also also me: 👁👄👁
Its a mannequin it has no heat in the scalp 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my god lolol thank you cause I was confused
I hope Sally’s is sponsoring you Brad! I love your videos and you make it so much easier for this DIYer ❤️
Brad has taught me so much. especially when it comes to choosing developers. the first couple of times i bleached my hair i used 30 vol. and my hair got damaged (by then i didn't know that 20 or even 10 could work too) but later i tried 20 and since then i have been using it. i have noticed that on my hair even multiple used of 20 does not damage as much as a single use of 30 (and even with 30 my dark hair did not lighten in one round so...)
how dark is your natural hair color? i have asian, black hair so i was thinking about buying 30vol but then again... most people use 20vol and it works just fine! its just because i have really black and thick hair that im worried :^/ and im also scared 30vol burns like crazy on the scalp
@@JuhusOnY you can buy both and do test strands first to see which one works better. if you decide to use 30 vol even then use it on the length and use 20 on the scalp. I have very dark brown almost black hair (south asian).
That Wella lightener always DESTROYS my hair 😣🥴 the Ion crème bleach is the best you can get at Sally’s!
Hey Brad -- Are the XMondo products available on Amazon authentic? I just don't remember you mentioning that your products are available there. If so, free shipping if you have Prime, and super-easy returns at any Kohl's. So if your products are now available on the largest online retailer in the world, congratulations! You have arrived! ❤
Yesssss... I've been waiting for this kind of episode! I'd love to see one on toners too!
Well that explains why my hair stretches and is streaky! Yup I used what here is the most expensive, bright white, but in cream form. It expands cause all those cuticles are so wide open they can’t lie down. (I’m assuming I’m not a pro but have been coloring my hair for 30 years. I wanted to watch this because I want to go silver since I’m half and half and need to bleach my nape badly. Now I’m thinking of just doing a bleach bath and using a vegan silver. Any tip’s besides I need a whole bunch of hair masks!!!??? Ps love your vid, I’m new to you but am 😍
Make sure to do a protein treatment before and after you have bleached. I do mine a week before I bleach and I do 1 right after.
The Age Beautiful cream lightener is my absolute favorite bleach from Sally's. Always leaves my hair intact and damn it gets light! (my hair is naturally black)
