Wow I just realized TODAY that developer is hydrogen peroxide thanks to you!! I've been using sun bum hair lightener to lighten my hair, and the main ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. Although it's 3%, which I have found out is equivalent to 10 volume developer. It's slowwwwwly lightening it, which makes sense to me now!
I actually did this a couple of days ago before seeing this video! I always use black ink hair color can’t remember the brand. Something from Sally’s! I haven’t colored my hair in a few months. But I wanted to lighten my hair without bleach. So I got a hair brain idea and decided to pull out my 40 volume developer… and well I will say it did lighten my hair!!! Even my roots where lightened. Of course my ends are still darker but not a whole lot darker. I left it in about 30 minutes. Just be careful on the scalp it did burn lol. But definitely works. My hair is curly and I didn’t experience any damage. Just shampoo and condition used a mask after just in case!
Thats great!!✨🙌🏿 thank you for sharing your results!😁💕 this was the same thing I did my first time. The roots lightened faster bc of the heat from the scalp so I did a second round but only hit the ends and it evened out. Super minimal damage!
Moisture for sure! After stripping the hair of its pigment it may feel dryer than normal so I definitely would go in with a moisturizing mask and then the next day or two (within the first week) go in with a protein mask (you have to maintain balance or else the hair will go too elastic and if too much protein treatments are used and not enough moisture is within the strands they will become brittle and break!) that’s why it’s so crucial to hydrate your hair when it’s blonde/bleached. I hope this helps❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for this video! I don’t have the coin rn the go get my hair done at the salon and this is exactly what I want! My hair was naturally dark brown but not black so I boxed died it’s black a year ago with olia box dye. For the first time im gonna attempt to light my whole head to a nice medium brown. I was wondering though- are those extensions real hair? And did you use this method on yourself in the thumbnail of this vid? Thanks 😊
Also, should we wait some time in between each lift process? And do we wash out the developer before going in for the next round or can we layer the developer
Hiii🥰 I’m glad I could help (: as for the extensions, yes, they are 100% virgin human hair I believe they are Malaysian or Brazilian curly. As for the process I did (on myself) about 3 processes of 30 minutes to achieve the level I needed before depositing color into my hair. You could shorten it to two processes of 45 minutes if you want to go light within a week!(3-4 days between each process) In order to accelerate how much lift within ONLY ONE process, you could even do this method with a plastic cap in the shower (the heat from your scalp and the steam will lighten the hair quicker!) Or you can use a blow dryer on medium heat will do the same but you want to AVOID letting it dry. That’s when the processing stops. You can try it on a test strand near the back (or the nape) just to see what I mean! My hair in the thumbnails for previous videos I did on this topic was a result of doing this process more than 2 times and they were all about 4 days to a week apart! Also I didn’t mention the heat from your scalp on the videos as I figured it could be basic knowledge but I forget not everyone knows the fundamentals of hair, so I have to mention the application! I would start in the darkest, most tough areas to lighten on your head (since everyone’s hair is different) and work from there. You can move slowly to insure every strand is SATURATED well since it is very forgiving and won’t lighten too fast! You may already know this but do your roots and hairline LAST! I really hope I could answer all your questions 💕 I understand doing your hair at home especially during these times so I wish you the best!🙏🏿❤️

Girl thank you!!!! My hair & bleach don't get along. I'm about a level 7 & want to get to about a 4. I think this may be what I need to do! Imma do a test strand tomorrow!!! 👍👍😘😘😘
@@Maria.Aurelia got the products I needed. Did a color remover 1st. Giving my hair a bit to recoup from that (sally ion one dried my hair out). I'm thinking day after thanksgiving I'm going to do it! Ill keep u posted 😘
@@joy8801 ehh it did get a little lighter. I ended up doing a bleach bath that was way more effective. I only left it on like 10 minutes maybe. I avoided the roots just in case lol But I did get the color I wanted so I hope this helps! ❤️
Just don't leave it on too long... I did have to do a trim after bc my ends were looking rough... But I have very fine strands that don't tolerate bleach well.. so just a heads up in case any of this applies to you
i have a question, can i mix the 30 developer with blonde hair dye to get a light brown? i have really dark brown hair rn. or should i add lightener too
@@virginiagomez7442 hi! So you *can* mix 1 part developer and 1 part dye but it cannot be a temporary color. It has to be a permanent, Demi or semi permanent dye for the chemicals to react properly. But adding a higher vol developer calls for higher lift resulting in a lighter tone/color! For max lift go with a 40vol
You can definitely use foils if you'd like to incubate it and make the process quicker/more effectively when applying heat. I personally used a plastic shower cap just to keep the developer wet bc if it dries out it's not processing. Adding heat or trapping the heat from your body with foils will help speed things up! That's actually a good question (;
I need to lighten hair extensions just a bit. They're currently "natural" which is like a black/brown to dark brown. I just need it a shade or two lighter. Can developer alone do this?
Ahhh we have the same name and spelling! Love it! Thanks for the video cause I have 40 developer but also want an chocolaty color so I’m gonna skip the dye!
i found your video so helpful! I almost regret buying the 30 Developer, thinking it won't be enough but you def showed that its achievable! I'd have one more question tho please, ain't it possible to leave the developer on the hair for a longer time to have the same result as you in just one process? It's the lazy in me asking 😆
Everytime I had an idea while watching this video you said it right after I thought it lmao . Love this content. I did 2 color removers a month apart and after watching this video I’m doing peroxide… then I’ll book with a salon. I’m not going into a salon looking like a fool once bleach is on.. knowing damn well I could’ve done this because platinum means patience and that’s my goal lol … beasties? 😂
Hey girl! Thank you so much for your videos!! I do have a quick question. How many times in one day would you suggest you can lighten with developer in one sitting? Should you wait a day or two before processing again to get a little lighter? Thank you again 😊
Hiii🥰 I personally waited at least a few days before my next process! I’d suggest to wait at least 24 hours but I understand if it’s not practical. In between I gave my hair a break and did a treatment for my curls (:

Hi . I am so happy I found your video I just colored some virgin extensions using a box dye and it didn't get light at all. So I would definitely use color remover and try the 40V.
I didn’t know this was possible but I’m trying it now and I see it’s already brown where it was black before. Going to do it again and see if I can get it to light brown
I'm glad to see you're getting good results!🥰 *It works even better with heat* (wrap the hair in plastic to keep in the moisture & sit in the sun or use the blowdryer on low heat while processing)
I tried this twice in a row with Wella 30 vol and nothing much happened 😢. I had virgin hair and the day before I did this I dyed my hair chocolate brown but I could barely see the color. The next day I used 30 vol on my hair twice and it only brought out the color on the upper half of my hair. The lower half is still black. Keep in mind my hair sits right above my shoulders. I applied it to dry hair and ensured my hair was thoroughly saturated. I left it on for 40 minutes each time. The second time I applied it, I even heated up the bottom half a bit with a blow dryer (and a diffuser) and put foil on my hair. Yet after all that, the bottom half is still black. What do you think went wrong? Why doesn't my hair lighten?
I’m sorry if I wasn’t too clear in the video but for virgin hair I let the developer process for 30mins. If you have low porosity hair then 45 minutes may be better but I also did 3 rounds of processing just to show how much lift you can really get with just a developer (: I hope this helped!❤️
I know it always says u gotta go lighter than what u want once ur hair has been dyed darker to go back light. I shouldve done that. Cause now my more virgin top hair is lighter brown & the mids & ends are atill very much "black" aka dark brown... :( When i washed out my colour oops corrector my hair was lighter\ reddish orange, than after i tried to go light brown. Lol 😂
Oh noo😭😭 hot roots gets the best of us mann! dark pigments are so stubborn😭😩 colour oops will lift the hair color a bit in attempt to get deeper into the shaft and remove ALL the added pigment! I learned this when I dyed my hair black continuously over the course of a few years and when I tried lifting it, the black really stained the mid shaft of my hair red! No matter how much lighter I went (or how much blue/green pigment I added to cancel out the red) it STILL was there😩 it was very much giving carrot top lol so just ended up growing it out and chopping it off lol I’ve learned my lesson with black hair dye bc you know what they sayyy😭😂😂
My natural hair colour is dark brown only started dying it with box dyes before and during lockdown since which was black so if I use 40 volume developer for 30 mins will that take me back to my natural dark brown?
@@1G0R03well she didn't make this video yesterday as you can see! Maybe she doesn't use her account or check it as often and she's clearly replied to many of the earlier messages so I wouldn't call her rude there's plenty of info in the comments 😊
hiii i hope you get to answer but i have a question, i have dark dark brown hair (looks black but is actually dark brown) my hair is virgin, do i just get a 30 developer and apply it for 30 mins to my hair? ONLY the developer or do i have to mix it with something else or just developer???
That’s right! (: 30v should give you a few levels of lift on its own. I’d do a test strand to see how it would turn out before committing to the entire head since I’m also unaware of your hair porosity.🤍
Yes, although this method left me with the least amount of damage, it did make my curls more frizzy. That is due to stripping the cuticle. It IS less damaging than mixing with powder bleach but you still have to maintain the integrity of your hair with deep conditioners and treatments❤️ & you’re very welcome☺️ Thank youu for watching (:
Hi!👋🏽❤️ Depending on what volume developer you have already, you may want to dilute it, (conditioner is 0v AKA A neutral) that is where conditioner comes into play so that it won’t be too much on your strands. This step won’t be necessary unless you have 40v - 50v developer and wish for more subtle results

Hi 🤍 I have a question for you! My hair has been box dyed black for years and I’m trying to go a honey blonde without straight up bleach. I’ve stripped my hair twice with color oops in the last week. Now I’m going to be attempting to use L’Oréal color hilights in ash blonde to see how much it lightens my hair and go from there. Do you think this would work? I don’t want to use bleach on my hair but I’m aware the L’Oréal has some sort of bleach I just don’t want to use something less damaging to get lighter. And I could do it in sessions. I really hope you can respond to this even just your opinion would help out. Thank u 🙏

All depends on your hair length and thickness! I can get by with one box of color remover (or one package for clarifying washes) but my hair is medium length and normal thickness. You may need to double up on everything if you have thicker or long hair (and probably 3x as much of each product if your hair is both!) I hope I could help out 🥰
@@ItsMikaela I'm really curious about trying this! I have virgin black hair, do you think 20 volume would work? I'm not looking for anything drastic, and want to minimize damage 😊
Hi dear ,i have dark ash blond hair and i wana lighten it,so i should get the 30 vol deveoper ?and how long should i leave it in my hair??do i have to mix anything else ?in the deveoper
Hello love❤️ I'd try 30v on a test strand for 30 minutes (minimum) just to get a feel on how your hair will take since I'm not familiar of your hair color history or porosity. You wont need to mix anything if you just buy 30 volume developer. You may have to process up to 3 times depending on what results you desire and how porous your hair is! Since you already have a lighter base the developer should lift your hair quite nicely! I really hope this helps💕
Please help wet or dry hair I've got light ash blonde. I used a clarity shampoo still hasn't lightened as much as I need it to then I try lemon wasn't a box hair color please respond help me step by step..
heyy I have a few questions? I have black hair naturally I’ve dyed it black one time and I have also dyed some parts of my hair brown. Should I use hair color removal to remove all those color dyed I have used on my hair then I could use the 30 volume developer to lighten it light brown?
Most likely, if you’ve added color in the past! Same happened to me when I had left over pigment trapped in my strands so I went with heavier lift when removing! (Aka clarifying shampoos + color removers)
i dyed my virgin hair permanent black, my roots have grown out and i’m wanting to lighten the black now to match my roots, will this work on my hair if it’s virgin under the black and hasn’t been bleached before?
That’s a good question! I’d definitely do a test strand so that you can wage your results, but it will be really hard to lift that permanent color without a lightener aka bleach powder or creme. I’d say definitely try a color remover first to get the maximum results if you’re doing this method(w/o bleach) and I’m sure you know this already lol but PLEASE omit your roots the first time around!🤍 I hope this helped (:
10V won’t do anything really. I’d recommend 30Vol for virgin hair! (Do a test strand) depends on what color you’re going for though. Personally I always like to start with a lighter base so that whatever color I choose will be vibrant enough/the correct undertone
No problem🤍🤍 I hope I could help out! I would never recommend box dyes knowing what I know now, but I’ve definitely done it before!! I think it’s okay sometimes if you’re hair is virgin BUT be careful w box dyes in the future! Box dyes are like mystery boxes to me lol it’s hard to know what developer or color they are even selling to create what you see on the box. As someone that’s dyed and colored hair multiple times I’m super skeptical! I would still lighten your hair before attempting a blonde color so that it’s light enough for the toner to take(depending on if you want a warm or cool toned blonde) Starting with a lighter base than the desired color will almost always give you way better results. I think if you just did the box dye alone it will turn out to be a medium brown/dark blonde. Nothing crazy but regardless I wish you the best luck🙏🏽🥰
@@ItsMikaela Hi again. I got scared ti go with box dye after reading more about it. Can i lighet my hair from virgin hair 5-6 to 7-8 with just level 20 or 30 developer? Thank you🤗❤
20 lifts 1-2 levels (very slight difference) 30 lifts 3 levels and 40 lifts up to 8 (when combined with powder or cream lightener) I’d go for 30 vol if you want a noticeable difference with the least amount of damage!

I really want my hair to be a dark Brown color ( i have Black ish color) so I Will try using devoloper

Moisture for sure!

hiii i hope you get to answer but i have a question, i have dark dark brown hair (looks black but is actually dark brown) my hair is virgin, do i just get a 30 developer and apply it for 30 mins to my hair? ONLY the developer or do i have to mix it with something else or just developer???
That’s right! (:
30v should give you a few levels of lift on its own. I’d do a test strand to see how it would turn out before committing to the entire head since I’m also unaware of your hair porosity.🤍
Will my curls be ok if I use this method? Thank you for the video by the way ❤
Yes, although this method left me with the least amount of damage, it did make my curls more frizzy. That is due to stripping the cuticle. It IS less damaging than mixing with powder bleach but you still have to maintain the integrity of your hair with deep conditioners and treatments❤️ & you’re very welcome☺️ Thank youu for watching (:
@@ItsMikaela thank you for replying dear.
@@ItsMikaela what deep conditioners and treatments do you recommend?
I did this with 40 developer a couple of days ago before seeing this! I have curly hair too! I love the results. I had no damage that I could tell of!
Hi! So for the first step, do you mix conditioner with the developer?
Hi!👋🏽❤️
Depending on what volume developer you have already, you may want to dilute it, (conditioner is 0v AKA A neutral) that is where conditioner comes into play so that it won’t be too much on your strands. This step won’t be necessary unless you have 40v - 50v developer and wish for more subtle results

The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Hi 🤍 I have a question for you! My hair has been box dyed black for years and I’m trying to go a honey blonde without straight up bleach. I’ve stripped my hair twice with color oops in the last week. Now I’m going to be attempting to use L’Oréal color hilights in ash blonde to see how much it lightens my hair and go from there. Do you think this would work? I don’t want to use bleach on my hair but I’m aware the L’Oréal has some sort of bleach I just don’t want to use something less damaging to get lighter. And I could do it in sessions. I really hope you can respond to this even just your opinion would help out. Thank u 🙏

No because color won’t lift color?
How do I know how much developer and color remover to use?
All depends on your hair length and thickness! I can get by with one box of color remover (or one package for clarifying washes) but my hair is medium length and normal thickness. You may need to double up on everything if you have thicker or long hair (and probably 3x as much of each product if your hair is both!) I hope I could help out 🥰
So confusing. All you use is developer??
Yes, that’s right! I’m so sorry for the confusion ):
@@ItsMikaela I'm really curious about trying this! I have virgin black hair, do you think 20 volume would work? I'm not looking for anything drastic, and want to minimize damage 😊
@@starinajar13 yeah
Hi dear ,i have dark ash blond hair and i wana lighten it,so i should get the 30 vol deveoper ?and how long should i leave it in my hair??do i have to mix anything else ?in the deveoper
Do i have to do the process 2 3 times?to lighten my hair color
Hello love❤️
I'd try 30v on a test strand for 30 minutes (minimum) just to get a feel on how your hair will take since I'm not familiar of your hair color history or porosity.
You wont need to mix anything if you just buy 30 volume developer.
You may have to process up to 3 times depending on what results you desire and how porous your hair is!
Since you already have a lighter base the developer should lift your hair quite nicely! I really hope this helps💕
@@ItsMikaela thanks beautifull :)
@@ItsMikaela Hey girl I love that you answer questions wet or dry hair with 30 volume how long will I be able to see it lighting?
Please help wet or dry hair I've got light ash blonde. I used a clarity shampoo still hasn't lightened as much as I need it to then I try lemon wasn't a box hair color please respond help me step by step..
heyy I have a few questions? I have black hair naturally I’ve dyed it black one time and I have also dyed some parts of my hair brown. Should I use hair color removal to remove all those color dyed I have used on my hair then I could use the 30 volume developer to lighten it light brown?
Yes (: that’s would I would do! ( I’d recommend doing a test strand so that you’re more confident about the results)
would i put the developer on my roots last like you would use bleach?
Yes! I’d do at least ten minutes before touching the roots
@@ItsMikaela oh alright thank you
I want to go lighter I'm currently dark brown
Did you try the 30 volume developer?
I’d love to know your experience if so🫶🏽
@@ItsMikaela I’ll update you when I get it done
do you just wash it out with water?
I shampooed as normal and then conditioned but I’d suggest doing a hair mask as the hair may feel a bit drier (moisturizing masks not protein filled)
Can use the hair color remover and dye my hair the same day?
I dyed my hair and absolutely nothing happened so I still need to use colour remover? Xx
Most likely, if you’ve added color in the past! Same happened to me when I had left over pigment trapped in my strands so I went with heavier lift when removing! (Aka clarifying shampoos + color removers)
I've box dyed my hair multiple time, now it kinda black, can i lift to lighter colour without bleach?
You can! But you may need to go in with a color remover first to make sure that the box dye is not still on your strands
Colour remover may not work as it will only lift up one colour or probs none. Your roots may turn orange but that’s about it
i dyed my virgin hair permanent black, my roots have grown out and i’m wanting to lighten the black now to match my roots, will this work on my hair if it’s virgin under the black and hasn’t been bleached before?
That’s a good question! I’d definitely do a test strand so that you can wage your results, but it will be really hard to lift that permanent color without a lightener aka bleach powder or creme. I’d say definitely try a color remover first to get the maximum results if you’re doing this method(w/o bleach) and I’m sure you know this already lol but PLEASE omit your roots the first time around!🤍 I hope this helped (:
what developer did you use??
Salon Care found at Sally’s ☺️
Mikaea please answer. My hair is virgin, do i need developer 10?😢 or can i dye directly with hair dye?
10V won’t do anything really. I’d recommend 30Vol for virgin hair! (Do a test strand) depends on what color you’re going for though. Personally I always like to start with a lighter base so that whatever color I choose will be vibrant enough/the correct undertone
@@ItsMikaela omg thank you soooo much for the reply🥰 i bought box dye, do you think its a good idea? I am scared now, its shwarzcopf blone L101
No problem🤍🤍 I hope I could help out!
I would never recommend box dyes knowing what I know now, but I’ve definitely done it before!! I think it’s okay sometimes if you’re hair is virgin BUT be careful w box dyes in the future! Box dyes are like mystery boxes to me lol it’s hard to know what developer or color they are even selling to create what you see on the box. As someone that’s dyed and colored hair multiple times I’m super skeptical!
I would still lighten your hair before attempting a blonde color so that it’s light enough for the toner to take(depending on if you want a warm or cool toned blonde) Starting with a lighter base than the desired color will almost always give you way better results. I think if you just did the box dye alone it will turn out to be a medium brown/dark blonde. Nothing crazy but regardless I wish you the best luck🙏🏽🥰
@@ItsMikaela aw thanks you are the best😍❤️💙💖
@@ItsMikaela Hi again. I got scared ti go with box dye after reading more about it. Can i lighet my hair from virgin hair 5-6 to 7-8 with just level 20 or 30 developer? Thank you🤗❤
Can I use only developer on black hair that has been dyed black?
You CAN but you're minimizing the results! It turns out a lot better when you remove the added pigments first! (;
What color remover brand do you use?
Color Oops! Beware of the spoiled egg smell⚠️
@@ItsMikaela 🥚 girl you wasn’t kidding!!! I almost threw up 🤢🤮😂
@@crystalbauer5310 OH NOO😭😭😅 I’m grateful for my strong stomach but OMG it’s UNBEARABLE!!!
would 20 developer work
20 lifts 1-2 levels (very slight difference) 30 lifts 3 levels and 40 lifts up to 8 (when combined with powder or cream lightener)
I’d go for 30 vol if you want a noticeable difference with the least amount of damage!
@@ItsMikaelaso basically 30 developer with some conditioner and that’s it ?
@@Sierradoesitall no conditioner just the developer alone (:
