Which Bleach is BEST? Testing and Reviewing Wella Blondor for Platinum Blonde Root Touch Ups

- Hello Everyone! Thanks to the amazing Zach Mesquite, I have finally taken the plunge into WELLA! This is a NON SPONSORED blind review on this lightener. As you all know I'm constantly on a journey to self improvement in all things blonding, and despite being a blonde specialist of 8 years, there's always ways to get better results.
while i love schwarzkopf, there's always been the problem of swelling and because wella is said to have minimal to no swelling at all, i'm ready to RISK IT ALL AND TRY IT ON MY CLIENT WITH NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AT ALL!!!!
let me know your favorite lighteners in the comments and also, would you try wella after this video?
please go send Zach some love on Tik Tok - zachmesquite and on instagram as well @thezachmesquite
ive been learning from him for years and he has never lead me astray. the true king of blondes!! - Jak na to + styl
Absolutely beautiful -- obsessed with that lavender fade into blonde! I also love all the pets we get to see in your studio. 🐱🐶❤
Thank you so much!! I loved the ethereal unicorn look it gave her! She loves purple hair but she also works a professional job and having something slightly lavender that only really lasts a handful of washes is perfect for her! We’ve had SO MANY ANIMALS!! (Dogs, a cat, a bird and a hedgehog!)
@@BobbyHairStudio the color is absolutely beautiful. You need someone to bring a bunny to the salon next
As someone with level 1 Asian hair, having a lightener that can lift 9 levels is important to me so that I only need one round of application. And unfortunately, I haven’t been able to achieve that with wella blondor. I’ve been using Guy Tang’s big 9 and I quite like it.
Oh that’s good to know!!! Does guy tangs bleach swell??
I've definitely found that to be the case with the original Blondor but since they brought out BlondorPlex and are now branding it as a 9 level lightener I can definitely see a considerable difference with lift in comparison to the original blondor which although I love, definitely isn't as strong of a lifter
@@BobbyHairStudio I haven’t experienced any significant swelling
Is another comparison video in the works? 😉
@@Hairfan hahaha I think one will be soon!
Was looking up red hair formulas and just found you. Really enjoying your videos! Thank you
I love how you apply this application looks wonderful I like the lilac ombre look
Switched to Wella after snapping a lot off because of swelling. It's so easy to use and the hair feels great!
Ooooo am going to ask my stylist as I normally have normal wella bleach . Thank you so much I absolutely love watching your videos ❤❤❤
So fascinating seeing how you apply lightener on every section perfectly your very talented👏👏.
Thank you so much!
I’m a Wella colourist through and through. Loved hearing your opinions on Blondoor ❤
Thank you! Which wella lightener do you prefer for a scalp bleach? Also I’m wondering about their toners!
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful and a lot of educational content.
Omg...that cat rebel sitting on momma lap even while her hair doing so cute looking so contemp
I switched from Wella to Schwarzkopf 2 sessions ago. I LOVE the lift from Schwarzkopf, but Wella stays under control better - less swelling and that's helpful. I have experienced breakage from Schwarzkopf from overlapping so I might switch back to Wella. Ug. Decisions! Anyway, GREAT video!
Wow I just happened upon your page! This is awesome. I find with blondorplex I start the application in the back where the hair is darker and denser then work through to the front where the texture changes and becomes finer.
I just got done using Wella Blondor and I love it. It's so mild. No scalp issues. Of course I didn't wash my hair for days and there was an oil protecting my scalp.😁
So I used to use the Wella blondorplex because of Zach’s recommendation as well and it worked okay, I’m a level 4 base and I do bleach retouches on myself, I never was totally happy with the end result with it, I had lots of bands and yellow spots and was resorting to using heat and leaving it in extra long just to reach the inside of a banana peel color and it was getting ridiculous how long it would take. One thing to make note of as well is that Zach works for wella and gets paid to use and promote their products, I decided to try the blondme on whim out of being frustrated with blondorplex and boy did it make an immediate difference, I got the a level 10 quickly and easily and it wasn’t nearly as stressful as it was with blondorplex, I prefer the blondme and yea the swelling is annoying but man it’s so much quicker and less stressful, maybe cuz my base is darker is why I was struggling with the blondorplex, it only lifts 7 levels and blondme lifts 9, so yea I prefer the blondme.
I'm the same! I was trained using wella but always preferred schwarzkopf products in general! Blondor didn't give me the lift I was looking for and i have had far better results even with schwarzkopf igora bleach line!
I completely agree!! I tried it a few times but honestly I never have great results like a lot of people do :(
Same here 😊
I started doing my hair myself in 2020 and was told by a hair dresser friend to try Schwarzkopf blonde me! It did NOT disappoint. I'm a 6-7 naturally and was leaving bleach on my hair way too long to get the desired lift.
Blondeme immediately changed my routine. It lifts quickly, and I can get to a 10 in about 35 minutes. Much less time than my "other" bleach! I have been experimenting with their toners. They are so beautiful.
@@patticakesintexaswhat volume developer do you use? I use 40 ion with wella color charm bleach and leave it on for an hour and it still doesn’t get it completely as white as id like . I also use the t18 toner but when i do my roots again i have to go over the banding from last time to get it to lift to the right level . Its annoying but it always comes out pretty nice. No damage or anything like that and ive been doing that for ten years. So im looking around to see if maybe theres a better bleach or am i doing something wrong? Idk 🤷♀️ if you have any advice would be helpful thanks 🙏
I’m a wella girl 😂 was trained with wella in Australia. Moved back home to Thailand where everyone is a level 2-3 coarse hair and I don’t have any problem lifting them as long as they’re applied in thin sections. I don’t do a lot of bleach out but roots touch up is no problem too.
I see a lot of positive reviews about BlondeMe and I bought it. The lift is good as expected but I honestly can’t work with its soupy texture. To make it creamy the way I like I’d need a lot more bleach compare to Blondor.
You are the best educated and educator ❤😊be proud i am still learning from you dear 😊
Thank you for saying that! I really appreciate it! I’m always eager to learn more and to find the best of the best!
We learn till our last breath
Always thirsty for more knowledge 😌
can you demo more wella products as well? We use wella at cosmetology school and it would be so fun to see you incorporating them into your color/bleaching services ❤ Been loving your educational video thank you sm for sharing your knowledge 💗
Agree show us more Wella also 😊
In the salon I work at (assistant) they love BlondMe, and rightfully so as our clients are mostly latinamericans and it works nice and fast, but I really want to try other brands cause I see how much and how fast it can swell, sometimes the foils are falling from how watery it gets
Thanks I bc I was torn between which to get for integrity of my hair… u cleared up the wella vs blondeme dispute for me lol. Thanks so much inside t want to have to spend as much for the SBM it’s very expensive. Going to try the blondor myself .. wish me luck🤞🏻😉🥰
Blondor is my FAVE! This is beautiful
Thank you! I’m really loving it
Oh! Will be following with interest I love BlondMe with the cool additive but the swelling really can be a problem, specially with short hair as it is already difficult to apply only on the regrowth so if there is something more efficient out there I’d defo want to try!
I totally agree!
Just wanted to say that I'm a Pravana guy!! Love the lift I can get, no banding - comes in powder form and cream !!
I like how her hair turned out. I use wella for my own hair. I really like it.
I use so many brands before. I find Morrocan Oil bleach (its really new) is amazing. Now trying Aloxxi ( italian brand) and loving it too
May i ask what ratio did you mix with the blondme toners and peroxide developers? The colour is stunning!
Love Zach!!!
I’ve used Wella since Beauty School and never quite like anything else as much! I rarely have to tone!
It's stunning im currently a light brown and miss blonde im just scared for the breakage xx
Hello
I am naturally dark Brn, curly. but I always keep my hair blonde, would you please, make some videos with short curly hair?
Thank you for your tips.
You are awesome!!!
Looove Blondor!! Lifts really well through cheap, Amazon quality hair to at least a level 9, so that’s saying something! I find that it neutralizes orange undertones a bit better than Blondme (w/o cool additive), but Blondme is easier to saturate with.
Have you seen the campaign ads for Blondme’s rebrand? They’ve launched an anti-swell precision lightener formulated for bleach roots! It’s already available in the UK, but I think North America is getting it this fall.
Oh I hope so! They need it
Love this! How long does the application take?
I love it! I have been watching so much blondme tutorials/vids. And i just think it is too strong for my hair and not necessary with so much lift. I have a semipermanent bluish sea weed ocean Witchi color. I want to go purple with some pink and black stripes. But platina blond. Yeah i al going to experiment with semi permanent. So my question is do i need to tone it after? Or is bleach bath, bleach and purple mask/shampoo enough? I have semi permanent on virgin dark blond hair, so it washes out very easily espeacially my roots. Never bleached these lengths i have now. :D
I use ion creme oil lightener and 20 volume developer....it's not bleach but it lifts 8 levels. Smells like Nice and Easy mixed with flowers when applying....no smell after rinsing. My roots are very dark and hair is naturally curly.....that product lifts me to a blonde that's level 10 even though the label says 8. Consistently. It kinda stops working on it's on after like an hour so if you forget the timer ..no worries. I use a vegan pink color that uses no developer so I depend on the lightener for the heavy lifting (pun intended) and that's worked for years with no breakage.
Schwarzkopf has recently launched a Blondme bleaching powder which is specifically for roots. Also, could clay powder be used on the roots, since it doesn't swell?
Wella is my favorite 😍 I can foil and never get bleeders 🤷🏻♀️
I found the opposite! I always got more breakage with Blondor versus Blondme. I want to try Kenra and Goldwell next.
That color! I'm 80% silver and that's yummy.
I think the bleach is amazing. The toners on the other hand, not as much. I used the strawberry toner and it was really patchy. It did fade out into a gorgeous peachyroseblonde.
Which respect more the hair even if it doesnt get white , blonde me wella or blond studio 8😊
I do not like that. Her roots are very purple and her ends are not. Even the mid shaft is a different purple. I honestly like the mid-shaft color. Best. Too bad you couldn't get even color through the entire thing. I appreciate you testing the product out, and very much appreciate the client allowing you to do so. Most people would not experiment with their hair. She's a brave lady!! I look forward to future videos with showing us products and how they work.
With 20 peroxide and how long? Before, it didn't irritate me as much as 2 bleaches ago, which caused me to have swelling and a lot of itching to the point of not being able to tolerate it. I have been blonde for a long time and now I don't understand why it irritates me so much, I would like to try this Wella product
Omg the cat in the bag 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great job great info
I used Wella Toner first time ever and my blonde ….. it came out amazing 🎉
Amazing!
Wella 8-81 and 10-0 (equal parts) are just a no fail white blonde.
you are the best hair educator on youtube !!
I really appreciate that so much! Thank you! I hope one day I can be a household name in education for the next generations of hairdressers!!
@@BobbyHairStudio I love your energy so much, honestly.
I agree! I've been telling my friends about you ever since I found your channel!
@@Hairfan thank you so much!!!
I’ve used both and Wella gave me better results between those two byt Guy Tang’s lightener is my fave: both, the Big 9 and Magnum 8.
I have been using Wella for almost 20 years. When I went to VCC for my hairdressing course in 2005, the school used Schwarzkopf, goldwell. Basically when it comes to color I have used goldwell, joico, Schwarzkopf, Redken, L'Oreal and now Matrix. If I have a choice for color line I would use L'Oreal and bleach Wella 🤷. I have only been using matrix system less than a month. 🤷🤔😊
thankyou for mentioning the toner 😍
My pleasure 😊
Did you use the Wella 0lex no 2, I want to try 8t but I just found the Lightener, what could I use instead. I need your help , thanks in advance.
Haha! Jk I found it!!!! LOVE your videos btw! As a hairstylist that’s been out the game for two years, these are all amazing refreshers! Really really appreciate you
My BlondeMe barely swells when I add Olaplex and I do a 1:2. I have the Wella at home too, but I'm somehow scared that it's gonna be too harsh because I've found other Wella products really damaging on the hair in the past. But these results are beautiful of course!
I have black hair and i want to dye it using this bleach so i wnat to colour my hair red or pink shades so can i use this bleach
I usually use Schwartzkopf bleach too - I have been waiting for my developer to use and it is taking forever - can I use any Developer - for instance wella developer??
Can use a 10 vol developer instead of a 7 vol toning with blonde me? Thank you
Which colour number do you use for platinum ash and which brand?
interested to see how this goes! i use blondme at home and i started using cotton to deal with the swelling as i'm so afraid of overlap. it'd be nice to find another lightener i can trust and skip that step.
also- is there a reason you choose ice irise over the ice? (for some reason ice is far more readily available on amazon etc here)
Interesting.
I was going to buy blondeme but now I consider wella, because I have a lot of grown out roots and different colors to tackle. 😅
JOICO BLONDE LIFE.....TRUST ME! Fave bleach
Blondor is the very best as far as I'm concerned! My hairdresser has used it on me for many years to frost my hair. It doesn't get brassy, it's gentle on my hair, and never had a single issue. He used a cap which works extremely well for my really short hair to frost it. It grows out perfectly and doesn't leave noticeable bad spots at all. Since it's a multi blonde you don't notice anything but beautiful muti color which is very even all over, not spotting. My hairdresser never used any sort of toner and as I said it's perfect. My hairdresser and really good friend sadly suddenly passed away, so I've had to find a new one. My new one had never heard of Blondor until I bought it so she could use it on my hair. She was totally shocked that it didn't turn brassy, but I am a natural blonde by birth, so that might help and have never used any color other than the Blondor on my hair. She's so glad I introduced it to her and that I wanted her to use a cap. She said she'd not use one much in the last few years, but that it worked great on my short hair and she plans on suggesting it more for some of her other clients. I have never had anything other than a 20 volume developer used with the Blondor on my hair, thus the reason it's probably stay healthy.
I used both , wells on my go as you are under control, with Schwarzkopf you need to be an expert & fast ( it’s swell fast )
Does the wella blondor blue one swell and expand? Helpppp
Wella is better?
I use Blondor for year i love the best
I have used both Blondeme by Schwarzkopf and Blondor by Wella and pretty much agree with the other comments Wella does NOT lift as well nor does it reach the level that Schwarzkopf does. Got to leave on longer and then it dries and stops lifting and their developer tends to oxidize faster. So Back to Schwarzkopf and all it's great products.
Wella Blondor is the only lightener I use in the salon with 10 and 20 vol only🤍 no swelling, beautiful lift even on my coarse, dark hair girlies. I never use heat to process and never have had a bleeder bc it stays put!
Thanks for sharing!!
With 20 peroxide and how long?
@@CatherineMartinez1 until it’s reached level 9 or 10. Reapply lightener in foils if needed! Only for hair that is healthy enough to handle it.
I use 20vol on the back of the head and 30vol on the front. The 20 lifts great but I’m also a little slow. I’m thinking about maybe bumping it down to 10 or 15vol and see how that works out for me. But yeah I’ve used blondor forever and I love it!
I use blondme for about a year and so, but i swells too much, especially in hot days, and i don t even cover it or use foils, because it s already bleeding bad. Doesen t matter if i use a 1:1 or a 1,5 or a 1:2 ratio. I did a lot of breakage because of that and next time i said i will buy blondorplex, if not, maybe goldwell silk lift to see if this still happens
Blondor multi blonde powder is pretty gentle considering it absolutely gets up to the 7levels of lift on virgin hair that is insulated with foil. It's hard to melt hair with if unless you overlap something you *really* shouldnt have. It swells MINIMALLY. if you've used redken up to 7 bleach ( literallly doesnt swell at all) , this one swells the tiniest bit more than that. If you were to do a bleach retouch youd want to leave about a milimiter of the regrowth between the bleach and the previouslt lightened hair for swelling where as with redken up to 7 you cant leave any and habe to almost overlap some to cover all the regrowth. Blondor multi blonde powder doesn't get super liquidy and slippery as it processes like blondeme does either. It also lifts with less of an ugly raw tone on the same head of hair at the same level of lift than redken. I haven't used the blondorplex variety but I genuinely don't see the need. I have no difficulty personally telling thr true color of the hair through the light blue colored lightener after wiping it off to check.
If you put it under heat it will swell more. If I do a bleachout on virgin medium coarseness i canlift a highly porous wella scale level4/Schwarzkopf or goldwell scale level 5 with blondor and 30 volume on ends and 15 on roots processed under a cap in a medium room temperature for 50 minutes to a wella level 8/goldwell level9.
Goldwell silklift blue (the stronger lift one with no toning pigment) was reformulated few years ago and went from being my favorite up to 7 bleach for its gentleness (lifted slower but as well as blondor) but post reformulated it was runny an hard to foil with unless I added the goldwell thickener. Of you mixed it outside of manufacture suggested ratio the consistency wild change quickly as some coworkers tried.
Can you try the matrix high riser pre bonded lightner
Nicely done.
Apparently Blondeme doesn’t swell if you use a different brand developper(not oil based)
How long do u leave on the bleach and toner for?
We’ll is the only product my hairdresser can use on my hair.
How long do you leave your ice t toner on for???
Normally use wella bleach powder but was wondering about Blond me 🧐🤔 but NVM…Appreciate this review ❤
Happy to help!
I'm a fan of wella
Okay. I'm buying it right now 🤣
Hi Bobbys- I trained with wella here in the uk and the Koleston colours are awful. Very very warm (yellow brunette based) the Illumina are lovely for toning but I’m definitely sold on the blondorplex for minimal swelling
Thanks for the info!
Wella is actually very cool overall for a German line
@@SupTJay yes, German ladies do tend to love the more golden shades. Schwarzkopf being the coolest of all the lines. Koleston is far far too warm for the UK where cooler colours are preferred
there is also hairbudda
Jack Winn Pro, Brilliant.
Wins by far. I can send you some if you would like to try it
Wella time for me too!
By the way best Wella products are the Kolestone Range, as they are free from many nasty things and work amazing nowthey even have more violet base just like illumina.
Having more cool tone built in doesn't make it better if you know how to formulate
I love this bleach it’s perfect for me
So pretty ❤
The new Blondme Precision 7 bleach powder is for the problem of swelling. 😊
ooh, this stuff looks promising
also blondme released a new lightener also called presicion lightener for avoid overlapping
Main issue with it though is that you're compromising on lift... it's a shame really
@@alexpocherthudgell yes it doesnt lift, its under performs, so yes it doesnt swell but in what cost 🤣
I love blondor Plex ❤
I love Wella 🎉🎉
Purple on top and ashy on ends.
How long did you leave the bleach on the roots? My hairdresser leaves 20 volume on for 1hr! Seems like a lot of time 🤷♀️
I have dark brown hair and use 20vol for 1hr 15m, to acheive a pale yellow
I love all wella ❤
Pls try out guy tang 🙇🏼♀️
I no change my blondor for nothing best ever using for years never problems we 10 or 20 or 30 i love i do hair fo35 year nothing better blondor #1
HELLO, Bobbie can you please tell me what city and state you are in? I would like to come and see you for hair color. Thank you so much.
I am in Langley, BC Canada!
Will you do a comparison with Redken Flash lift?
Oh god I hate flashlift 😂😂 sorry but I had to use it for years!!
@@BobbyHairStudio Oh really? 😄May I ask why? So curious to hear your take
Perfecttttt❤❤
Must be a ragdoll cat. Only ones I could take everywhere and they'd be perfectly happy. ❤
He was! His name was Rebel (rip)
I love black light by oligo bleach there is a clay one a cool blonde a super one love them
I'm curious to know how Oligo compares
@@Hairfan i have try many brand and i still return to oligo my favorite one is the cool blonde one powder or paste i love them both
Why don’t you start with the back? Starting at the crown where it’s the most dense for most, and then moving to the front? That way you can easily rinse the back once it’s lightened, without having to rinse the entire head so the front sections can continue to process? Not to be rude, but banding and the panic of sections over processing while others are brought up to your desired lift could be avoided if you did it that way. I know you’ve mentioned your blonde guru following the method you’ve done in this video, but maybe give ‘SLKBLEACHEXPERT’ a watch. She’s a gem to the industry.
It's purple. Was that intentional?
Is just the toner to cancel out any warmer/yellow tones once she wash her hair it would fade out and leave her just with platinum blonde.
The toner in this is applies splotchy asf
Will you ever use blonde me again ?
Yes! I love Blondme still
Rebel!!❤❤
He’s such a king
Would never go to a Wella Salon- I love my BlondMe bleached hair After a salon visit!
