I just found your account and I loved this video - it's the first one I've watched, but I plan on looking for more as soon as I finish this post. I moved to a new city two years ago and have not been able to connect with a good stylist. I have a very short pixie cut - finding a person who can cut a pixie is already enough of a challenge. To make things more difficult, my base is a level 3-4. My long-time stylist in my previous city used a 10V developer to lift my hair to a level 10 - her work was always perfect. I have thought about doing my own color because they can't seem to get it correct - I have been to 12 stylists in 2.5 years 😵💫 I have watched many educational videos, consulted with my former stylist, etc... I feel I can really do this. Thank you so very much again for posting this information... it's SUPER helpful and inspires me to release my inner stylist!
I want to say a huge thank you for this and your other Blondeme videos! I love your channel. I wish I were in your area but Ill take what I can get. I love 🤓 nerding out about color!
Absolutely love these videos, you have no idea how much your educational vids on blondme have helped me!!!
That's awesome! This makes my day!!
Wonderful authentic video..too many people want to rush a service and take no consideration for the hair...it is about hair! THANK you for having personal integrity...
Wow! You comment really touched me! The health of each person hair is always paramount to me.
Thank you for sharing your Schwarzkopf knowledge. Love your videos!
So nice of you. Thank you!! I really appreciate it.
I hope you found this helpful!! I am still working on my Blondme Vs Blonde life by Joico.
Thankyou for this video. Im switching over to blonde me from loreal. Very helpful tips❤
I just learn more and more💜 really thanks you so so much for your time! I really appreciate you🌷💕💜
Thank you 🙏 for your kind words 😊
I love Blonde Me ; always get there using 20 Vol , great vid thanx
That’s interesting w the chlorine and WELL water comment! I never thought of the well water/ bleach! I’ve hated our well water( even w the very best filtration whole house) I have for years ONLY washed my hair twice a week w distilled water. My stylist says I have the softest hair she’s ever seen- she now recommends that to people who swim or have well water
I love your approach & content!
Wow thank you!! I’m coming back soon
Thank you for your tutorials, I love them! Could you, please recommend any good masks or just aftercare for blonds? Schwarzkopf abviously recommends that keratin repair care, but is there any more good products on the market that are maybe the best? And what is the best repair products for overly processed hair? Overall my hair is good but I find some spots be a little less dent and strong than the rest of the hair. Thank you in advance!
I found your video very helpful. I used blondme on my hair. I have naturally level 3/4 dark hair color. I only used 20 vol to lighten my hair & it did an great job! My roots actually turned white yes you heard me right white not yellow. This is an very powerful lightner. This product will get you blonde quickly. They don’t want you to use this blondme lightner with heat because the bleach will swell & the hair will melt off.
What brand of développer did you use with it?
Glad it was helpful!
I use the Blondme developer for the "right consistency."
@@thecuriousstylist8531 thank you :)
Very helpful thank you so much!
I’m so glad you like this video!!
Hi Maureen. These videos are so helpful to me watch. You have been such a great help to me and are a really good person. I guess I am a curious, color enthuist as well as a bit of a nerd.(Nerds are so cool) I have never used 40 or 30 vol in the blondeme bleach, thank Goodness. I can't imagine using any higher a vol then 20 as it lifts very well. The chlorine in hair is a pretty scary thing. I have heard story's of people's hair heating up and smoking. Ughhhh ! As always all your tips have been noted and I look forward to learning more in your future videos. Take care and be well. Your friend, Nia
Thank you my Love! I was a little scared at first to add the Fellow stylists, endthuists and friends part. I think it's campy. But I love me some good campy once and a while.
Thank you so much! I don’t know where you’re from, But where can a regular joe find this? :)
Thanks!
Hey Maureen ! Thank you for your videos, so good and helpfull. So I a man (who care at this point) quite short hair but not shaved, i dye my hair 2 days ago with blond me with 20 developper. The first time about 45 minutes, lifted very well, the second time 40 minutes, cause i was so scared to burn my all hair. I didn't expect to have WHITE hair cause I am dark brown naturaly (would say 2-3). My goal is having pastel pink hair, i did tone with the strawberry toner from blond me line, turn out pretty good, more beige-pink thank pastel pink tho. I think i am at a level 8 now, and need to go to 9 to have the perfect pastel pink. My question is, can i lift it with a 10 developper to get 1 or 2 levels up ? I know it's hard to tell like this but.... My hair are dry now, but not broken i would say, feel great.
I been using Blondme 40 with wellaplex, every 2 weeks for 10 months. I leave it on for 80-90 mins and never do round 2. I love my nearly platinum results! My hair looks shiny and healthy. No burning or irritation. But Also, I have very short hair less than .5 of an inch long (little longer than buzz cut). I add to my sensitive/fine areas last, such as my temples and edges. Because I keep my hair very short, I don’t mind if I have a chemical cut/breakage of the previously processed hair. I prefer this so I don’t have to cut my hair each time. But I’d probably never do this process if my hair was longer, to avoid the possible breakage.
Ty for sharing! Do you still need a shower cap for it?
The wellaplex makes it a 30vol 😅
Hi great content😍👏 I have heavy thick Asian hair. And how long I should wait if I want platinum ? Could u plz help🙏
i previously bleached the back of my hair bottom with a different bleach kit. now a 2months later i am wanting to go blond all over, i bought the blond me with a different brand developer 20 and 30, im at a level 2,3 shade on the rest of my hair, is it ok to use blondme on the already bleached hair i bleached a month ago? thank you for all of your help watched your videos great tips!
Also just got to the end of your video, and I can say right now, I have used 40 vol w/ blondme in the past when getting highlights, (we usually started with 25-30 and by the time we would get to the last sections of hair, we'd use the 40vol... and only recently did I watch a seminar by schwartzkopf explaining that the 40 vol developer that they manufacture isn't even intended to be used with the blondme powder bleach, it's only intended for use with their clay lightener... so anyways, back to my experiences with using the 40 vol in foils... I actually never experienced the "damage" part, because that developer LITERALLY liquifies to water when in foils, the lightener leaks out of the foils, drips like clear water with a powder residue (I've noticed when the water drops dried on my arms or my hands or wherever, and then when pulling those foils out, it looks like it started lifting near the root, but the rest of the hair foiled is hardly even lifted... like i've got dark Thick black hair that's a level 2/3, and so even using 5 volume developer at least will lift the brown tones quickly, and then take forever to lift past the 50 shades of orange, but those 40 vol foils? They would seriously not even lift that first stage of the dark brown, it would look TERRIBLE, like leopard print, black with orange blobs right on the root of the hair UNDERNEATH that foil, so its like it would liquify, and then just leak onto the scalp out of the foil.. so it wasn't even like a bleed mark, or tiger stripe, it was seriously just awful, and I AM FREAKING GLAD THAT I FINALLY FOUND A CZcams CHANNEL THAT DISCUSSES THE BRILLIANCE OF BLONDME BUT ALSO POINTS OUT TIPS AND TRICKS!!! Thanks again!! I absolutely cherish you!!
Wow 😲 thank you so much ☺️ tears 😭 of joy!
@@thecuriousstylist8531 Wait - so you can't use foils with this lightener?? I'm planning to use foils with it. It will turn liquid???!!!
Would be awesome if u do total blond for Asian thick hair ❤
I know this is a old video but maybe you will still see my comment.
I was wondering if there is a difference in the different color containers. I noticed there are some that are gold(like the one you show) and others that are more brownish but they say the same thing on both. So I didn't know if maybe they changed the labels or if one is fake or what🤷🏼♀️
I have bleached my hair so many times with regular bleach 40 and verry strong mayby too much but then I saw this blondme system seems a lot better for the hair next time I will try the blond me with the 6% developer and hopefully my hair will feel much healthier after haha I think I fried my hair too much😫🤦♀️
Is this product healthier than using a normal bleach highlights? Is it a high lift instead? Thx!
so true...30 volume is too much!
What good does it do to use a high volume developer if the highlighted strands break off? If 20 Vol. isn’t enough, there is something wrong (hair is colored or coated) use a clarifying shampoo or treatment. 30 or 40 Vol. for a full head bleach is a big NO, NO, the developer will hyper accelerate and Burn Out before you get the lift you need because the hair can only absorb so much in a given time and the rest is out-gassed into the air as well as causing excessive oxidation damage to the hair. The cuticle layer begins to over-soften and become damaged after approximately 50 mins. In a bleach mixture so 45 to 50 mins. Per session and let the hair and scalp recover for 48 to 72 hours in between.
I agree %100. This lightener does the work for you if you just give it time.
I used 20% dev all over both on roots and mid/ends. Is that bad?
Also how fast should you 1. Apply the foils and 2. Leave them on once rhe last foil is done hecause i usually find half my hair only gets 20 minutes or less because i took too long and dont want the first ones to fry off
Can you please make a video when we can use 40 volume thank you very much for your help!
Good topic for video
Can I use 20 v 1 part and half part 7 volume (1:1.5) to lighten a level 4 virgin hair to a level 10?
I'm planning on bleaching my hair to a point that I can put any colour on it and it won't look that much different from the tube (I'm talking about fantasy colours, like pink and blue, that won't look orange or green because of the hair base). The thing is that, I have very dark hair and I always will need to bleach at least twice. I've never used blondme, but this time I wanted to give a chance to a bleach that everyone says do wonders in very dark hair (mine is aroun 2 to 3), but I don't know if I should use 20 or 30 volumes. I've always bleached with 30 volumes, but I don't know if it was the bleach brands or my dark hair, but even if I bleached twice, it woul just lift to a very egg yolk like colour (so I needed to bleach a third time if I wanted a lighter base, but my hair was damaged a lot). So I'm very skeptical that everyone says 20 volume developer is enough with this bleach and I'm afraid to buy it and it won't work on my hair. Notes: I never dyed my hair besides colorful, never done any chemicals procedure on it to straighten it or curly it, for exemple. The only thing I've done was bleach, but now there's not a single trace of it and I'm not Asian, so my hair is not thick, although is not thin, is somewhere in between
Honestly I can’t give you direction in this. Without a consultation in person it’s hard for me to tell you what to do. I wouldn’t want to give you advice and then ruin your hair. There is more than one factor that will determine the direction that we’re going to lighten and to color. I really can’t give you advice in this.
@@thecuriousstylist8531 It's okay, thank you for taking your time to answer me. Have a nice day!
So helpful! I’m confused though. My “kit” came with 30 vol. The way you have talked makes me scared to use 30 vol because my hair is super fragile. It’s a little darker than dirty dishwater and I’m doing highlights. I don’t want to burn my hair off. Should I do a 20 vol on the back, and 10 vol on the top, and sides?
You can dilute it..
I'm trying to fix some blotches / banding and I'm really scared of blondeme swelling. I have 20 vol so I was going to dilute it with water to make 10 vol. Do you think the more runnier consistency would make it less swelling? or would the thicker paste 1:1 20 vol make it less swelling.
I have some questions wanna do my own hair please help
In the case where the client has prelightner on the ends can I overlap the bleached hair with 7vol to give lift but keep integrity? (Only when they want to be lighter and it’s possible to do so safely)
This is a topic for another video for sure!! It really depends on the Integrity of the hair. If the hair is been previously lightened Well sometimes use a very low peroxide and sheer out my bleach by mixing it 1 to 4 and to put that on the ends of the hair is been previously lightened. I will use a less powerful bleach.
Quick question; if a second bleach session is needed, how long do you recommend waiting? I think a month but please let me know what you think. I love a platinum blonde, but I also think hair integrity is just as critical.
I agree platinum hair is no joke. I wish I could answer you. It really depends on your condition and where your are starting at. If your goal is platinum make sure to get top notch shampoos and conditioner’s. Treat your hair like fine silk. I definitely would give it time and make sure your stylist is experienced with platinum hair.
@@thecuriousstylist8531 awesome thank you for the reply! I understand there is no one size fits all answer but you did answer my question nonetheless 💜🙏🌸
When does Blondme Lightener expires?
Hello
On my 2 inch root touch up. I used 40 Volume on my virgin level 3 hair. Double processed. NO HEAT and FOILS. 35 mins 1st process. 20 mins 2nd process. And I t was fine I had a few sponge strands at an over lap.
However my hair is fine not destroyed.
I do not recommend it for others. Im just giving you my experience. I have Marylin Monroe Vintage look blonde 🤩😊
hey this is a little late loll but coukd u use a diffrent brand of developer with the blonde me brand ?
Yes it just might not be the “right” consistency.
So i did lighten my hair once to a warm brown and afterwards I toned it back to black cuz i got sick of the roots. Its been 4 Months and the black coloration is almost out so i decided to go platinum blonde. I bought the blondeme bleach power and their 30 volume and 20 volume developer and I was plan to bleach my roots with 20 Volume but the rest of my hair with 30 since it still has some old pigments of the coloration left I thought 30 volume would be better. Do you think it is okay to use 2 different levels of developers ? I'm kinda worried i might get an uneven result.
Going platinum is a lengthy process. Each persons hai is different in thickness , coarseness, and undertones. I wouldn’t try doing this process by myself. I have been a stylist for 25 years. Once hair is dyed back To black it’s harder process to remove. Two different developers is the right way to go. However there is a lot to going platinum in the most safest way. I would be very careful.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I have used blondeme once and I am still trying to learn about it, to improve my technique. They say to not leave it on the hair for longer than 45 minutes but I left mine on for an hour and 15 minutes to get it light enough with 20 Volume... Do you know if I lighten in twice for 30 minutes, would that be the equivalent?
After 45 mins the peroxide had lived it’s life and the gas it out of the product. It will continue to work. I have left the product on for two hours and it is still OK. I have two more videos on blonde me basics if you’re interested I linked in the video
What if your hair is like a level two so dark Latina hair and I have to do my roots can I just use 30 because my hair is super dark I feel like 20 does not lift it as I want it to to reach level 9
As she said, you should use 20 vol, wait a few days and use 20 vol again. You probably have to let it process for 1H, but if you feel any burning past 45 minutes (or even before), rinse immediately - and definitely don't go over 1H!
I’m thinking of trying blonde me to lighten my hair myself for the first time! My roots are quite grown out (maybe around 3-4 inches) and are a level 7 (my roots are an ashy color with a slight red tint from some previous color I overlaid). Then the rest is probably a level 8 strawberry blonde color that was lightened and colored many times but feels relatively healthy and soft.
How would you go about getting a light even base so I can play with bright rainbow colors? I’m nervous about which part to apply the bleach to first since I don’t want to damage the previously lightened (with bleach by a professional) hair.
Thank you in advance!!!💓
My scalp is pretty sensitive and whenever I’ve had my hair lightened in a salon they use olaplex which has helped my hair feel better after the process & prevented my scalp from itching and burning as much. I’m hoping that Blonde Me will have some of the same properties as olaplex for protecting the scalp and hair while also lightening well!
I bought 40vol thinking it was 20vol.. I noticed i mixed way too much developer & not enough bleach & it was eating away at the bleach & started smoking in the bowl.. has this ever happened to anyone else? If I mixed too much blondme bleach & not enough developer, it would harden. I finally got the correct mixing ratio & used it on a client but it was scary.
40 vol is not recommended! Please don’t use that. I bet it was scary. What do you use now? I like using a mixture of 7 and 20 vol on my darker haired clients
@@thecuriousstylist8531 why not just use 10 volume?
I have been looking at Blond Me today and where I looked they did say to use 40 volume and they used it themselves so now im confused-
There are a lot of irresponsible people out there, and the worst part is most of them are so-called "professionals". Even 30 vol shouldn't be on the market, let alone 40 or 50.
You'd think these tips would go without saying, but I've seen quite a few stylists that Don't follow manufacturer's instructions. I know some folks like quick results but 40 volume and lightener anywhere near skin is absolutely ridiculous. Persulfate powders are Very irrritating. I've had stinging occur with 10 volume because my scalp was still fairly clean from washing 2 days prior. These are Strong chemicals, and in this case a bit more concentrated than usual.
I agree that most of these tips are very Rudimentary. However I think it’s important so just to go over them anyway. I can’t tell you how many people tell me they use 40 volume. I just shake my head.
Good afternoon 👋
Question: how does the ratio of developer affect the lightening? 1:2 is runnier and saves money, but I feel like 1:1 works better faster
Good Question!! I generally stick to the manufacturer suggested ratio. If you dilute and make the lightener runner by thinning out the bleach it will make the lifting of the bleach weaker.
@@thecuriousstylist8531 blonde me has a range on the back for the developer, but I just assumed it was so you could get a good working consistency
I had a friend come in today who’s hair was SMOKING from blondme. I cannot figure out why, I didn’t use foils or heat-I clarified her hair three times before, didn’t use any product after clarifying her, she used good products at home, we cut off all her old color that I did over a year ago and I started her with 7 vol and everything was fine til the section where I bumped up to 20. They started smoking after like 10 mins of processing. It was so freaking scary-9 years of doing hair and nothing like that has ever happened. The weirdest thing is that she had no breakage after (I did decide to do a k18 treatment after but still..) I just can’t figure out why
Is she on medication? Sometimes the medication has minerals that present themselves in the hair. I live in an area where we need to be careful of well water. The iron in water can cause that reaction. I was able to use Malabo C packages to remove any problems. This has worked for me
@@thecuriousstylist8531 she is on the same meds that she’s been on the last time I did her hair a year ago-and she hasn’t taken her meds in a few months. We also don’t have hard water here we have some of the best water in the nation actually-and I clarified her hair twice and did a Malibu treatment on her before bleaching
Hi can I used igora royal developer with blondme premium lighter? Thank You
Yes but us might not be the right c consistency I have found it to be runny
@@thecuriousstylist8531 Hi thank You for take it time to respond me. 🌹 also I have the igora vibrance tonera lot toner but only I have my Blondme developer V7 left did you tried too ?
Greetings
@@Accnews_ it will work but it will on be the right consistency
@@thecuriousstylist8531 Thank You 🤩✅
hey i do a lot of highlights, i always start with 7vol but for my last 20 foil, i tend to bump up my developer to 35 and 40 vol, I didn't find any problems with blondeme so far apart from swelling and it exposing more warmth but what can you do when you are fully booked everyday and i always olaplex, never seen any breakage from it tho
I love bumping up the developer as I go though my foil. I look at each guest as case by case Scenario. In the beginning of my career I had a huge horror story job. I will tell that story one day. So I don’t risk it even with Olaplex. Those “bonds” are synthetic so in time it wears off exposing the real health of the hair.
@@thecuriousstylist8531 just so you know 90% of my client are asian, their hair is really really strong however when doing blonde and caucasian hair i tend to use no more than 20vol
@@toeyvevo yes. Asian air is miracle of strength. I am always impressed with what strength there hair has. I do use strong peroxide on Asian hair.
I used 10 vl with blonde me and it broke my hair.
two of your tips were to not use heat. and then one tip is not to use 30volume. would be obvi other tip is not to use 40 volume. but you said it like it wasnt lol
Hi I am using 30 volume on some weave bundles. If I don’t get the lift I want , can I do 30 volume double process as there is no scalp to heat up the hair ?
Do you recommend olaplex with this product?
Ola Plex is a great product! You can use it with Blondme. However, it will weaken the strength of the Leitner. And Schwarzkopf has a bond builder in Blondme
