This specialized type of hair dye lightens natural hair significantly, often up to four levels, without the need for bleach. It deposits minimal color while maximizing lift, making it ideal for achieving pale blonde shades on light to medium brown hair. For instance, a level 6 brown could be lifted to a level 10 pale blonde using this process.
The ability to achieve dramatic lightening without the harshness of bleach is a significant advantage. This gentler approach minimizes damage, preserving hair health and integrity. Historically, achieving such lift required aggressive bleaching, often resulting in dry, brittle hair. This innovation offers a less damaging path to lighter shades, broadening the possibilities for color transformations while prioritizing hair health.
