Wella speedlite is stronger than wellite powder lightner??

what would be the strongest bleach you can get?

and yea i might use red and gold corrector just to be sure

Well Speedlite is very powerfull for being an on the scalp bleach, especially combined with 40 vol developer.

I think Wella powder lightener only lifts up to 7 levels, Speedlite can lift up to 10 levels if you are lucky.

If you want to use foils so that you don't get any bleaches on the scalp you could step it up and use off the scalp bleaches that are even stronger and faster, like Clairol Basic White.

everyones hair acts differently.  while its possible to go from level 1 black to level 10 platinum in one step without visiting a salon, results like that are very few and far between. (heck, even WITH visiting a salon those results are hard to get!)

Also if you have asian hair, the individual strands can be up to 4 times thicker then caucasian hair, meaning you have more hair to go through before bleach/color penitrates.

I totally agree, I also think that adding some red gold corrector would make it just perfect to get rid of any remaining golden/yellowish tones.

i really need a help right now....

my hair is black. i mean really dark black

Few years ago i bleached it almost platinum blond(no brassiness)

just in one step (i didnt even tone) thanks to my friend ..

but now i want to go blond again so i tried to do it by myself

so i used 40vol, wella welite lightner bleach and left it for

an hour and it  came out orange,  so next day i bleached again with

40vol, 7th stage and activator..  and it came out yellowish orange

i was wondering if i have chosen the wrong products.

can anyone suggest me the STRONGEST PRODUCTS?

I'm a guy and i don't care about the condition of my hair

whether my hair is gonna be fried or not, i can just shave my head

 if i dont like it, so i want to know what the strongest one would be.

thanks.

 picture below is the color i want

 

This is How MINE came out
