has anyone ever used these instead of bleach? I am dark brown but lighten my new growth then go through with powder bleach. I was just wondering if this takes out more of the warmth than the bleach does.
any opinions is greatly appreciated.

I'm so confused about these products. I was under the impression that you need to bleach to lighten? Do these products contain bleach? How do they lighten? I've also heard it will only lift a couple of shades. ------------- |

| I want to say this is bleach but you can use it on your scalp. regular bleach you can't because it is too rough for it. |

You mean like a high lift color? They work great on naturally dark hair,just not dyed dark hair. I think bleach is stronger though. I used to use loreal high lift blonde Supreme (most lightening in one box)
It took my light/medium brown hair to a nice light blonde.I wish I could use it now but my hair is dyed darker and will probably have to be bleached.
Not sure about the warmth thing? Depends on how strong the high lft creme is and how strong of bleach you are using to I guess.

| they do work as im very dark naturally you need to use a 40 vol developer not bleach but a peroxide, there fatastic and wen mixing the right colours with them you can obtain many shades of blonde |

| I use blonding creme now instead of bleach. My hair is naturally pretty dark, like a dark brown, with grey mixed in. The goldwell blonding creme + topchic 10p + 30 developer mixed together works very well on my roots. Since I've been using this mixture my hair is the lightest it's ever been, with no brassy tones. |

Thanks for the responses.  I will be trying this. I saw Wella had the blonding creme that could take your hair up to a level 9 and since these responses I am going to give it a try. with Christmas right around the corner I need to lighten this new growth.

Good luck Geneva. Just make sure you can put that blonding creme directly on the scalp. Because goldwell's blonding creme cannot go on the scalp on its own, only if it's mixed with a topchic. So look into that with the wella. |

I will. but was thinking of doing highlites with it, so it wouldn't go on the scalp and don't know how well it would work doing it like that. |

I still don't understand. I get that it only works on virgin hair, yes? And the same way as bleach (distroying the pigment on the hair shaft), yet is not as strong? I'm going to go googling. ------------- |

Ally it probably works best on virgin hair. I don't know if it would work on hair that's been colored. I use it on my roots and it works well. Not sure how it works, but it's a lift and is much more gentle than bleach. Scalp heat probably helps, too.
Not sure what your hairdresser would use. If they have a swatch book, the haircolor brand should be on the book.
