How to Use and Care for Hair Lightening Kit 30 Volume

 

Mandatory Strand & Skin Sensitivity Test : Always carry out a skin sensitivity and hair strand test, even if you have used the product on previous occasions.

Prep: Everyone should protect the hairline, ears, and any other sensitive areas with Vaseline before lightening.

Mix: Mix the two components of Cream Peroxide (9%) and Powder Bleach with a dyeing brush in the provided mixing bowl until it attains a creamy consistency.

Apply: Apply the cream starting from the front of the head and continue it to the neck. Apply on dry hair. Avoid applying full-strength bleach to roots/scalp first — they process faster due to body heat. Do not overlap onto already-bleached hair, as this leads to damage.

Targeted Timing: Let the kit take effect for about 15–30 minutes and check the development of the bleaching process periodically. Use the shower cap to enhance the effect of the bleaching process.

Storage: Rinse the hair well and shampoo it with the provided Moisturizing Shampoo.

Here’s a general step‑by‑step guide. Always refer to the manual included in your kit and perform patch / strand tests first.

 

  1. Patch & Strand TestConduct a skin sensitivity test at least 48 hours before full usage.On a small strand of hair, test the mixture to see how your hair responds and how far it lifts.
  2. Protect the Skin / Surrounding AreasApply petroleum jelly (Vaseline) around the hairline, ears, neck to prevent bleaching solution from contacting skin.Wear the gloves provided, and protect clothing and work surfaces.
  3. Mix the BleachIn the plastic mixing bowl, combine the 30 Vol cream peroxide with the bleach powder using the brush until creamy and lump‑free 
  4. Apply the MixtureWork in sections, applying to dry hair. For best control, start away from scalp (e.g. mid-lengths to ends), then apply to roots last (roots lift faster).Use the applicator brush for precise application.
  5. Cover / ProcessOnce applied, you may use the provided development cap to trap heat and enhance lift.Monitor your progress — typical times might range 15–30 minutes depending on hair type and desired lift. (Check package for recommended maximum time.) 
  6. Rinse & CleanseRinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until water runs clear.Use the supplied moisturizing shampoo to gently cleanse hair post-bleach.
  7. Aftercare / ConditioningAfter bleaching, apply a deep conditioner, bond repair treatment, or mask to help restore moisture and strength.Consider toning or applying semi-permanent colour as desired once hair is ready.
