Directions Hair Lightening Peroxide 30 Volume (9%) is a cream peroxide developer intended for mixing with bleach powder to lift hair during lightening and bleaching processes.
Perfect for a balanced middle-ground lift 30 Vol offers a good middle ground — more lift than 20 Vol, but less aggressive than 40 Vol — making it suitable for many bleaching jobs. Cream consistency gives more manageable handling, reducing drips and improving application control.
Compatibility built into the same colour system Because it's from the same brand as Directions dyes, kits, and toners, this developer offers better predictability when combined with the wider range, so results stay consistent across the full colouring process.
Key Features & Benefits
- Balanced Lift: More lift than 20 Vol, less aggressive than 40 Vol.
- Better Application Control: Cream consistency reduces drips and improves handling.
- Brand Compatibility: Pairs predictably with Directions bleach powders, kits, and toners.
- Buffering & Supportive Ingredients: Emollients may reduce harshness compared to pure peroxide.
- Salon/Professional Volume: Commonly supplied in 1L bottles for full-head bleaching.

How to Use and Care for Hair Lightening Peroxide 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. Use a non-metallic bowl (plastic, ceramic) and a non-metallic brush.
Mix: A common ratio is 25g bleach powder: 75ml cream peroxide (adjust for consistency). Mix well to a smooth, creamy, lump-free consistency.
Apply: Apply to clean, towel-dried hair. Spread evenly using a tint brush.
Targeted Timing: Leave for 15–30 minutes depending on desired intensity, then rinse with cool water until clear.
Storage: Rinse thoroughly and follow with a moisturizing shampoo.

- If your hair has been previously bleached, lightened, spray lightened, or coloured using metallic salt-based products or henna, do not use this product.
- If you have bleached, tinted, or permed your hair recently, this product may not be suitable for further lightening. Please contact us for further advice.
- Not to be used on persons under 16 years old.
- Do not use the product on other body hair, eyebrows, or eyelashes.
- Not recommended for use during pregnancy.
- Do not use on an irritated scalp or broken skin.
