Choosing your BW2+ Hair Bleach size
This product is one listed pack, 8 oz. The listing does not name a shade, so there is no shade to pick. Before you buy, check that a developer is in your order, since the directions name Clairol Professional Cream Developer. The brand says developer strength matters for on-scalp use and advises 20 Vol or lower on the scalp. It lists 40 Vol with a 1:1.5 ratio for maximum lift.
Hair bleach basics
Hair bleach is a powder that is mixed with a developer to form a creamy product. The mix is applied to the hair to lighten the color already there. Per the brand, this powder is non-pigmented, so it does not add color of its own. How much lift you get depends on the developer, the ratio, and how long the product stays on. Follow the directions, check the hair as you go, and rinse thoroughly when done.
