Bleach Powder

Bleach powder is a product used in hair lightening processes to remove color from the hair. It typically contains bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide, which help to break down the natural pigment in the hair shaft. Bleach powder is mixed with a developer to form a paste, which is then applied to the hair to lighten it. It’s commonly used to achieve highlights, balayage, or all-over lightening, but it’s important to use with caution as it can cause damage if not applied properly.

Developer

Hair color developer, also known as developer or peroxide, is a cream or liquid solution used in conjunction with hair color or bleach powder to activate and facilitate the color-changing process. Developers come in various strengths, typically ranging from 10 volume (3%) to 40 volume (12%). The volume refers to the amount of hydrogen peroxide present in the developer, with higher volumes producing more significant lightening or color change.

Developers work by opening the hair cuticle and allowing the color molecules or bleach to penetrate the hair shaft. They also help in breaking down the existing hair pigment to make way for the new color. The choice of developer strength depends on the desired level of lift or color change and the starting color of the hair. It’s essential to follow the instructions carefully and use the appropriate developer strength to achieve the desired results while minimizing damage to the hair.
