Crème bleach

Choose by lift level and the conditioning your hair needs. In this range you’ll find options labeled with lift volumes such as 20 Vol and 30 Vol. For example, 20 Vol products like Professional Oxi Creme are sold in large salon sizes (1000 ml) and smaller tubes (150 ml), delivering mild lift suitable for blending with your natural tone. Higher lift is offered by 30 Vol options such as Luna Oxygen Cream (30 Vol / 9%), which provides a two to three level lift for lighter results. Look for formulas that include conditioning ingredients like Panthenol when available to help protect hair during the process.

20 Vol lifts provide a gentler lightening that blends with your natural shade, while 30 Vol lifts offer a stronger change for lighter results. For instance, 20 Vol products are described as smooth and easy to mix, and they blend with your base color, whereas 30 Vol products deliver a higher lift (about 2–3 levels) for brighter outcomes. This range includes both large salon-size options and smaller, consumer-friendly tubes, giving you flexibility depending on how often you bleach and how dramatic you want the result.

Yes, there are professional-size options designed for frequent salon use. A 1000 ml bottle of Oxi Creme 20 Vol is described as a salon-size economy bottle, ideal for regular bleaching workflows, while smaller tubes provide convenient home-use alternatives. These products are formulated to mix with color creams or bleaching powders and are designed to deliver consistent lift when used with the recommended activator. When selecting, consider how often you bleach and the amount you typically need per session.

Yes, some formulas include ingredients to help protect hair during bleaching. For example, Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5) is noted in the professional Oxi Creme line to hydrate and protect hair from dryness during coloring. Other options emphasize safe and gentle formulas, such as Jolieva Creme Bleach, which markets a safe and effective lightening experience and easy mixing with an activator to blend with your skin tone.

Mix the activator with the bleach to create a fast-acting, gentle mixture that will lighten hair and blend it with your natural skin tone. The Jolieva description highlights mixing the activator with the bleach for a smooth, evenly blended result, while other products in the range are designed to blend smoothly when combined with standard activators. Always follow the product’s own mixing instructions to ensure even distribution and minimize breakage.

For darker hair, a higher lift option like 30 Vol can achieve brighter results, while 20 Vol provides a milder lift that preserves more natural pigment. In this range, Luna’s 30 Vol option is explicitly described as delivering a medium lift of 2–3 levels, which can be suitable for those seeking a noticeable lightening without excessive damage. If you're unsure, start with a 20 Vol product and perform a patch test on a small strand first to gauge how your hair responds.

Yes, you can choose between larger salon-size bottles and smaller consumer tubes. For example, Oxi Creme 20 Vol is available in a 1000 ml bottle, while other versions come in smaller volumes (such as 150 ml). This variety lets you pick the amount that fits how often you bleach and the amount you typically use in a session, helping you manage both results and product usage efficiently.
