Wella Blondor Q

[Bmor87]

Hi Everyone,

I've been following the threads on this site for any research I've needed to do for a long time, and I've not had to join until now - as usually all the queries I have are already on here

But I have a question I'd love to get your opinions on if you don't mind

I have clients that like to go all over blonde to the scalp. And I think I've made a conservative decision to go over to Wella Blondor as I see a lot of good reports for on the scalp application. But I also see complaints of yellowyness.

As ever with products, the opinions are very mixed!

I read on the Wella recommendations to use the Extra Cool Blonde along with the Blondor Multi Blonde powder, and I wondered if any of you thought that was even worth it?

As I would be using the Welloxon 6% which apparently produces the best results with Blondor, along with a white toner such as T18?

I'd really value your opinions

(I also know there's some devout TIGI users on here and I almost went for that... but I need to just make a decision and stick with it for the time being, lol!)

Obviously, it will lighten to a pale yellow, then you tone accordingly.
What are you currently using?

I've used blondor for as long as I can remember, I have tried other bleaches but I always go back to blondor. I haven't tried any of the tone additives. I'm assuming it's a similar concept to Magma, which sounds like it would work well. When you bleach hair, even if you lift to a level 10 it should still resemble blonde/yellow. You shouldn't rely on bleach to achieve "white" white is a tone not a level. Therefore once you've reached a level 10 you would then tone with a violet, or violet pearl to achieve your white tone.

Thanks for your replies

I've been using Blond me with good results but some slight sensitivity complaints (nothing major) But I've seen good sensitivity feedback about Blondor so I fancied giving that a go.

And thanks so much for your advice. I think I'll go with it then so as to get the best possible results and I'm looking forward to trying Blondor

Realistically, there will always be a few clients with heightened sensitive skin so you’d need to be cautious with whatever lightening product you use and maybe consider using a cream based specialist scalp bleach for those clients?

Just wondering what % developer you were using with Blondme?
You shouldn’t ever use higher than 6% when using an on-scalp powder bleach, with any brand.
If you’re lifting from a low level, you could use 9% on the mids and ends but you’d still only use 6% at the root area.

I used 6% - only ever 6% on the roots like you say

I always add Schwartzkopf cool additive to all my bleach mixes. It gives great ashy hi lites and you don’t get that warm glow from the bleach, I swear by it!
