L'Oréal Technique Quick Blue High Performance Hair Lightener - Hair Bleaching Powder - No Drip Formula, Extra Strength Lightening Action Lifts Up To 7 Levels, Single Application 7.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

Was looking super dull and I was sick of it

Worked perfectly. I had this awful washed out shade of manic panic voodoo blue that would not come out. Was looking super dull and I was sick of it. I bought this after researching it a bit and I am beyond satisfied. I combined this with another l’oreal product, Oreor Creme 20 Volume Developer and it worked amazingly well. I mixed the colour remover with the developer and applied it to the parts of my hair with the dye. I left it on for a little over 30 minutes and it comepletely took the blue out. My hair looks like I bleached it again! Only thing that may be an issue for some is if they apply the mixture to their dark roots, it lightens it a bit. Nothing too bad though, looks like a natural light brown and blends with my hair nicely. Very satisfied!!

I would give this 10 stars – absolutely brilliant stuff and surprisingly gentle on the hair

excellent product – my hair has been dyed black for many years and I have tried several products to remove the build up to go lighter. This one we did one application and it has taken it up from black to a medium ginger colour and we reckon one more application and I’ll be able to re colour it to the colour I want. If you have the dark colour build up problem that i had, don’t waste your money on cheaper shop sold products- spend the little bit extra and try this!!

Don’t expect it to take away all color…

My natural color is light brown. I have been dying it a chestnut brown for a few years (reddish highlights, but a single color not “salon highlights” , just a rich, reddish-tone brown the shows reddish in the sunlight especially. I’ve used Salermvision for years). I noticed more white hair coming and figured it’s time to start going a bit lighter as over time my hair was definitely showing the dark shades towards the ends that results from coloring over time with few trims or on the ends of hair that are more porous and accept the dye. It was getting darker at the ends and my root coloring was evident to me.My plan was to use this to remove all that darker brown that accumulated over the years, starting fresh with no color. (White? my natural dark brown?) Well, folks, I had a gorgeous orange the color of freshly-picked carrots under a disco ball when I used this. A step away from neon punk rock orange. No problem, it was not what I expected, but I figured my new “light brown” would take when I dyed it a couple days later. Not. I was still a redhead, albeit toned down a bit.I received nothing but compliments on my new color, but it was clearly red. Not burgundy, auburn, but a dark-ish carrot-top. I love it, but it wasn’t the expected outcome. That first coloring left me with amazing depth and tones all over the place, really glistening in the light. I got so many compliments, and comments, that my haircolor changed. I had planned on a subtle change to a lighter color, and instead had a full-on new color. Seriously, everyone loved it, said it suited my coloring/skin tone, etc., but it was drastic.A couple weeks later I dyed it a light brown again, and wouldn’t you know, I’m closer to the chestnut brown I started with, even though the color this time was a dark ashe blond/light brown color with no reds. It’s not quite as dark, but pretty close. This second dying about 3 weeks later has toned down the color change from “hey, did you dye your hair” to it is not noticeable except for the style now. I like subtle and stand out for my overall aesthetic, not a shock from drastic change.My hair is not in the same condition as it was before, I will say that while my results worked out great for the look/color, (lucky unplanned mistake), the condition of my hair was definitely dry/damaged at the ends. So I cut layers everywhere, keeping the length in the back so it’s not quite so noticeable I did. It’s a couple inches past shoulder length. I had long layers before, but now have overall layering so it “just” doesn’t reach a ponytail in the back w/o gel or hairspray to hold it in place. It will grow, I cut about 2″ off overall, and I’ve learned my lesson (I’m not a pro or a chemist, I will stick to coloring). I wrote this long review so you would be helped and not surprised. This color remover will remove build-up but not take your hair down to a neutral palet/blank slate to work with, you have to know how to manage color for the resultant base. Good luck!

Bye bye Red

I used this with water to help remove red pigment from my hair, and it did exactly what I needed it to do. It mixed easily without clumping and lifted the color evenly. I was happy with the results, and my hair didn’t feel overly damaged afterward when used with the proper developer and hair care routine. If you’re looking for a reliable lightener to help remove stubborn color, this is a solid option.

L’Oréal color remover

Bleached my colored wig knots sooo well. I used it to bleach my 99J wig and it made the wig look like it grew out of my scalp. I only used about two tablespoons and it worked perfectly. I wish the package had a seal so I could reseal what I didn’t use.

It went wrong

I want to start off by saying a lot of this might have just been user error due to only having 30 vol developer and not 20 vol. My hair was also a very strong purple color as seen in the photo and that was what we were trying to remove. It didn’t go too well however. Had to go through two sittings of the stripping because the first one was removed too quickly, and the second one didn’t go all that well either but at least it removed a bit more but my hair was stuck with this awful mint green and discoloration in general as if I came straight out of a chlorine heavy pool.It also messed the texture of my hair really badly, I had to treat it afterwards with keratin and some hair oil to hydrate it again. It also somehow managed to have a chemical reaction with a pravana hair dye I had gotten to color my hair. It didn’t pick up the color at all and instead it caused the color change you see in the last photo almost like it continue to bleach my hair? Or the dye did? I don’t know what the heck happened but it sucked and now I have to figure something out to paint over this mess.
