FAQs
How often can I use this lightening spray?
For initial lightening, it is recommended to use the spray every 3-5 washes until your desired shade is achieved. After reaching your target lightness, you can use it less frequently for maintenance.
Is the lightening effect permanent?
Yes, the lightening achieved with this spray is permanent on the treated hair strands. The lightened hair will not revert to its original color; it will grow out as your hair grows naturally.
Can I use this product on dark brown or black hair?
No, this product is specifically formulated for natural or color-treated blonde hair. Using it on dark brown or black hair is not recommended, as it may result in undesirable orange or brassy tones rather than a blonder shade.
Do I have to use heat for the spray to work?
While the product can still work without heat, styling heat significantly enhances and optimizes the lightening process. The formula is designed to be activated by heat, and results may be less noticeable or take longer to appear if not used with heat styling.
Does this product contain hydrogen peroxide?
Yes, the formula contains hydrogen peroxide, which is the active lightening agent. The patent-pending technology helps to control its action for gradual, natural-looking results.
What is the 'controlled lightening' technology?
The patent-pending technology combines fixative and conditioning polymers that help to retain and manage the hydrogen peroxide on the hair. This allows for a more controlled, gradual, and natural-looking lightening process compared to traditional bleaches.
What if I experience irritation on my scalp after using it?
If you experience any irritation, redness, itching, or discomfort on your scalp or skin after using the product, discontinue use immediately. Rinse thoroughly and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen. Always perform a patch test before full application.
Troubleshooting
Hair not lightening evenly or as expected.
Ensure thorough and even application across all desired sections of hair. Verify that styling heat is consistently applied after each use, as heat activates the lightening process. Wait for 3-5 uses as the lightening is gradual. Make sure your hair is clean and towel-dried before application.
Hair feels dry or brittle after use.
Reduce the frequency of application. Ensure you are consistently using a good quality moisturizing shampoo, conditioner, and occasional deep conditioning treatment. If using heat tools, use them on a lower setting and ensure the thermo-protectant in the spray has been activated. Consider spacing out applications to give your hair a break.
Undesirable tone (e.g., brassiness) appears.
This product is designed for blonde hair. If you have darker hair or are prone to brassiness, this product may not be suitable. Try using a purple-toning shampoo or conditioner specifically designed for blonde hair to neutralize unwanted yellow or orange tones. Consult with a hair professional for tailored advice.
