Flash Lightning 40 Volume Complete Maximum Hair Lightening Kit : Good if you want blonde hair, not platinum

Not for use if you want platinum WHITE hair however, I do like this product line. The mixing bowl it comes with is VERY small which makes it hard to effectively mix the product well, so I'd make sure you have your own bowl. Also, I like the brush, but if you have a lot of hair, I'd buy a bigger brush. Being 40Vol you need to work fast. I have long, thick, course, platinum hair. First application, I used 2 boxes on just my roots, let sit for 2 hours, and then washed out. I would not recommend 2hrs but I do not have a sensitive scalp, kept it fully saturated, bag over my head, kept checking it. I then had to use 2 toning masks (1 blue & 1 purple) for several hours each in my hair, & then rebleached my roots with 20vol, higher quality bleach. After that, I "Toned it" with a purple shampoo. & Now 2 weeks later I still have to buy toner for my roots. This is my first time using this bleach kit. Normally I only have to bleach & tone once within a week & I am done. I'm a product junkie so I thought I'd give it a shot! I will admit that to "normal people" they say my hair is white, but anyone who is platinum and picky like me, all you see is yellow LOL I would recommend this product but for VERY small outgrowth, touch ups, for blonde hair results (not white), or use prior to then coloring your hair a fun color :) I also would recommend this if you are someone who has hair that lifts fast (just careful with 40vol) or whose roots are lighter.
