when I was about to be 17 and I had been switching up fun colors on my hair a lot so I had already learned the rules of bleach, my mom thought I should go to a salon for my birthday well I had a monster of a woman at Fantastic Sam's mad because my hair wasn't getting lightened easily she kept saying it was due to my native American hair. so as she failed to do a better job than I could as a teenager in my bathroom she decided to do the 50vol and sure enough my hair broke off in clumps they told me to just be gentle with it and it would be fine! I ended up having to cut everything off and going with a short spiky look. everyone didn't understand it was upsetting to me because I wanted to grow my hair out I wasn't sappose to cut it until after my moon ceremony (it is like a Native American bar mitzvah that's the best way to describe it it is not a party just a introduction to adulthood type of thing ) I was so damn upset!

My mum was a hairdresser back in the day 80s/90s lol she told me they would do a full bleach on scalp with 50vol for 10mins under a hoodnow days they say low and slowback then it was in and out apparently they thought the longer you leave a product on your hair the more damage the 50vol apparently blows the cuticle out thats why everyones platinum hair was short in the 80s and they toned with fanci full blue rinse for the grannys she also told me they used 50 vol for cap hi lights lol cause it got the highlights the cleanest without having to tone. I worked in a salon as a teenager and found an old bottle of 60vol in the store room it wasnt a cream it was a clear liquid and I couldnt believe it existed same story about cap highlights and full bleachs in the 80s

When working on level 4 and darker, sometimes you get a person that just has strong red orange undertones when trying to get to level 10 or 11 theres still a trace. I keep a small bottle of 50 for that and rarely use it. Now that being said Guy Tang lighteners are amazing and I swear lighten better that any other bleach I have every used. Adding a bit of Guy Tang Big 9 has eliminated the need for 50 volume for me. Some old school clients that can spot a warm tone when theres barley a trace or ones that have a color allergy but want white AF lights without the use of a toner needs the big guns.

Id love to see if you could get a nice blonde shade on light brown hair using 50vol with a high lift hair color rather than bleach and if so assess weather it does the same, more or less damage than using a traditional bleach and tone process. I find with a high lift color and 40vol I can almost get there, I can even use it for a nice golden hi-light on some ashy light brown hair but typically theres just a little too much gold left in the hair to go for an all over or heavy hi-light so Id be curious if this might be just enough more oomph.

Put the 50 Vol on black, black very dark hair.
Asian Hair. Transylvanian hair. Latin hair. Black hair.
Literally all the hair that is 4 or less, and then within that dark category you have so many different types of porosity and density, like seriously you make me sad by always bleaching already pale hair. Do it for the culture, Brad.
I have super thin voluminous curly level 4 dark brown going on. this would kiilll the strands. Compare that to someone with coarse level 4.
Thank you, I will be watching.

I think with the 50 you would have to (very quickly) do the mid section all around then run town to ends then go back in for the roots because of the self generated heat from the product also on top of heat from a human head, the ends being exposed to the most air actually wouldnt be as compromised as you would think due to the air cooling and not trapping the heat in as much but the roots would be even more hot than you would normally think because of the double heat action from both your body and the product.

Thank God you said this quicker is better. These young hairdressers are so scared of lightness with high developers. Drives me crazy. Leaning strictly on toners. I can pull my blondes no toner necessary unless I have to bring it back down from white. Normal I can pull at the right tone. Hairdressers need to learn how to read their blondes

I would have really liked to see the bleach rinsed out of both sides when they were the same color. I think it was 30 minutes for 40v and 15 minutes for 50v. The whole point is for a faster process, so having them on for the same amount of time defeats the purpose. Can you get the same amount of lift in less time with similar damage?

In the 70s and early 80s Wella used 60 volume stabalised hydrogen peroxide for their high lift Koleston 300 and Koleston 2000 hair colours. It was called Wellaprox. Also hairdressing wholesalers in the UK used to sell 80 volume peroxide but this may have been for other reasons or for diluting down to lower strengths.

If the mannequins start talking back you really need to ventilate your studio better
I love your videos, I really do. But could you do some videos on anti frizz treatments? As a frizzy, curly haired girl (who really wants straight hair) Id love to see some videos on my options.

I wok at a enviromental lab and we use 105 developer. But that is the pure product. It is to strong to use as hairproduct because within a few seconds you'll get blisters and you'll destroy the skin of your head and you will loose your hair (It won't grow back)

I actually had to research this not too long ago. In the country in which I currently live, developers are sold as 6%, 9% and 12% (I don't think I've seen 15%. In North America I was used to buying 20V and 30V and I was so confused. Now I know to buy 6% and 9% developer.

So we use peroxide to bleach your teeth. Obviously I would never try it. But I wonder if u could technically used the developer to bleach ur teeth. Like probably hurt like hell, maybe even damage ur hair. But wonder if it technically would work.

Bleach and water will work. The volumes are accelerators. Think of it like a car (bleach color etc) a car can go into neutral and roll forward (water and bleach, or straight color on the hair) but 10 to 40v accelerate the process
