The amount of powder bleach and developer you need to lighten hair to a blonde shade depends on several factors:
- Hair Length and Thickness
Short Hair (pixie or above the chin): ~1 scoop (30g) of bleach powder + 60ml (2 oz) of developer.
Medium-Length Hair (shoulder length): ~2 scoops (60g) of bleach powder + 120ml (4 oz) of developer.
Long/Thick Hair (past shoulders): 3+ scoops (90g or more) of bleach powder + 180ml+ (6 oz or more) of developer.
The typical mixing ratio is 1:2 — one part bleach powder to two parts developer — but always check the instructions on your product.
- Developer Strength
20 Volume: Lifts 1–2 levels — good for subtle lightening or already light hair.
30 Volume: Lifts 2–3 levels — ideal for medium brown hair.
40 Volume: Lifts 3–4 levels — only for dark hair and should be used with caution.
Warning: Using 40 vol developer increases the risk of damage. Do strand tests first and don’t leave it on longer than recommended (usually 30–45 mins max).
- Your Starting Color
Dark Brown/Black Hair: You may need multiple bleaching sessions to reach a blonde tone. Space sessions a few weeks apart to avoid damage.
Light Brown/Blonde Hair: One session with 30 vol developer and bleach is often enough to reach pale yellow (the base for blonde tones).
- Toning Afterwards
Bleaching lifts pigment but can leave yellow or orange tones. Use a toner or purple shampoo to neutralize brassy tones and achieve the desired blonde shade.
Pro Tip: Always do a strand test before a full application. Hair can react differently based on its history (previous dyes, damage, etc.).
If you're unsure, consult a professional — bleaching mistakes can be hard (and expensive) to fix.
