In this in-depth hair colour education video, I break down the exact science behind successful lightening and explain why understanding the chemistry of hair is far more important than following social media hacks or industry gimmicks.
You’ll learn:
✓ Why 20 Volume is the “magic number” when lifting dark natural hair and how higher developers can actually work against you
✓ The truth about bleach-to-developer ratios and how mixing consistency directly affects lifting power, moisture retention, and processing performance
✓ Professional application techniques that create more even, predictable blonde results from root to ends
✓ Why incubation can make all the difference during the lifting process and how maintaining optimal conditions impacts performance
✓ The importance of TIME when lightening hair and why patience often delivers better blonde results than stronger developers
✓ How to maximise lift while minimising damage
✓ The biggest mistakes stylists and DIY colourists make when taking dark hair blonde
This isn’t another “watch me transform dark hair blonde” video. It’s a science-based breakdown of exactly WHY certain techniques work, helping you understand the principles behind successful lightening so you can achieve better results consistently.
Whether you’re a professional hairdresser, colour specialist, salon apprentice, DIY’er, hair educator, or someone passionate about hair colour science, this video will give you a deeper understanding of how to lift dark natural hair to blonde with confidence.

To prevent brassiness, I use a blue shampoo once a week and apply a violet toning mousse weekly to keep the colour cool, balanced, and fresh-looking.
I'm about 85% gray ( virgin ), my curl types vary somewhat.
Thought I'd have a little fun using a 3 in 1 color depositing shampoo by Punky Color. I was sooo sure I'd be safe using the color ( metaluminous ).
The metal color has turned to a darkened blueish gray that refuses to budge since last year. I'm sure my hair being porous isn't helping.
Tried ION color remover and it was a waste of seven dollars and my patience. Now I have about four inches of rusty looking mid sections.
My gray ( was ) so beautiful and I ruined it believing this garbage would eventually come out.
I ordered Blondeme 9+ along with it's 20v developer ( and for good measure purchased Blondme hair mask ).
There's no way I can afford a professional but I'm so darn determined to get ( both of these colors out now ).
Sorry for the rant. Keep up the great work Craig 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I agree with your view on peroxide. I've experimented a lot with hair colour and though I can't say bleach has ever been good for my hair the only time it got shredded was when I unknowingly used one with 30 volume peroxide. Iirc it was labelled as a high lift hair colour (I think it said up to seven or eight levels) but I should have been clued in by the need to add blue powder in the mix. For some reason I didn't realize that meant bleach but the damage was so bad and so unexpected-worse than I'd ever gotten even with bleach and 20 volume, never mind permanent colour-that I called their customer service line to report my results and after some hemming and hawing I was told the peroxide included was 30 volume. I never would have used it if I knew and wonder why it wasn't spelled out on the box. Watching your videos has made me much more curious about what's in the hair products I use so thanks for that aspect as well.
Are you saying that you should add something else to the bleach for bond protection, or just other products in your hair routine?
