BW2+ Dedusted Extra Strength Powder Lightener for Hair Highlights, 8 oz.

First time using this bleach but finally had a positive experience doing some baby lights on a closure. Admittedly maybe the hair was easier to bleach as some just tend to turn brassy no matter how many times you bleach. It’s the first white bleach I’ve tried and I used it with the 20vol clairol bleach and did it twice for the result then toned with some box dyes. I think it would be ideal if it came in bigger packs or the tubs that I commonly see online. Luckily I bought 3 packets but I used them all just on one 2x6 closure. Other than that I’m quite happy with the purchase.

J’ai les cheveux noirs avec du rouge en dessous, donc vraiment le plus difficile à éclaircir. Après une seule utilisation, mes cheveux étaient déjà d’un jaune-orangé plutôt pâle, ce qui est le meilleur résultat que j’ai obtenu jusqu’à présent. La poudre est facile à mélanger et à appliquer, et elle agir rapidement sans abîmer excessivement mes cheveux. Je la recommande vivement pour les cheveux foncés qui ont besoin d’une décoloration efficace.

Worked very well and lifted evenly, even mixed at a 1:3 ratio. My hair was box dyed brown (but appeared black) and after ColorOops didn’t budge it, I turned to bleach so I could correct to a lighter shade. Keep in mind, it lifted the dark color much quicker than I anticipated. I went from a level 3 to a level 9 in about 12 minutes, even at the diluted ratio. So the “extra strength” is legit. 😂 There was minimal damage to my hair. Just make sure to keep a close watch on how quickly it’s lifting. I had expected it to take much longer, since years ago it took a good 50 minutes to get my hair the same level of lift. If I hadn’t checked it early when I did, the outcome could have been bad.

I’ve used the Clairol BW2 Powder Lightener multiple times, and overall, it’s a solid choice for hair bleaching. It lifts color effectively and works quickly, especially when paired with a 30 or 40 volume developer. The powder is fine and mixes well, creating a smooth consistency that’s easy to apply. One of the standout features is its strength—this bleach is powerful, so it’s great for achieving high lift results. However, that also means it can be a bit harsh. I’d recommend doing a strand test first, especially if you have a sensitive scalp. The smell is strong, like most bleach powders, so good ventilation is a must. A little goes a long way, making it cost-effective, and I appreciate that it doesn’t dry out too fast during application. That being said, timing is crucial—leaving it on too long can cause dryness or damage. I always follow up with a deep conditioner to keep my hair healthy. Overall, BW2 is a reliable and affordable option for bleaching, whether you’re doing a full lift or just highlights. Just be cautious with processing time and always use proper hair care afterward.

Too expensive for such a small packet. Very disappointed
