Trying ION Bright White Creme Lightener

[@shandrabrooks6431]

This is my go to lightener. One round and my dark blonde/light brown hair with natural red undertones lifts me to a white blonde which is perfect for the bright colors I prefer. I do a 1:1 as the 2:1 leaves me really brassy.

[@beetlejuice-qh1yx]

EVERYONES HAIR LIFTS WARM LMAO. i hate when people say this retarded shit

[@TristinVerret]

Wym by that

[@Magicwithizz]

@@TristinVerretbrassy means that the orangey tones under darker hair show up after the hair is bleached.

[@byrdieprey2590]

​@TristinVerret 1:1 means 1 part developer to 1 part lightener. 2:1 means 2 parts developer to 1 part lightened which won't lightened your hair as much but also won't damage it as much. You might be better off (in my NON-PROFESSIONAL opinion) doing a 1:1 ration if you aren't doing on the scalp.

[@zaria4627]

wait so is lightener bleach?? pleasee help im dying my hair rn

[@4somethingmore]

Cream lightener is formulated to be more gentle. You will not get the kind of lift you were looking for without using a stronger volume.

[@uramisugi]

I been waiting on this one!! i used this exact lightener a month ago for my first bleach job because i was advised against harsher powders on my buzzed 4c hair/sensitive scalp and it came out SO WELL! used 30 volume developer with a 1:2 ratio, rinsed out with minimal damage, ended up lifting to like level 9 first pass so i didn't have to use a toner and when i went straight in with red dye it all came out incredibly vibrant and is lasting me ages! highly recommend this bleach if you are a poc looking for a lightener that won't kill your hair 🙏

[@libnabarron6000]

Thank you!

[@ByHerHand]

The pale pale remnants of pink and blue makes your hair look like a white opal. Beautiful.

[@TheSim1derful]

I've been doing my own hair white since 2018 and this bleach is by far my fave from Sally's! The Blondeme is my favourite, but as far as non-salon stuff goes this is it. Gives me a ton of lift (not quite as much as the Blondeme though) and doesn't fry my hair like Quickblue or something like that

[@TheSim1derful]

It DOES swell a lot though

[@Barneyjo]

Comparison to Guy - Tang my identity # big 9 ?

[@TheSim1derful]

@@Barneyjo I've actually never tried guy tang but my old hairstylist says it's great and you get a lot of lift without overly frying your hair

[@Birdmomma86]

This is my favorite bleach!! I always use this, especially with the ion version of olaplex. My hair always feels so healthy after using it 🙂

[@thekatprincess]

What is the ion version of olaplex?? 🙏🏽🥺

[@teyarose]

i got the most growth (minimal breakage) when i bleached my roots at half an inch (so twice a month for me since my hair grows fast). any longer than that and it was better to just wait a few months because i would end up with banding and breakage. i got my natural level 2 hair to platinum and about 36 inches long. it was very healthy (read: looked shiny and felt soft) up until the point that i got too depressed to take care of it 🙃but that wasn't the bleach's fault. honestly impressed you didn't just say fuck it and let your roots grow out again. that length is SO annoying to bleach. you did such a great job.

[@deenaaly7964]

Hiiiii! Im born and raised a New Yorker and I have lived in the Caribbean for 12 years (and many more to come). I LIVE FOR palm tree Christmases! I do miss fall fashion but some of us LOVE being warm, humid and FRIZZY year round. Different strokes for different folks. Love living vicariously though other people's 4-season experiences so keep us beach people updated ❤

[@ellaleesvloggies1203]

I work at Sally’s and this is my #1 and I will always recommend this so a first timer

[@AbbyESeaney2589]

I love this bleach, only one I use with 20 volume developer. My natural hair color is ash brown black and lifts so easily. I cover it with cap and it comes out pale yellow almost white. LOVE IT!

[@b_r_a_n]

i love how you give every product you try a fair shot, you're a legend aislinn!♥️

[@JourneyAlee]

This is the first time I've seen this application technique for bleach, and it's a stroke of genius!

[@reb3578]

I live in New Zealand where we definitely have four seasons, but Christmas is in Summer. It'd be so weird having a winter Christmas! Christmas and New Years is when you get a couple of weeks off work, go camping, drink ice cold wine and beer, and barbecues every night. Bliss!!

[@nicksavage1212]

this lightener is the first and the only lightener I have and will ever use. The first time I lightened my hair (or more like mom) my hair went from brown (like level 4) to level 9. like what!!!

[@amv2471]

16:22 I feel you I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and I can’t stand the heat and the green all year long ! I love my seasons . Thanks for your tutorials and videos I love them ♥️

[@AmoursAsmr]

Wella blondor does not swell at all and is so gentle. With a creamy consistency You should so try it. If I ever get any breakage on my clients it's with the schwarzkopf blonde me. I'd love to see you try Wella. Also in my experience 50 mins is not that long to leave bleach especially for a cream lighter. The blonde me is very aggressive 9 level lift bleach and that's why it works fast. 💪

[@sunshiinedesu]

I love this ASMR channel of this girl that deeply restores broken/expensive/rare makeup palettes its sooo good

[@DragonStormGoddess]

Omg, what you were saying about the seasons and needing all 4 and how Halloween and Xmas just aren’t the same!!100% how I’ve been feeling the pst couple years! I’m from Kansas City, we very drastically get all 4 seasons there, for a couple reasons I’ve had to live with my mom in North Carolina the past couple years and my mom has loved it here because she doesn’t like cold weather, whereas for me- I like spring and summer, mostly for the epic Midwest storms, long rainy days, and being able to swim and such, but I am a fall baby, I also hate hot weather in general, and fall and winter are my favorite my favorite seasons. I have never fully understood seasonal depression until I moved out here to NC. I miss my frosty cold weather so bad, and the holidays really just don’t feel the same at all, I want to enjoy fires and hot cocoa, etc. I would rather suffer hot humid Midwest summers than skip over nice chilly, dreary fall and winter right on to spring

[@The_Salty_Siren]

Blonde Me is IT - your hair still looks nice & blonde tho at least the top looks like the perfect base. Can’t wait to see what rainbow creation you do for Pride - Love you Aislinn! Enjoy your pride events doll! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 🌈

[@bethdavisjimenez]

I can't wait to see you dothe rainbow hair! I do love that hint of mint and pink pastel. That would make a great mermaid hair look maybe add lavender with pink and mint

[@julessanderson3295]

i lowkey love the lighting without the big lights on, i know you did it to stop the glare but i like it

[@Jaylin-b5u]

Okay but I need a eyeshadow tutorial asap it’s gorgeous

[@lmg7179]

This is the ONLY bleach i use when i do my friends hair. It is fantastic, i always can get her regrowth to a level 10. I use the 1:2 ratio with 20 vol, layer it on super thick, leave on for 40 minutes, and then do an all over bleach bath, shampoo & rinse out after 6-8 minutes, apply t18 and its gorgeous white blonde every time

[@FullxMoonxMelody]

Thanks so much for sharing the results. I'll stick with schwarzkopf ❤😊

[@NaomiR51]

I started using schwarzkopf blond me like 2 years ago because of your videos and I love it. Did 2 rounds of bleach and 1 bleach bath with it last week and I barely any hairloss I was so suprised

[@Hellrizzor]

Which blondeme do you use? I can't seem to find it

[@kayylou3397]

YES. Living in Florida was absolutely awful for holiday season. I couldn't do it so when I went back north and I started seeing snow and feeling that cold I was in a happier mind set.

[@afroborilafemme]

I actually love the lighting and camera angle when you started bleaching. ❤

[@kamerynbrewer4062]

I have def tried a TON of lighteners and this one does the trick! I will say though, it’s always super damaging. It lifts QUICKLY, even with 1:2 so you def have to know what you’re doing.

[@FenixDragon43]

It's funny you posted this, cause I JUST bought this lightener yesterday. Wanted to try a cream lightener since working with powder can be a bit annoying. Personally loved it, it got my roots WHITE blonde and had zero breakage on the ends of my hair (unlike last time I bleached..)

[@Babigh0ulll]

My most favorite bleach tbh, I naturally have almost black asian hair and this bleach lifts the most Always use it for my roots

[@JuliaTheCrazyChica]

I saw a technique were people are pre sectioning every slice of hair and securing it with micro bands or little clips to speed up their application, I feel like this may be something to try!

[@rttnmlk9013]

Your process in this video is how I always do my hair. I start at the top and work my way back, leaving out the entire perimeter of my head. Once I’m done all around, then I do my hair line all around my head (the nape and front hairline

[@janna_banana]

yayyy ! this has been my go to lightener ! I recently used something else bc i ran out of this and oof, big mistake. never gonna stray from ion lightener again lol

[@heatherhowe351]

I've recently been wowed by highlift colours which lighten then deposit tone - so much easier and gentler than bleach and half the time . Wella seems the best so far but schwarzkopf is also good . Give it a try ❤

[@dianawylie9244]

Try ultra bond creme lightener next time! It’s even better :) not much more expensive either, plus they have a creme bleach that has bonding component’s in it! It’s sold at Sally’s idk where else

[@ChaiLatte13]

The weather in my area has been the same. It was shocking that we had no rain for weeks. I was dying in the heat and am so glad it's been rainy and gloomy. I think you totally could do ASMR.

[@autumnlynn57]

This by far is my favorite bleach. Only one I will use.

[@AnonComb]

actually the picture of the instructions on the back is SO helpful like,, thank you

[@dirtygrubbygoblingirl]

Its funny you mention ASMR because as Im watching this right now, I was falling asleep because your voice is soothing!

[@AkaAislinn]

Awe thank you ☺️

[@NatashaGraves555]

I love creme Lightners especially if you are bleaching yourself 😊😊

[@nacereddinechallal4405]

I dont use tiktok but on KZbin i just get blackhead removal vids 😅 . Idk why but it calms me down like nothing else . Whenever i am stressed/mad/sad i just watch them and my mind just freeze somehow ; all the thoughts stop 😂

[@CourtneyS1978]

I recommend the Nutresse treatment from Sally instead of the Ion or Aphogee treatments. Nutresse does protein AND moisture in one treatment.

[@cinemageek22]

I was using the L’Oréal quick blue and wasn’t getting as light as I’d like. I decided to try this one and was pleased with the results! But I think I only have 3 or 4 levels to lift.

[@sopossiblelife]

I use this one all the time. I wish Schwarzkopf was cruelty free, I would love to try it after hearing how well it does for you!

[@bbridanielle]

This is my favorite lightener idk why but it’s literally the best one I’ve ever used

[@MsKaska91]

This is the only bleach I use unless I’m doing a bleach wash then it’s a Wella powder.

[@NatashaGraves555]

SAMEEEEEEE

[@nova-ui2bz]

Try the age beautiful bond bleach, also cover your pre lightened midshaft to ends with a deep conditioner to protect from further damage when rinsing the roots out

[@urfavsh1teditor]

Yh its a little yellow but still fab. RAINBOW IS ON THE WAY BABY 🌈 💕 😍

[@janeg6759]

This is the only bleach I've been using for the past few years. I'm pretty sure I have the same hair color as you but with some grey. I use sensitive scalp 30 vol developer and the ion bond builder Olaplex dupe and it works great but still a little more yellow than I like, but I also rinse too soon out of fear. When I go to the salon to get my hair cut they always say how healthy my hair is for being bleached. I've been wanting to try the Schwartzkopf Blonde Me but $$ and I have a Sally's credit card. Thanks for trying it. I love your videos. ❤

[@KniteWolfe13]

Ion also makes a charcoal lightener. It's pretty new. And I love that one.

[@LilithixPlays]

I've never noticed the barbed wire tattoos across Aislinn's knuckles I absolutely LOVE them 🖤🖤🖤

[@cosmosk8s]

Clear and 20 vol starting at the back would be a great way of getting that extra little lift without as much damage

[@jaimejohnesee]

Tanisha's "I didn't get no sleep cos of y'all! Y'all ain't never gonna sleep cos of me" had me rolling back then. 😂

[@kristinatodorovic2398]

YES!!!!!!!! LOL

[@sarahdon3165]

Thanks sweetie ❤️ I always start with the front of my hair when doing my roots especially as the left part of my head at the front just never lightens as well as everywhere else on my head. I think after watching your review I will stick with my normal routine as well rather than trying the crème I don’t think it would lift my hair enough ❤xxx

[@jennthelen4721]

Can't wait to see the black and neon rainbow!! 🌈🌈🌈

[@antlelauralee]

I’ve been doing my brothers hair and sister in law for a year or two and we always use this. Its reliable and no powder 💪🏻

[@rammon147]

Have you tried bleaching it sooner so you don’t have to wait so long for it to process. With your natural base color i would Recomend every 6 weeks. It will help with the damage.

[@boybble]

I also just used this to do highlights on my sister! 😂 I feel like it left her hair pretty dry also, and she never does anything to hers like I do to mine. It at least lifted very nicely so I was thankful for that!

[@michellew97]

This is my preferred bleach. Works best at getting the orange tones out of my hair!

[@shelbyheaser8804]

Best base for your rainbow!! I can’t wait to see the pattern! Hopefully the yellow doesn’t look so bright when it’s fully dry

[@MsLadyshooter0604]

Tubi is completely free and has all the seasons of BGC!!!

[@AkaAislinn]

Ooo I’ll have to check that out 🥰

[@justrees4929]

Tubi is awesome, especially for old obscure movies and TV shows 💜👍

[@jamieolson5804]

Love love love this lightener! I don’t use anything else after trying this in April 2022. No matter how much I accidentally overlap I barely lose any hair. I do use Ion step one booster as well.

[@homewithmamafox]

What developer do you use with it?

[@bloodanddesire]

I've been using this bleach for awhile. I buy it with the matching 20v developer. It serves my needs, my natural hair is mostly white with some greyish brown areas. It definitely does swell a lot though, you are right. I have also used BlondeMe which is amazing stuff.

[@Jo_Alien]

I’ve been absolutely loving this bleach for how cheap it is and how long it goes! I use it with the ion booster and my hair is soft when I rinse it out!

[@tarakennedy707]

I used to swear by the Ion creme but I've switched to the oil lightener because less damage. I love that you brought up BGC 🤣 The other day I came across the newer version "Baddies" and some of those girls that were pushing 30 back then are still doing the same thing but worse. They're moms now too 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@L.Lavender]

Oil lightener?

[@michellew179]

I just googled “oil lightener” and it’s from Ion brand

[@gayesterbaby]

I can't find hardly any reviews of the oil version (and what i can find arent saying its great) so if you dont mind me asking, what is it that makes the oil one more gentle than this one, with all of the sensitive scalp developers? I'm having a difficult time deciding myself and im curious

[@nicole_kittykat3132]

I really appreciate you explaining what code orange is instead of being like "if you don't know then you aren't part of the community 💁" and being all gatekeepy

[@gyrlchele]

I love you!! This may sound crazy but I talk to you when you talk to the camera!! I really want to dye my hair and I keep watching you to know what’s the best to get!!

[@AkaAislinn]

I love that!! 🥰 besties on FaceTime 🖤

[@kendeldixon6944]

I used this with the ion sensitive scalp developer and loved it.

[@StaceFaceKilluh36]

Personally I find that this product works better with a 1:1 ratio

[@madelame_]

this IS my go to bleach, but it definitely is just tooooo strong for my fine, level 7/8 hair (like yours!) and even with 15 vol, it friiiiies my hair. i have to be SO careful when i retouch my roots cuz this bleach is so strong

[@serenavanbeusekom7996]

Cross checking was the best tip😊 thank you!

[@Labyrinth37]

You should try the Framesi Decolor B Cream Plus bleach or their Infinity+, they’re the best bleaches I’ve ever used. I had never tried them until this year, my hair has NEVER felt so good after a bleaching session, it’s amazing

[@HOT8CHOCOLAT3]

Ppl that say “don’t use the rat tail (metal)” probably don’t know how to part properly. It’s not supposed to scrape across the scalp. Even when us braiders part, it looks rough but clients can’t even feel it. They’re probably scratching their scalp instead of moving slowly and gently like you’re doing.

[@kathleen_ryan]

I know everyone raves about this bleach, but I struggled with it. I thought it was going to be easier to work with, and that it wouldn't dry out because of the cream, but it dried faster than the Wella that I typicaly use, and got flaky.

[@nicoleee333]

I just touched up my roots with this a couple days ago. My hair is still soft even though I totally overlapped lol and even my roots are basically a level 10 now and I only left it on like 25 minutes

[@Malcopme]

I used to use this bleach exclusively, but I just got a thing of Blond Me that I'm super excited to try!

[@jackiebeebe5834]

I start in the back because its’s the hardest and I like to get it out of the way. Also I think my front hair gets in the way so it’s better for me to start in the back.

[@dianegoodreads]

It’s funny. Last weekend I ran out of Schwarzkopf and used Ion Crème. My hair was bright banana yellow. I wish Sally’s carried Schwarzkopf.

[@carbonwildflower]

You could try permanent with clear to get rid of the pink ❤

[@0rangepalmtree]

[@adventuresamNfam]

[@wolfsf2012]

Yay! I love this bleach! I wish they’d have a bigger tube thingy but it last for a while

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Seriously, that Framar brush and their bowls with the comb section on the edge to help get the excess color out of the brush are my new favorite things! I will never buy cheap ass brushes and bowls again!😅

[@robynwroot2460]

Totally my go to. Surprised it didn't go white

[@KellyeR1970]

I love cream lightner I use the Zotos one with bonder from Sally's but have used this one too, but love the Zotos one the best because I literally get almost no damage. Even though Im a natural level 8 I use 30v on my roots it takes only 20 mins to get to the lightest pale yellow. You should try the Zotos one if you haven't tried it.

[@toxic_gin]

We already got code orange early girl! Feeling you with the h'ween and the rain

[@tonyagotham2015]

I have wanted to try this one bleach and I definitely will. I've been using Blonde Brilliant it lifts up to 9 levels and I have super dark brown hair. I also use 30 vol sensitive scalp developer. It comes out perfect. But I absolutely love Ion products

[@StargazingDragon]

Ions dust free powder bleach is preferable to their creme in my personal opinion but the creme will get you where your going. A lot of the time I'm too impatient to ship hair stuff lol so I'm limited to whatever my closest Sally's has

[@leggi_bois4eva]

Fresh roots are the *best* 🌈🖤🌈🖤

[@Star-s5e3e]

Use a 30 vol or 30vol/40vol mix . "Pat Wallace" did it and it looked more icy like you want 😉

[@amandaweaver5964]

I recently tried this bleach and it worked really really well but I don't know if it would become my go to lightner either. Currently I have red and pink in my hair so the brassy tones are hidden but you are correct! I felt like the product swelled do badly and I was so scared as to what was going on.

[@carbonwildflower]

Apparently the wella blondor lightner doesn’t expand at all

[@purpleivy9174]

I love that bleach as well, but nothing beats Blonde Me. You bleached your roots about 3 months ago. You were going on a girls trip.

[@shantellcox7345]

The lava lamp looks like flubber 😅 i love it

[@TheAlexstiles]

Still looks great! Maybe mix up a fresh batch of bleach for the back of the head so it’s not as fluffy and oxidized yet? It might lift better too. Can’t wait to see the finished rainbow masterpiece. Keep up the great work! ✨💕🌈🫧

[@jovanajohanna]

Funny that you're mentioning ASMR and how you're not into doing it and inadvertently, according to me, you've been doing just that all along! I'm saying this because I'm using your videos to fall asleep - there's something about your speech rhythm and repeated hair-dyeing motions that put me in hypnosis almost and allows me to fall asleep quicker.
