This is a very interesting topic, A subject that I have read a lot about recently on social media and various other platforms, low and slow VS Fast and Furious for those of you that are not aware of the differences are low and slow process this is where you use a low-level peroxide and develop it for generally a lot longer than manufacturers guidelines, the premise is that you expose less undertone and you retain the condition where is Fast and Furious is following the manufacturers guidelines. I genuinely don’t have a specific preference for either technique I totally understand how they both work I have used them both many times I think it’s about understanding the difference hopefully in this video I will help explain the differences.

@shockalockabocka 5 лет назад

I think rules like this from American and European stylists are good guidelines for their target market audience - Caucasian, normal to fine hair. But I do a lot of Asian hair with a tight, resistant cuticle and if I did low and slow I’d have a lot of unwanted redheads walking around or really long processing times. I think stylists need to use common sense and our knowledge of texture, porosity, density and starting level to determine formulas.

@TalkingCheeseBurgerr 3 года назад

Tbh the "Pale yellow" 40 v. looks like a level 8. The hair seems very resistant too. Asian hair tends to have thick individual strands (of course there are exceptions). Also there's other factors like is it porous, virgin hair, do they tend to use heat? etc. This is why a lot of hairstylist turn away bleach jobs especially if you had color of any kind previously. I personally got turned away by over 5 salons in my area and I had virgin hair. They just don't want to be set up for failure and it will make their reputation look bad.

@charnith5017 4 года назад

@lilatolouian 3 года назад

Absolutely LOVE this!!! I have super dark, thick, hair, about a level 3 SUPER DARK, and my stylist ALWAYS starts my highlights at 30vol so by the time she's halfway done, it's already been awhile, and she moves up to the 40vol so that my highlights will be even. But even with 40vol dev, we leave the foils in for at LEAST 2 hours total (sometimes longer) and will still need to repeat the highlights after 2 weeks because they just don't lift high enough.. damage is pretty minimal, though I do trim my hair every 4-6 weeks a tiny bit, and only wash about twice a week, and don't use any heat for styling anymore, plus sleep with a silk pillowcase, use a silicone mix leave in treatment often, and argan oil on the ends regularly. But usually the second round of bleach w/ 40vol, the worst that happens is some hair breaks off the first couple weeks, since I have super thick hair, I don't mind it at all, plus it gives me a textured hair cut lol. But yeah, when I tell people I use 40 vol for my bleach, they are like, "NOOO do LOW AND SLOW!" I'm like, but duuuude, I use HIGH and slow, I'm not using the high volumes for faster lift... I'm doing it for a HIGHER lift, and still have to leave it on as long as others would with a 20 vol.

@TheLifeOfHair 3 года назад

@0blivvy8 Год назад

So interesting! I love how informative your videos are. I watch a stylist who advocates for low and slow, but he does say to check frequently and don't leave on longer than the manufacturer's guidelines. He says it's better to do 2 rounds of low vol. rather than 1 round of high vol. left on too long. He's also said that the low vol. developers tend to cancel out more orange and yellow tones. Has anyone noticed this? The 10 vol. here came out beautiful without even toning!

Superb Jason quick heads up though be very cautious of using powerful 40 volume on your scalp Most manufacturers don’t recommend it so proceed with caution if you’re going to use 40 volume sometimes if you want to clean the slightest results it’s better to use a lower volume and beat your hair twice but again beating your head twice can be treacherous so always be careful 👍🏻

You do the most interesting experiments. This was very enlightening for me. I do wish we could have done a damage assessment on each one after but I'm thinking that an Olaplex treatment afterwards along with good hair care could probably take care of any damage on typical hair. Thanks, James!

@Corrans Год назад

Olaplex doesn't actually reverse damage, only "masks" it, in my humble opinion. I say that as someone who has bleached her hair many times and had a lot of damage. Once the hair is damaged, nothing truly fixes it.

@TheLifeOfHair 4 года назад

No I didn’t doing the Elasticity test on them afterwards the hair was so strong Asian hair normally is, Yes one thing I will say though is that they were air processed so you would’ve got more lift had to have been covered by a foil so it’s a good gauge of what you might get from the scalp breach if you were going to do something like that with that type of hair but not a good gauge if you were looking to do highlights. Hope that makes sense 😁👍🏻

The hydrogen gas is what makes the higher developer lighten the hair faster. It appears to be working faster as there is a fast paced lifting stage when it is lifting however it slows down not long after because the percentage is higher. This would absolutely work for an expert when they are relying on little time however it can be dangerous to strip colour out of the Cortex to a high level very quickly if the hair is in any way compromised or has limitations to begin with. I loved your analysis and I think your are very articulate within your narration when delivering video content. Great work! 🙂

I used 30 volume in my bleaching mixture. I left the bleach on for 70 minutes. My hair turned almost white....and I had NO damage to my hair or scalp. I have dark brown/black hair. I only needed to process once to achieve almost white. Dark brown/black has should process for 60-70 minutes per manufacturers instructions, from the company. Medium to light blonde takes 20-25 minutes, light brown to dark blonde take 30-40 minutes, dark blonde to medium brown takes 45-60 minutes. And NEVER use hair dryers as a catalyst to bleach hair. Cover hair with cap, your head's natural heat is the perfect, consistent way to accelerate hair bleach. Never do more then 2-2 bleach processing of hair, as you will destroy your hair and scalp. Chemical hair processors...perms, dyes, bleaching absorbs into the scalp then into the blood stream...that is why you NEVER massage chemicals into the scalp. All hair stylists should be required to take a college cosmetology chemistry course to be certified to use chemicals on client's hair. I am an RN who took 4 chemistry courses in college and those course helped me to understand how "peroxide & bleach & perm solutions" work on our hair. You also, have to take in consideration a client's hair texture, skin tone & pigmentation, as those will tell you what volume of developer you should use and how to prevent dark hair from turning orange after bleaching.

@bluebird1694 4 года назад

If I remember correctly, Manic panic's bleach says it can process for 90 minutes maximum. I also agree that extra heat shouldn't be used because it opens the cuticle a bit too much while already having a strong chemical on it.

@RobertoRiosbiz 3 года назад

When I went to cosmetology school in NJ we learned chemistry,the circulatory system,the muscular system,the skeletal system,bacteriology,the structure of the hair, the structure of the skin,porosity of the skin and hair and nail bed and the and the structure of finger and toe nails. When my friends saw my textbooks they couldn’t believe that we had to learn so much to be able to do hair. Every state has different requirements there are some countries where you don’t even go to cosmetology school you do an internship for three or four years before you are allowed to cut hair. I went to cosmetology school plus I didn’t internship at a very high end salon in NYC. My internship required me to bring in models one or two times a week and to be instructed by by senior stylist on how to cut and color hair properly. All top salons in New York City that you read about in magazine require that you do an internship. I feel the hairdressing courses could be better they should add marketing,customer service, psychology and add a business course to the curriculum.Vidal Sassoon took acting courses to learn how to speak properly to be able to communicate with a high end clientele.

The side by side comparison is really helpful! I lean towards low and slow on new clients with fine or curly hair, but for the most part I stick with 30, sometimes with a splash of 40. Many of my lightening clients involve additional processes, so I don’t want to spend too much time waiting for lift. I like to get in and out with the bleach and move on. That being said, maintaining the integrity of the hair is always the top priority.

@Mi.123mi 4 года назад

Nice video, so since the process time matters for the damage, what about those additional bonding substances like olaplex, matrix bond untim8, etc. Do they really help cut on the damage?

@gloriamejia4308 4 года назад

You should do a video of which causes the least damage on brassy hair

@TheLifeOfHair 4 года назад

I can sure add it to my list 👍🏻

@DisbyComics 4 года назад

Good experiment. I'd like to see one regarding activator lotion and liquid lighteners, on boxed dyed dark blind ash or black dye over blond. Cheers!

@TheLifeOfHair 4 года назад

Hi Dawn thank you for the comment yes I will add it to my list of experiments I would like to do in the future

@XXgenderloveXY 3 года назад

Please please could you do a video on virgin hair that is light to begin with (like a dark blond/light brown), that does not lift easily? And the process one should do to get it to lift?

@branimirmomcilov7575 4 года назад

Tnx. for great video! High volume is fine for open air. In foils higher vol. generate higher temperature. I prefer low&slow in foils, strandlights, platinum card... Saturation is also very important part.

@TheLifeOfHair 4 года назад

Absolutely saturation is king when it comes to bleaching you’re dead right and full techniques invariably always go over manufacturers guidelines for processing so low and it a great idea with foils 😁👍🏻

@branimirmomcilov7575 4 года назад

@@TheLifeOfHair, I have a lot of Caucasian hair type clients. Very hard to achieve clean lvl. 10. After many options, low&slow, thin sections and high saturation gives me best results. High vol. of peroxide and rich saturation in foils almost always cause bleeding. For open air and warm tone, high vol. of peroxide is ok. Sorry for my broken English! :)

@mcmax1128 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this information! I'm about to bleach my friend's hair and I'm pretty excited, I hope it turns out well even though I have bleached my own hair before, new sub from Mexico 🇲🇽😉 One quick question, if his hair is a natural (virgin) level 4 and he wants bright neon pink hair, should I lift to a level 9/10 or can I work with a level 8 as well? Hope you have a lot of success, you really deserve a lot of subs

@TheLifeOfHair 4 года назад

Superb I hope it turned out well?! I Thanks for the Sub. For neon pink hair I would say we need to get it closer to 9/10 rather that 8 However you don’t really need it to be a 10, I recommend neutralising the hair with a violet colour before you apply the pink to have the most neutral platform to apply your pink too 👍🏻

@RaphaelaPareto 3 года назад

I do have black asian hair and when I went to to my hair stylist (to get a purple hair), she used different volumes in different parts of my hair... but from what I heard her talking to the assistant, she used 10, 20 and 30v... It took more than two hours to lift until a pale yellow, but I felt basically no damage afterwards... I mean, really back in the past I did have a perm and the hair felt more dried on those days than recently, after bleaching... Olaplex miracles, maybe?

@TheLifeOfHair 3 года назад

Very interesting well it sounds like you have a very conscientious hairstylist and yes Olaplex will go along way to stopping the hair feeling dry

@melisakelly2375 2 года назад

@karmasystem3625 5 лет назад

James thanks this is great ! Our karma System has turned this on its head With our intelligent developers we can lift 3 to 4 shades in 12 to 15 mins without compromising the hair in any way. We have no fears of damaging the hair whatsoever. Yes ... it sounds hard to believe!!! Great video

@TheLifeOfHair 5 лет назад

sounds amazing i would love to trial it .

@bluebird1694 4 года назад

Could you repeat this experiment but in reverse, using a dark permanent hair color on the bleached strands and compare how fast the different developers activate/oxidize the color at each level?

@bellakwt1 2 года назад

Ok this time, you said leave a comment! Umm my comment is I love you and I love your vids, and next time am in UK I will definitly come to you to do my so Arab dark hair ☺️

@StrengthFaith 2 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm no professional but I colour my hair alot at home I never use box dyes/bleach etc. I always buy professional products but for a long time I always thought the lower developer % = less damage but now from watching this video I now know that is not true. Thank you I've been learning a lot from your videos 👍

@TheLifeOfHair 2 года назад

Wonderful Kerry pleased you got something from it

@migwigpee0796 4 года назад

Pale golden yellow when it’s full on brown orange 💀💀

@CS-yr5jr 4 года назад

Your final results were 10 vol = 6, 20 vol = 7 and 6, 30 vol = true 7, and 40 vol = pretty close to 8. Check your redken color chart. It’s a lifesaver when it comes to lightening and toning. Good message about following manufacturers directions. Always a must. Period.

@bperez8656 9 дней назад

Does 10 vol cause the least hair damage ?

@shaunie57 5 лет назад

Hi James. Thank you for making this interesting video. I once worked in a salon where the owner and her junior stylists always used 60 vol YES 60vol! with bleach to lift her cap hi lights to pale yellow quickly, this method fitted in with her busy column. I was always terrified of the damage being caused, and the integrity of the hair after the colour service. I now only use 40 vol with high lift tints and use 30 vol max with bleach. The trouble is in a busy salon setting you don't have dream time to do the low and slow method then reapply another application after. I like how the Japanese and Korean salons have 2 stylists applying the product, which saves time and ensures of an even application. I used to work a lot with Scruples products which aren't well known here in the UK. They do an excellent hi lighting colour system called Blazing Hair. You only use 20 vol max even on very dark hair and you add the colour tone into the lightener so it lifts and tones all in one, a bit like Wella Magma but more of a true tone. I've always been scared of colour, when I was training you focused more on technique rather than the technical side. Salons need to ensure up and coming stylists understand the technical side of colour as well as the techniques used to get the desired results. Regards Shaun

@TheLifeOfHair 5 лет назад

Ah Men’s Shaun, I have used Scruples I know exactly what you are talking about they have some very interesting products. Thanks for you comment 😁👍🏻

@theresanelson9666 3 года назад

Enjoy watching your videos and have learned quite a bit. I would still much rather have my hairdresser do this than myself, but since the Covid has put a limit on getting our hair done I’m almost forced to try this myself. Now I am not a hairdresser by no means, but I’m getting older my hair is naturally auburn and the older I get the lighter it gets, and of course getting gray. so I would like to get ahead of this and put some highlights in my hair. I am scared to death so I have been looking at professional hair videos to get an idea on how to do this, kind of like buying a car! get the facts before you take it out. So my question is... hair dyes and highlights that you get from a store are definitely not equivalent to the ones that you purchase online from professionals. What would be their ratio per box high or low the 10% that you showed in this video? And in order to lighten my hair without getting a orange or brassy look what would I use? Thanks again for the video and I understand if you cannot comment on this. But a thumbs up at least if you read it would be nice thanks again

Looked like my daughter's science fair project...lol. Love trying things out like this. Personally I like fast because I get so stuck in a strong gold stage. Green eyed girl here. Being a level 6 I still need two process to get to plae yellow and I like the texture it gives me. I remember when flat irons came out we were cooking the foils in the irons🙊🙄🤐 Thanks James!!

Oh and I’m doing baby lights for lightening and in between my foils low lighting with 6gn and 6t equal parts for that ugly underline pigment w/o diluting. Would you suggest that or something else?

@TheLifeOfHair 4 года назад

Yes providing that your undertone is orange on the colour that you are trying to cover with the 6GN and 6T combo 😁👍🏻

@stacyyoung8713 5 лет назад

You get your lift from the bleach itself or the tube of color your using. The developer is like the gas pedal. It's how fast you want to get from point A to B. Your choice as a stylist what the clients hair can handle.

@TheLifeOfHair 5 лет назад

Stacy Young Exactly Stacey that is exactly how it works but my point is when people are using low and slow and misunderstanding what it is all about they are breaking the manufacturers guidelines I have read many an article on line people advocating to break manufacturers guidelines not necessarily even being aware that they are advocating such things but if you break the manufacturers guidelines and something as well the consequences can be devastating as I’m sure you’re aware 😁👍🏻

@DwellonJen 4 года назад

Hello! The video was very informative thank you! I have one question though, I just bleached my hair with a 40 developer, and after seeing this video I'm very concerned about my scalp and hair :'( while rinsing after bleach, there were no clumps of hair that fell out or anything, then would that mean it wasn't too much damage?? Also, what would you recommend to do after bleaching to keep the hair healthy?? Thank you so much for the video!

@TheLifeOfHair 4 года назад

You should be fine Jennifer, I probably would keep bleach you hair with 40V, and most manufacturers do not recommend 40V on scalp if you are just be extremely careful, if you are using foil 30V or 20V will get the job done, If you doing an off scalp technique like Balyage 40V or 30V depending on the hair quality and if you aren’t going to cover it or not. don’t worry to much about your hair at the moment make sure you are using a good protein treatment to keep you hair strong. 😁👍🏻

@colettegrant918 3 года назад

good points made here, just find low and slow good when doing full head highlighting so can allow for longer application process

@KittyQualtagh 3 года назад

lmao, i used 40vol once on my naturally level 8 hair and it worked so fast i couldn’t get an even coverage. i swapped right back to my 20vol/30 minutes processing routine 😅

@TheLifeOfHair 3 года назад

Absolutely my friend that I didn’t say that one size fits all this is a you choose scenario you pick the best technique for your style of work you just need to bear in mind the manufacturers guidelines that is all I am trying to say in this particular video ✌🏻
