Learn the correct mixing ratio and step-by-step process for using Truzone Cream Peroxide 9% (30 vol) with Truzone Trulites powder bleach for safe, effective at-home hair lightening.
Quick Answer
Mix 1 part Truzone Trulites powder bleach with 2 parts Truzone Cream Peroxide 9% (30 vol) to create a smooth paste. Apply to dry, unwashed hair in sections, process for 30–45 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Why 30 Vol Peroxide Works for Most At-Home Lightening
Truzone Cream Peroxide 9% (30 vol) lifts hair color by 2–3 levels in a single session, making it a practical choice for brunettes who want noticeable results without the high damage risk of stronger developers. It activates the bleach powder steadily, giving you enough time to apply evenly before it starts working.
When to Choose a Different Developer Strength
If your hair is already light (level 7 or above) or you only need subtle warmth correction, 20 vol might be gentler. For stubborn gray coverage or dramatic lifts from very dark hair, 40 vol lifts faster but increases breakage risk. Stick with 30 vol for a balanced trade-off between speed and hair health.
Step-by-Step Mixing & Application Process
- Prepare Your Workspace and Tools: Wear gloves and an old shirt. Lay out a mixing bowl, tint brush, sectioning clips, and a timer. Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed (natural oils protect the scalp). Do not wash your hair before bleaching; the scalp’s natural oil reduces irritation.
- Mix the Bleach and Peroxide: In the bowl, combine 1 scoop of Truzone Trulites powder bleach with 2 scoops of Truzone Cream Peroxide 9%. Stir until the paste is smooth and lump-free, similar to cake batter consistency. If the mixture is too runny, add a pinch more powder; if too thick, add a few drops of peroxide. Never add water.
- Section Your Hair: Divide hair into 4–6 sections using clips. Start from the back and work forward. Apply the bleach mixture ¼ inch away from the scalp to avoid burning. Applying directly on the scalp can cause chemical burns; leave a small gap.
- Apply the Bleach Paste: Using the tint brush, apply the paste evenly from mid-lengths to ends, then go back to the roots after 10 minutes. Work quickly but carefully—the bleach activates once mixed. Common mistake: applying roots first. Roots process faster due to scalp heat, leading to uneven color.
- Monitor Processing Time: Check the color every 10 minutes after the first 20. Total processing time should not exceed 45 minutes for 30 vol. Do not leave on longer even if the desired lift isn’t reached—re-bleach another day. Leaving bleach on too long can cause breakage. If you need more lift, wait at least 48 hours before a second session.
- Rinse and Condition: Rinse with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Do not shampoo immediately—use a deep conditioner or hair mask to restore moisture. Hot water opens the cuticle and increases damage; keep water temperature moderate.
