L'OREAL TECHNIQUE Quick Blue High Performance Bleach - Lifts Up to 7

In this review the L'OREAL TECHNIQUE Quick Blue High Performance Bleach is assessed as a professional-grade bleaching powder aimed at experienced home users and salon stylists who need a powerful lightener. The bottom line: it delivers strong lifting power and bright, less-brassy results when mixed with a 40-volume developer, making it worth considering for those seeking a single-application, extra strength option. Reviewers noted good value, predictable performance, and ease of use, while also flagging that high-lift formulas require careful application to manage hair condition.

Key Features

• Extra strength lightening: Formulated to lift hair up to 7 levels for fast, dramatic color change when used with an appropriate developer.
• No drip formula: The powder blends into a thicker consistency that helps control application and reduces product run during salon or at-home sessions.
• Professional-grade powder: Designed for single-application use, it pairs with a 20 to 40 developer for controlled, predictable lift for experienced users.
• Color brightness: Customers report brighter, clearer blonde tones and less brassiness after full lift and tone.
• Value per pound: Sold as a 1 pound size, it offers a large quantity suitable for multiple sessions or busy salon use.
• Ease of use: Many users find it straightforward to mix and apply, producing consistent results when standard bleaching technique is followed.

Who It's For

This product suits professional stylists and experienced at-home colorists who are comfortable using strong lighteners and a 40-volume developer to achieve high levels of lift. It is particularly useful when rapid, significant lightening is required or when working on darker bases that need strong action to reach pale blonde stages.

People with fragile, heavily damaged hair or beginners who have not used high-volume developers should look elsewhere or consult a stylist first, since extra strength bleaching increases the risk of breakage without correct technique and post-bleach care.
