There are many convenient and effective products developed for hair lightening. A universal choice is the Crema Schiarente hair lightening cream from the renowned Italian brand iColori. Its advantage over other lightening powders and dyes is that it contains minimal ammonia. Consequently, damage to the hair and skin is minimized. The primary active ingredients are natural extracts and oils that lighten the hair. After using this cream, hair not only gains a lighter shade but also remains soft, elastic, shiny, and healthy.
The Crema Schiarente lightening cream from iColori makes hair lightening possible in the comfort of your own home. The gentle action of this product will not harm the hair, hands, or scalp. The cream allows for lightening from 3 to 6 levels.
How to use: For mixing with the developer, use a non-metallic bowl. The mixing ratio with the developer is 1:2. To lighten 3-4 levels, use a 20 vol (6%) developer. For lightening 4-5 levels – use a 30 vol (9%), and for 5-6 levels – use a 40 vol (12%). To remove artificial pigment, use a 10 vol (3%) developer. The processing time is from 20 to 50 minutes, periodically check the lightening process.
I cannot share the enthusiasm of the other girls. I am very disappointed with this hair lightener. The smell is really too strong, I had to do it outside because it was impossible to breathe. The consistency is pleasant, creamy, but that's where the advantages end. It really dries out the hair (even though I used a 3% developer). It lightens the hair well, but aggressively (leaving the hair dry and lifeless).
And I also have a question: after the whole procedure, my hair becomes greasy and cannot be washed out, at all. First, I rinsed off the lightener - the hair dried out and I realized that they were greasy! I washed for the second time with shampoo - still greasy! And I rinsed for the third time with a deep cleansing shampoo and still couldn't get rid of this strange grease. The bowl and brushes, by the way, are also greasy from the product, so the problem is not with the hair. What should I do? What is this?
I am attaching a comparative photo, BEFORE and AFTER taken on the second day after rinsing.
I had dark chestnut hair with very dark ends. I left the product on my hair for 12 minutes, starting the application from the darkest part of my hair - the ends. In these 12 minutes, the darkness and rustiness disappeared, and the condition of my hair did not worsen at all. I rinsed off the mixture with an Acidic shampoo to close the hair cuticles.
I mixed it with a 3% developer of the same brand, and as a result, the ends went from level 4 to level 6 without any damage to the hair.
Excellent lightening cream.
Pros: Gentle, mild lightening. Small consumption.
I have very thick hair of medium length and at first I took about 1/3 of the cream, diluted it with an oxidizer, and there was a loooot of it. It has a pleasant consistency that applies well to the hair.
Definitely much better than powder.
I mixed it with a 12% developer at a ratio of 1:2 and left it on for 25 minutes. My color turned out as ash blonde, which is a natural light brown shade.
I have allergic reactions to all kinds of hair dyes, powders, color removers, etc. However, this product causes less irritation than others. It doesn't make my scalp hurt or burn, only a slight itchiness, but compared to many other products, it's like a lifesaver.
The consistency is foamy and it applies easily without dripping.
As for the downsides:
- It has a strong smell.
- It doesn't lighten very strongly, so I end up with yellow roots. But I usually tone over it, so it's not a catastrophe.
I hesitated for a while whether to buy it or not. I couldn't find any reviews anywhere, except for one on recomend/ru. The girl wrote that it seemed like a decent product, and I decided to give it a try. Today, I just finished coloring my hair, and I'm writing this review right away. I'm a blonde and I dye my roots every month and a half. Blondorans, lightening powders, Matrix, Karal, and others have been tested for a long time, but they don't work for me. They make my head burn and itch terribly. Recently, I found lightening cream. This time, I tried the iColori Crema hair cream. It's similar in color to blue clay, and the consistency is also the same. It's not easy to mix with the developer, there are lumps. BUT! I liked it much more than the lightening creams I've used before. It doesn't burn, itch, or make my head itch, and it doesn't over-process my hair. I have shoulder-length hair with medium thickness, and I used half of the tube for this. Overall, I recommend it. It's a good product. And yes, it doesn't have a strong smell.
