FAQs
What is the primary purpose of Wella Blondor Freelights Developer 12%?
It is designed for professional use with Blondor Freelights Powder to create natural-looking highlights and enable freehand coloring techniques like balayage and ombre.
How much lift can I expect with this developer?
This 12% developer can lift hair by up to 7 levels, providing significant lightening results.
Can I use this developer with other lightening powders?
It is specifically formulated for use with Wella Blondor Freelights Powder for optimal performance and formula stability. Using it with other products is not recommended.
Is this developer suitable for at-home use?
No, this is a professional product intended for use by trained hairstylists only due to its high strength and the techniques it supports.
What is the advantage of the 'reduced swelling' feature?
Reduced swelling ensures the lightener mixture stays precisely where applied, preventing it from spreading unintentionally, which is crucial for detailed techniques like balayage.
How should I store the developer?
Store the developer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, with the cap tightly closed.
What precautions should I take before using it?
Always perform a strand test and a patch test 48 hours prior to application, especially on clients with previously treated hair or sensitive scalps.
Troubleshooting
Product does not mix to a creamy consistency
Ensure you are using Blondor Freelights Powder and that the mixing ratio is correct. Check that the developer and powder are within their expiry dates and have been stored properly.
Uneven lightening results
Ensure thorough and even application of the mixed lightener. Avoid overlapping previously lightened areas on subsequent applications. Perform strand tests to determine correct processing time for the client's hair type.
Hair feels overly dry or damaged after use
Processing time may have been too long or the formula was applied to already compromised hair. Always perform a strand test. Recommend intensive conditioning treatments post-service.
Developer causes scalp irritation
Perform a patch test 48 hours before full application. Avoid applying directly to the scalp if not intended for on-scalp use. Ensure the client's scalp is healthy and free from abrasions. Rinse thoroughly.
