Product Information

Full details

The TIGI Blonder Clay Lightener 430g - White is a professional-grade clay-based bleach powder for adult, unisex use, designed for precise lightening services like balayage and freehand painting. Its key benefit is its unique clay texture that hardens on the outside and stays creamy inside, preventing bleeding and allowing for controlled placement. A potential caveat is that it requires careful monitoring during processing to achieve desired lift up to 7 levels.

FAQs

What techniques is TIGI Blonder Clay Lightener best suited for?

It is ideal for balayage, freehand painting, and other open-air lightening techniques where precision and control are essential, thanks to its unique clay texture that prevents bleeding.

How many levels of lift can I expect?

This product can provide up to 7 levels of lift, depending on the hair's starting level, the developer used, and the processing time.

Can I use this with any brand of developer?

No, TIGI Blonder Clay Lightener is specifically formulated to work with TIGI oxidising developers for optimal and predictable results.

What is the maximum processing time?

The maximum processing time is up to 50 minutes. However, it is crucial to check the hair's lift progress regularly throughout the process.

Is this product suitable for all hair types?

It is designed for professional use on adult hair. Always perform a strand test before full application, especially on chemically treated or compromised hair, to assess suitability and desired results.

Why does the clay texture harden on the outside?

The clay texture hardens on the outside while staying creamy within. This unique property helps to control the lightener's placement, preventing it from bleeding, smudging, or swelling into unwanted areas.

What does 'dust-free' mean for this product?

'Dust-free' means that when you measure and mix the powder, it does not create a fine dust that can be inhaled. This makes the mixing process safer and more pleasant.

Troubleshooting

Product not lifting hair effectively

Ensure you are using the correct TIGI oxidising developer strength and that the mixing ratio is accurate. Verify that the product has not expired and is stored properly. Re-apply if necessary after strand testing for safety.

Product bleeding or smudging during application

Check that the clay texture has begun to form. Ensure application is precise and avoid over-saturation. For very fine or compromised hair, consider a lower developer strength or shorter processing time.

Uneven lightening results

Ensure thorough saturation of the hair strands. Check for any "hot spots" during processing and adjust application or timing accordingly. A strand test prior to full application can help identify potential issues.

Product feels too thick or too thin

Adjust the mixing ratio slightly with the TIGI developer, following TIGI's recommended guidelines. The clay texture can vary based on humidity and developer used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Mixing: Combine TIGI Blonder Clay Lightener with TIGI oxidising developers in a non-metallic bowl. The specific ratio will depend on the desired consistency and lift, as recommended by TIGI developer guidelines. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, creamy paste is achieved.
  2. Application: Apply the mixture precisely to dry hair using a brush or preferred application tool, focusing on the areas requiring lightening.

Compatibility:

  • This product is formulated to be used exclusively with TIGI oxidising developers. Using other brands of developers may result in unpredictable results or reduced performance.
  • It is suitable for adult users and intended for use on natural or previously colored hair, though strand testing is always recommended for compromised or heavily processed hair.

Care:

  • Storage: Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
  • After Use: Ensure the container lid is securely closed after each use to maintain product freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
  • Equipment: Clean all application tools and bowls thoroughly after use.
