Clairol ProfessionalBW2+ Extra Strength Powder Lightener, Up to 9 Levels of Lift for Hair Highlights & Lightening

I’ve used the Clairol BW2 Powder Lightener multiple times, and overall, it’s a solid choice for hair bleaching. It lifts color effectively and works quickly, especially when paired with a 30 or 40 volume developer. The powder is fine and mixes well, creating a smooth consistency that’s easy to apply.One of the standout features is its strength—this bleach is powerful, so it’s great for achieving high lift results. However, that also means it can be a bit harsh. I’d recommend doing a strand test first, especially if you have a sensitive scalp. The smell is strong, like most bleach powders, so good ventilation is a must.A little goes a long way, making it cost-effective, and I appreciate that it doesn’t dry out too fast during application. That being said, timing is crucial—leaving it on too long can cause dryness or damage. I always follow up with a deep conditioner to keep my hair healthy.Overall, BW2 is a reliable and affordable option for bleaching, whether you’re doing a full lift or just highlights. Just be cautious with processing time and always use proper hair care afterward.

I recently purchased the Clairol Professional BW2+ Dedusted, and I am beyond impressed! This powder lightener provides exceptional results, lifting my hair beautifully without damaging it. The dust-free formula makes it easy to mix and apply, ensuring a smooth and mess-free process.I've used it for highlights and full balayage, and it consistently delivers vibrant color with minimal brassiness. Plus, it has a pleasant scent compared to other lighteners I’ve tried. The packaging is also user-friendly, making it perfect for both professional and at-home use.Overall, I highly recommend BW2+ Dedusted for anyone looking for a reliable and effective hair lightener. It’s definitely a staple in my hair care routine!

I know it isn’t the greatest image. But it works well! As someone with virgin hair I was a little nervous about using this. But it worked really well with my hair and I had little to no damage and lifted me quite a lot of shades! Great product. Will be buying again! :)

The bleach works very well. Lightens very fast! I used this to bleach my wig it only took 10 to 15 Min to bleach knots with 40 developers. Wear a mask and gloves if mixing this with the developer.

Clairol professional excellent product the perfect one for a good discoloration!!!!

The bleach definitely works very well but the chemicals in this makes my nose itch. I recommend wearing a mask and gloves if mixing this with developer. It stings if the mixture gets on your skin

The first photo is the color it was dyed down to- once toner was placed over it- pale lightest blonde, after the bleach with 40 volume- and it started at the first photo dark brown brunette with chunky blonde streaks (streaks had been bleached x 2 months to get them this color from the dark brown brunette. I was tired of dying my hair every month because of the gray— so we are slowly going to an opposite ombré with dark brown brunette on the bottom and blonde-palest white gray on the top.

It definitely lightens your hair very quickly
