High Lift Blondes Are Bleach-Free Platinum Blondes You Can Do at Home

High Lift Blondes make achieving bleach-free Platinum Blonde at home easy, with just a few products.

Platinum Blonde and bleach usually go hand-in-hand — and so do the horror stories.
Hair snapping. Colour going neon yellow. Melting Hair. And let’s not forget the eye-watering salon bill and the hours of small talk you didn’t ask for.

So, let’s just say it:
No, thank you.
No more bleach.
No more fear of doing your Hair at home.
No more committing entire afternoons (and your savings) to someone else’s schedule.
No more armloads of products needed to support your Colour.

Because here’s the truth — and it’s a fun one:
You can get a light, clean, Nordic-inspired Platinum Blonde at home without bleach and without sacrificing the health of your Hair.
Say hello to High Lift Blondes. If you haven’t met them yet, get ready. These are the at-home, bleach-free miracle Colours that make Platinum Blonde actually achievable.

What Is a High Lift Hair Colour?

High Lifts are extra-Light Blonde Hair Colours designed to take you beyond traditional Blonde and into true Platinum territory — the cool, sleek, “Hollywood meets Nordic minimalism” kind of Platinum.
They’re incredibly light, effortlessly toned, and formulated to give that ultra-clean, refined Platinum finish while keeping your Hair soft, hydrated, and protected.

What Makes High Lift Blondes So Different?

High Lifts are not your typical Blonde. They’re formulated with powerful lightening ability — not available in a typical Blonde — but without the chaos and unpredictability of Bleach.

Here’s why they’re special:
Ultra-conditioning, hydrating base to keep your Hair feeling healthy and cushy.
Cool pigment already built in, so your Blonde stays toned, bright, and brass-free.
Simplified for at-home Colouring, yet still delivers the kind of salon-level lift you never thought you could get without bleach.

In short? They lighten and tone at the same time — something bleach simply can’t do.

High Lift Blondes vs Bleach

Bleach

Strips all Natural and Coloured pigment from the Hair.
Can lift unevenly (hello, random orange patches).
Often leaves Hair feeling dry, brittle, and fragile.
Needs a Colour and a Toner after the bleaching process.
Makes most people nervous to use at home — for good reason.

High Lift Blonde Permanent Hair Colour

Lightens your Natural Hair 2–5 shades.
Can gently lift previously Coloured Light Blondes a little further.
Gives you control: you choose the Developer strength.
Already includes Cool pigments (Ash, Beige or Silver) to counteract Brassiness.
Leaves your Hair nourished, smooth, and salon-shiny (thank you, olive oil base).
Gives you confidence to Colour at home — without the fear factor.

You can leave your Hair in one application or follow with a Toner Kit for an extra refined finish.

How to Use High Lifts at Home

Your Developer

High Lifts shine brightest when mixed with 40 Volume Developer. That’s the secret to unlocking their extra-lightening superpowers so you can reach those ethereal, extra-light blondes.

Your Mixing Ratio

Mix 1 Part High Lift Colour + 2 Parts Developer
(e.g. 60ml 901 Extra Light Ash Blonde + 120ml 40 Vol Developer)

Your Processing Time

Leave on for 45 minutes to give the Colour time to lift and tone.

A Few Hot Tips

High Lifts only lighten Natural, virgin Hair free from Colour.
You can use High Lifts over already-Coloured Light Blondes to add Highlights or lightly lift — just ask us first if you're unsure.
If you’re Naturally a Light-to-Medium Blonde, you can customise with 20 Volume Developer or 30 Volume Developer depending on how much lift you need.
For grey/white Hair: Use High Lifts + 20 Volume Developer on 50–70% Grey Hair. It won't give you full coverage, but softens and blends for a delicate, translucent Blonde shine.
