Flash Lightning Hair Bleaching Kit- 40 Volume Cream Developer

I purchased this Manic Panic Flash Lightning bleach kit for my wife, and she’s been very happy with how it performed. She has darker hair and was looking for a kit that could provide strong lift, and this one delivered noticeable results. The kit is straightforward to use and comes with everything needed. The bleach lifted evenly and effectively without patchiness, and she was able to achieve the level of lightening she wanted in a single session. She mentioned that the consistency was easy to work with and applied smoothly. She also appreciated that the formula is vegan and cruelty free. While any bleaching process can be drying, she didn’t experience excessive damage beyond what’s expected from a high-lift product when used correctly and followed up with proper conditioning. Overall, this is a powerful and effective bleach kit that does what it claims, especially for darker hair. My wife liked the results and would consider using it again when she needs a strong lift.

I bleach and color my hair regularly, at least every few months. I have not had my natural hair color more than a few weeks at a time for the past 10 years at least. So I have used a lot of hair colors and bleaches and hair color removers. This is my favorite bleach by far. I cannot believe how quickly it worked. For reference, I was bleaching a light purple color out of my medium blonde/light brown ash toned hair. I also had roots that had grown out so I needed to bleach out both the old permanent color and my roots. My hair is about chin length with an undercut, but very very thick. One box of this bleached all of my hair in about 20 minutes. It took it to a light golden blonde, but probably would have been white if I had given it a a few more minutes. I started with my lengths and planned to let that sit for a bit then do my roots, but I could see the lightening in my lengths within minutes so I went ahead and applied to everything and was ready to rinse in about 20 minutes all told. I shampooed 3 times and conditioned with a hair mask afterward and my hair wasn't overly brassy or straw-like in texture. If you have long hair or very thick hair, you will likely need two boxes of this. The directions were super easy (just mix everything together basically) and it actually came with a decent pair of gloves (not the paper thin ones that I usually get and are practically useless). The smell with this was not as bad as some bleaches I have used either. I really have no complaints, for the price this is hands down the best bleach I have ever used. Simple, quick, and effective. Bonus, the color that came out was nice enough and even enough that I have been able to wait a few days in between bleaching and re-coloring (basically, it is presentable in public so I didn't have to go right back to the bathroom to color as soon as I washed this out). Especially if you have medium color hair and want to get some vibrant colors in, highly recommend this to get you started.

It worked very well & was just as described!

I was skeptical at first because I didn't think it was going to do a good job. I wanted it to just at least be decent. It went beyond my expectations is actually a really good kit. My hair isn't dark colored it's actually a light pink or it was and it took it up to almost Platinum so it was really good kit.

** UPDATE with more pictures: This stuff is the most even bleaching flash lightener ive ever used and was VERY consistent with each section. Keeping in mind, i deliberately didn't want to go all the way to my scalp just yet (for future bleaching and fading reasons) AND i did it in very random sections for a better blend up where my roots are as well as having different levels of lightening throughout and every piece lightened evenly with piece bleached at the same time. i bought two but one was enough for half of my head which i thought id need two for due to the length. Granted, i DO have an undercut so the back of my head is shaved but there was even just enough left in the tub to cover the half of it that i would've bleached if it was still there and not only is my hair long in general, but its long even on me as someone who's about 5'10-5'11. i have a lot of hair needless to say, and its EXTREMELY dark (and virgin aside from the very ends on a couple pieces that were bleached and dyed teal 2 years ago almost exactly. Which brings me to my next point...it says 5 levels and literally lightened my hair precisely 5 levels. im just really impressed with the reliability this product turned out to have. I'm glad i chose it. Even the value is awesome because i usually need a ridiculous amount of ANY product for my hair (i used TWO splat bleachings for just my ends two years ago which wasn't even my plan-i wanted to do what im doing now) but now i already have the bleach i need for the next lift after a little repair time goes by. I'm going for a rich eggplanty-blue violet that isn't too dark in low light but with the natural color of my hair, its a process i planned for. I want the color but i also want to keep the integrity of my long hair in tact. Even the ends with previous bleaching had very minimal damage. Its still got a great amount of elasticity and it soft and smooth. I bought All Plex too but I've decided to save it for the second bleaching i'll do n the near future so the only thing ive put on my hair other than the bleach and then shampoo to wash it out, was a VERY small amount of some Husk Coconut oil that i already had and it did great just with that. The ONLY preventative measures of protection I used was not washing my hair for quite awhile...QUITE a while lol...its not the MOST attractive thing but no one can tell if you wear your hair up (all or partially, in any style) and maybe a little dry shampoo for roots when its not all up. But your natural oils can do a whole lot more than any man made product and I wanted the healthiest result. NOTE: i did all of this on a strand test before doing the exact same thing to the rest to be sure of how it would turn out-especially with a product i'm unfamiliar with. so whatever you do for YOUR hair, do a strand test first for ANY product or even any technique that you are new to. **You cant have pretty colorful hair if you fry it all off..regret not leaving it in long enough or regret leaving it in too long. One of those is MUCH easier to correct and deal with** I left mine on for 35min from the time i finished, not from the time i started. I tried to take the pictures in different lighting because the sun wasn't really showing much on the strand test and it was dark by the time it was all finished and dried. My bathroom light is kinda yellow and my bathroom is really small AND the walls are painted a very pale yellow lol so i tried to getting different angles but it doesn't really effect the real life color too much. This is enough for me at this stage of my current color journey. -Initial review: I JUST received my package of two bleaching kits so for now I'm rating it 5 stars overall just based on packaging/delivery and amount of product for price. I plan on using them this week, as soon as i get the first opportunity, so i'll update then.

Easy and quick to use...

Always a great product. Arrived fast

Premetto che ho preso per errore il decolorante più forte della serie mentre a me interessava solo schiarire di qualche tono per fare poi un color rame che prendesse bene anche nella ricrescita. Funziona benissimo, anche troppo, e per ora non mi sembra che i miei capelli si siano rovinati. Io l'ho lasciato in posa solo dieci minuti sperando schiarisse poco, invece è uscito un giallo uovo incredibile 😂

No me gustó, venía con el producto derramado, y yo no tenía guantes de protección (como iba a saberlo) y ahora tengo mi mano irritada

Llevo el pelo de 2 colores y necesitaba decolorar para poner el color en la raíz, en menos de 5 min ya estaba rubia platina cosa que con otros tengo que esperar muchísimo. No me daña el cabello y lo deja súper suave

Excelente aclarante para el cabello sin dejarlo maltratado. Me decidí por esta marca porque vi las reseñas que decían que aclara sin dejar ese tono como anaranjado que dejan otros aclarantes. Mi cabello es castaño muy oscuro y pues... Las reseñas son ciertas! Deja un tono muy bonito (como castaño claro con reflejos dorados). Claro que la intensidad del aclarado depende del tiempo que lo dejes puesto, yo solo quería uno o dos tonos más claro que mi color natural y me encantó. Además rinde bastante y a un precio excelente 👌Lo súper recomiendo!! 💜

Ich hatte mir sehr viele Gedanken gemacht, ob ich meine Haare wirklich selbst zuhause bleichen will, besonders, da mich - ironischerweise - Bleach Fail Videos dazu inspiriert haben. Meine Haare sind dunkelbraun (Level 3) und sehr fein. Mit dem Kit habe ich meine Haare nach Packungsanweisung behandelt und ein helles Orange 🍊 herausbekommen, das ich dann mit grün und ein paar Wochen später mit rot einfärben konnte. Da knallige Farben mein Ziel waren, hat das vollkommen gereicht. Meine Haare sind weder ausgefallen noch kaputt gegangen. An das Ziel "helles Blond" hätte ich mich damit allerdings nicht gewagt.
