Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bleach my hair to go pearl blonde?

Yes! To get pearly blonde hair, you’ll need a pale yellow bleach blonde base. We recommend doing a strand test before bleaching your hair at home. This will give the best indication of how your hair will react to the bleaching process and the end result. 

Why do I need to tone my hair after bleaching?

If you want to go pearly blonde, it’s important to use a toner that neutralises brassy yellows from your freshly bleached hair, which can impact how your colour shows up. Toner helps to even your bleach out and creates a clean finish or base for applying dye.

What can I do to keep my pearly blonde looking fresh?

Use Pearlescent Toner as a base layer before applying Pearlescent Super Cool Color to help strengthen your color and make it last longer. You can also keep your blonde free of yellows with our powerful, purple Pearlescent Shampoo and Conditioner every other wash. They also add a nice pearly glow!

Can I use this on my naturally blonde or grey hair?

Probably not! Your hair needs to be a very pale yellow for any products in the Pearlescent range to show up. We recommend a strand test to check how it'll look on your hair. Naturally blonde or grey hair can be resistant to semi-permanent color so may need to be bleached beforehand.
