Schwarzkopf blondme review

If you’ve ever stood in front of a shelf full of bleach options and wondered:

“Is BlondMe strong enough to lift dark hair without compromising integrity?”
You’re not alone! This is my Blondme bleach lightener review.

In my latest YouTube video, I put BlondMe bleach lightener by Schwarzkopf to the test on dark hair, and the results might just surprise you.

Why I Tested BlondMe on Dark Hair

As a hairstylist and educator, I’ve worked with a lot of professional lighteners—but I hadn’t used BlondMe in a true color correction scenario until now. I tested it on a level 2 swatch and while the results weren’t too great, I thought I’d give it another go on a real client. There are variables after all, like the natural warmth that comes from your clients head.

This wasn’t just a touch-up or highlight—it was a full-on dark-to-blonde transformation on a stubborn, fragile canvas. The goal? Put BlondMe through a real-world stress test and give you my unfiltered thoughts.

What Is BlondMe Bleach Lightener?

blondme bleach Lightener review

BlondMe Premium Lightener 9+ by Schwarzkopf is a high-performance bleach designed to lift up to 9 levels.

It features:

  • Integrated Bond Enforcing Technology (to reduce breakage)
  • Up to 9 levels of lift
  • Integrated anti-yellow agents
    directly neutralise warm
    undertones
  • Suitable for all techniques and
    hair bases

Many stylists love it for its powerful lift and built-in bond builder—but how does it perform on very fragile dark hair?


My Honest Review: Does BlondMe Work on Dark Hair?

This is my first impression when I tested it on a level 2 swatch. Here is my BlondMe bleach lightener review, but here is my first: I applied BlondMe to a level 2 swatch using the recommended mixing ratio and 20-volume developer.

Pros:

  • Smooth texture—easy to work with
  • Nice viscosity– Great for all hair applications

Cons:

  • LOTS of swelling in foils
  • Not the best lift

Final Result:

BlondMe 9+ successfully lifted the dark hair up to a level 7/8 with minimal damage, making it a good general lightener for stylists who want lift and bond protection in one formula. However, Schwarzkopf Professional reached out to me to give BLONDME another go and test it on a real client and I got completely different results.

Should You Use BlondMe for Hair Color Correction?

If you’re a stylist working with color corrections, dark hair clients, or extreme transformations, BlondMe is worth considering. The built-in bond builder, creamy texture, and strong lift make it a go-to for controlled, high-impact results.

That said, always perform strand tests and manage expectations, especially on previously colored or compromised hair.

Final Thoughts

BlondMe bleach lightener definitely earns its place among top-performing lighteners in the salon. For hairstylists who need a great go-to lightener with serious lift with serious care, this product delivers.
