Blondme Premium Lightener 9+ from Schwarzkopf is kind of a go-to when someone wants to go way lighter without frying their hair. Works really well for full blonding, balayage, or even just some face-framing highlights. It lifts crazy high, like if someone has dark roots and wants to go icy or platinum, this gets it done. Also nice if someone’s doing a color correction and needs to strip old pigment without turning hair orange. Hair feels softer than expected after using it too.
