ABSOLUK Progressive Blue — blue hair bleaching powder, 25 g

Progressive bleaching lets you monitor how the hair lightens and adapt the work to the chosen technique — highlights, all-over bleaching or unwanted colour removal. Once mixed, Progressive Blue forms a mousse-like texture that makes application easier during a professional service.

Persulfates form the active part of the bleaching formula, while hydrolysed keratin is its conditioning ingredient, supporting the hair structure during lightening. The powder is designed to be combined with Oxidant Cream suited to the technique, so the concentration and mixing ratio are selected according to the treatment area and intended service.

Product and applications

ABSOLUK Progressive Blue is a professional blue bleaching powder for a range of lightening techniques. Its progressive action allows the colourist to control the process and choose an approach suited to the specific service.

What does this product help with?

The powder is designed for highlights, all-over lightening, removal of unwanted colour tones and colour removal techniques. This allows one professional bleaching product to be adapted to different salon services by changing the technique and selecting a suitable developer.

Key ingredients and how the formula works

• Persulfates: potassium persulfate (Potassium Persulfate), ammonium persulfate (Ammonium Persulfate) and sodium persulfate (Sodium Persulfate) — ingredients in the bleaching formula.
• Hydrolysed keratin (Hydrolyzed Keratin) — the formula’s conditioning ingredient.
• Contains the blue pigment C. I. 77007.
• Sodium metasilicate (Sodium Metasilicate) and sodium silicate (Sodium Silicate) — ingredients in the powder formula.

The persulfate formula provides the product’s lightening action, while hydrolysed keratin adds conditioning support for the hair structure. The mousse-like mixture and progressive action allow one bleaching powder to be adapted to different professional techniques.

How to use

First determine whether bleaching will be carried out on the scalp or using a highlighting technique without scalp contact. This determines the developer concentration limit and mixing ratio. Weigh the powder and developer separately in a non-metallic bowl.

Application steps

• Choose the bleaching technique and a suitable ABSOLUK Oxidant Cream strength. Use a non-metallic bowl and protective gloves.
• For highlighting techniques, mix powder and developer at a ratio of 1:1.5–1:2; for example, 25 g powder and 50 g developer give a 1:2 ratio.
• For scalp application, use no more than 20 VOL (6%) developer and a 1:2 ratio. Use of 40 VOL (12%) is not recommended.
• Adapt application and processing time to the technique and hair condition, following the instructions on the pack. Monitor the lightening process during the service and rinse the hair thoroughly at the end.

Before use, read and follow the application and safety instructions on the product packaging. Wear protective gloves during the professional service.

Practical mixing examples

• Ratio 1:1.5 for highlighting: 25 g powder + 37.5 g of a suitable developer.
• Ratio 1:2: 25 g powder + 50 g of a suitable developer.
• For scalp application, use only a 1:2 ratio with no more than 20 VOL (6%) developer. A 40 VOL (12%) developer is not recommended.

Lightening control and aftercare

Mix to a smooth, mousse-like consistency and apply using the chosen technique. Monitor lightening throughout the service, adapting processing to the hair condition and the instructions on the specific pack. Rinse the hair thoroughly after bleaching.

After an alkaline bleaching service, Total Repair shampoo and mask help restore softness, shine and elasticity. If unwanted yellow tones in blonde or bleached hair need to be reduced afterwards, Black Violet care is suitable when used according to the range’s instructions.
