Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this consistency So far I love the consistency of this lightener - and it made my blonde beautiful ! We know how difficult it is to lighten previously colored red hair - and this lightener took it past the pink !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressed Ok I was skeptical at first. but I love it!! It covers so evenly. Its easy to apply and really lifts up to 9 levels in like 20 min. No dust or intense odor. I even used it on a level 4/5 with the 20 vol and it looked great. I will buy again. Little annoying it has its own developer.. i dont need any more bottles in my small locker. But I get it and would really recommend to try it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Blond Max for the win ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, a lightener that actually delivers! As a hairstylist, I’ve tried my fair share of lighteners, and BlondeMax 9+ has genuinely impressed me. The lift is consistent and even — we’re talking pale yellow to beautiful blonde in a single session without the usual damage drama. That alone is worth the price of admission. The consistency is a dream to work with. Creamy, pliable, spreads like butter in foils, and doesn’t turn into a dusty mess when you’re mixing. Paired with 20-volume developer, it performs beautifully without going stiff or clumpy mid-application. What really sets it apart? Hair actually feels better after. Softer, stronger, and the results come out cool and bright — no brassy orange surprises waiting for you when you rinse. My clients have been thrilled. A couple of notes: if you’re expecting a full 9-level lift on every single hair type, manage expectations accordingly — results can vary. And mix it well, because the texture can be on the thicker side right out of the tub. Bottom line: This has become a go-to in my kit for foil highlights and root touch-ups. Highly recommend. 💛

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Minimal dust Thank you Matrix for sending me the BlondeMax 9+ Oil-Powered Lightener in exchange for my honest review. I highlighted permanently colored level 5 hair with nice even results. I really like the oil powered developer making the consistency smooth and workable. I pull my foils in sections as they finish processing and this lightener had minimal dustiness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick lift This was a strong, quick lifting bleach. It lifted my hair fast. You have to be careful if hair was damaged, but it worked really good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Will be adding to my supply Honestly, one of the best lighteners I’ve ever used! It lifted quickly and consistently, and was so easy to mix. The hair felt amazing afterward-super healthy. I also loved that it didn’t swell or need to be stirred down during application.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great lightener Love the consistency of this lightener. Good lift and sticks well to foils. Haven't had any problems with swelling. The creamy consistency is great for on scalp applications too. Will definitely repurchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tough but gentle This formula did double duty. It was tough on the pigment. As well as gentle on the hair. I will use this in my arsenal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Lift! I have tested this product now on both starting virgin levels 8 and 6 and I can say I am quite impressed with the lift! Even, fast lift in foils making my highlights faster and more efficient. I was skeptical about the product in general and then using 20 volume, I was pleasantly surprised with how blonde I got my guests in only 20 minutes processing time. I've always loved Redone Flashlight, but this will be my new go-to for massive lift and blonding.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best bleach! This bleach has changed my life!! I love how smooth it blends. No swelling, beautiful lift. Will definitely be using on all my highlights!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must have for blonding specialists! This is the BEST lightener I have ever used! Better than goldwell, blondeme, redken, joico and rhe danger jones bleach. High lift, zero swelling. I will never use another brand!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Descent product Overall it lifted well with minimal warm tones. Seemed thick when mixing and dusty. I would use it again but wasn’t overly impressed and definitely not 9 levels of lift.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from great lightener The consistency of this lightener is great, doesn’t dry out, and it’s very gentle on their hair with a powerful lift! My favorite part about it is there’s not a strong scent and it doesn’t swell which is amazing! Definitely going to continue using! My go to mixing ratio is 1:1.5
Date published: 2026-04-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommend This lightener definitely lifted my clients hair to that pale yellow that we all strive to achieve. It lightened my clients hair pretty fast without additional damage.
Date published: 2026-04-08
Rated 4 out of 5 by from I’m glad I tried it I normally don’t use matrix lightner but I tried it and I would say it gets the job done!!!! I had even lift all through out with my highlights!!!
Date published: 2026-04-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love it I love the consistency of this product. It makes it go a long way. It doesnt dry out fast or swell. I do recommend you wipe off a little area before shampooing off as the blue formula make it sometime look ready to wash but it needs 5 more minutes. The hair feels amazing after ! Definitely my new go to lightener .
Date published: 2026-04-08
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Highly Recommend! A phenomenal lightener! I have used this on some of my regular blonding clients and I’m so impressed! The lift is phenomenal and the hair is significantly less damaged compared to the lightner I was using before!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from not the greatest In theory it sounds good but in reality it’s not as great as I thought it would be. The life just isn’t there and it takes too long to lift .
Date published: 2026-04-08
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great consistency! Love the consistency of the product! Goes on great when highlighting and free hand painting. Slightly dusty when mixing. I would purchase again

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the consistency! Nice consistency mixes easily and provided a nice even lift with minimal warm tones !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice lift I love the creamy consistency you get with this oil in lightener formula. The lift was good, not extraordinarily fast, but a clean lift. I appreciate that it did not swell and I really enjoyed the consistency when mixed with the coordinating 20 volume developer.
Date published: 2026-04-07
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Like but didn’t love Nice consistency and no dust but it doesn’t lift all that quick, left some warmth in the hair in places. If you take very thin partings it would be ok probably. It does leave the hair feeling strong
