FAQ Section

1. What is Affinage Ice Crème Bleach and what does it do?
It is a professional, emollient-rich crème lightener designed to lift natural hair color with high performance while minimizing damage. The creamy formula ensures a smooth, non-drip consistency for precise application during full-head lightening or highlighting techniques.

2. Does it contain conditioning agents?
Typically, professional crème bleaches are formulated to coat the hair shaft during processing to help maintain the hair's integrity and moisture balance, leaving it feeling softer than traditional powder bleaches.

3. What is the mixing ratio?
The standard mixing ratio for crème lighteners is usually 1:2 (one part product to two parts developer), but this should be confirmed on the specific tube/bottle. Mixing at the correct ratio is essential for safety and performance.

4. What developer should I use?
For the best results, it should be mixed with Affinage Cream Peroxide Developers (available in volumes 10, 20, 30, and 40). The choice of volume depends on the desired level of lift, the natural base color, and whether the application is on or off the scalp.

5. Does it have a strong odor?
Crème lighteners are generally preferred for their "low odor" properties compared to powder bleaches, making the service more comfortable for both the stylist and the client.

6. Can I use this for Balayage or Freehand techniques?
Yes. The "Crème" consistency typically provides more control than powder, making it an excellent choice for balayage, foilyage, and other freehand painting techniques.

7. Is it safe for all hair types?
While suitable for many hair types, a strand test should always be performed prior to full application, especially on hair that is pre-lightened, relaxed, or very porous.

8. Does it lift warm or cool?
Most high-quality professional bleaches are formulated to lift cleanly through the orange and yellow stages. For neutralizing underlying warmth, Affinage often recommends toning with specific toners after reaching the desired level of lift.

9. What is the processing time?
Processing time varies depending on the developer used and hair type. It should never exceed the manufacturer's maximum recommended time (usually 45-50 minutes) and must be monitored by checking the decolorization every 10-15 minutes.

10. How should I store this product?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Once opened, it is best to use within a few months to ensure maximum lightening activity.
