The Facts

The perfect amount for money pieces, buzzcuts, bangs, dip-dyes, and everything in between! A 2oz version of our best-selling 4oz Lightening Kit.

Kit comes with pre-measured:

  • Powder Lightener, 0.67 OZ
  • Crème Developer, 2 FL OZ
  • Gloves, 1 pair

This formula gently, easily, and safely lifts hair 4-5 levels. It contains a 25 volume developer that is powerful enough to lift the hair while being safe for at-home lightening.

Moisture in the hair that's removed during the lightening process is replaced with soy protein and coconut oil to protect, condition, and strengthen hair while lightening.

Infused with healthy-hair ingredients:

  • Coconut Oil to condition hair during the lightening process.
  • Soy Protein protects and strengthens the hair while lightening.
  • Always 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

This formula is cruelty-free, gluten-free, and vegan.


Step 1. Mix the pre-measured Powder and Developer in a plastic bowl until it is well blended. There should be no clumps. 

Step 2. Hair should be dry and it’s best if hair is unwashed.

Step 3. Section your hair and apply the lightening mixture with a gloved hand or brush. (TIPS: saturate the hair and cover it when you finish, to keep the Lightener from drying out. When it dries, it stops working. Protect your skin from irritation by applying shea butter, coconut oil or thick hair conditioner to your hairline and over the ears.)

Step 4. Let your hair process for no more than 50 minutes, until you achieve the desired tone. Check consistently (every 5-10 minutes) to evaluate the color lift.

Step 5. After you achieve the desired result, rinse and shampoo your hair thoroughly with warm water until you are sure all of the product is removed. Do NOT condition the hair, as your Semi-Permanent Dye will act like your conditioner when you apply.

Step 6. Wait at least 24 hours before any further lightening.

Step 7. Before coloring with GDY Semi-Permanent Dye, make sure hair is totally dry. When it is, you’re ready for color!

  • When lightening hair, save about an inch of your roots for last. The heat from your scalp causes lightener to work faster and will lift your roots quicker than the rest of your hair. This will ensure even lift.
  • Need to dye a larger section of hair? Get our 4oz Lightening Kit.
  • Before applying a semi-permanent dye, you may need to tone your newly lightened hair. If you don’t, the underlying tones in your hair will mix with the semi-permanent color potentially creating an unwanted shade. If your hair lifts more orange, use a blue based (ash) toner. If it lifts yellow, use a purple based toner. This will neutralize the unwanted tones and create a natural blonde base for your semi-permanent color. Try our Platinum DYEposit.
  • The scalp is more sensitive when it is that time of the month, so save yourself some pain and don’t lighten your hair while on your menstrual cycle.

Bang for Your Buck

"I was pleasantly surprised with how much lightener you receive! If you're doing highlights or are doing a decent amount of lightening, this product is perfect. The directions were easy and I found that I had much more even lift than when I used other kits."

Brittany M. (5/5)

Successful!

"It was my first time bleaching my hair and it was easier than expected! My hair also felt healthy and it was overall a great experience."

Mate (5/5)

For bleaching eyebrows!

"This is great. Easiest I’ve used and more effective (as someone with black hair). I just mix a tiny bit each time I want to re-up my eyebrows - 1 part powder to 3 parts cream. Leave on for 7 mins covered w plastic wrap and then check."

Annisha B. (5/5)

OBSESSED

"GDY is without a doubt my favorite company for fun colors. I think I’ve probably tested every home color brand on the market and GDY outshines them all! No other dye lasts as long or fades out as nicely as these do. 10/10 on the lightening kit too, as someone who has been in bold colors for 15+ years I cannot say enough good things!!"

Meridith A. (5/5)

looks dope, smells pretty

"Got exactly the color I was hoping for based on the instructions and example pics, and it smelled super nice which was a lovely surprise."

Lindsay E. (5/5)

"Lifts super fast only needed 10 min for my desire lift ! I can see how some people would get their hair damaged if they dont check every 3-5 minutes. 0 damage to my hair"

David (5/5)

Amazing!

"I used Du Hast to touch up color I had done at the salon and thought my natural color was light enough to be covered, but it was not. I was left with long dark roots, so I got this lightener just for my roots and buzz. I literally only left it on for 5 minutes! It worked so fast! I’m incredibly impressed. It was super gentle on my hair and scalp and I used less than half of this smaller size. I could easily do all of my hair with one of the streaks and strands boxes and still have some left over. Added Du Hast directly on the lightened areas and it looks AMAZING! Subscribed!"

Noa H. (5/5)

best bleach out there!!

"as a lazy girl and also someone who has had their fair share of bleach and hair mishaps, i honestly refuse to use any other bleach or bleach kit at home. the way it’s already portioned so there’s no worry of over doing it. it also always comes out the perfect base to play with. LOVE her!!!!!!!"

Q&A

I have faded blue streaks in my hair that are turning a greenish. This was done by a salon. I wanted to rebleach my hair and dye it purple myself with the dye I got from GDY, but I am scared that it won’t take the green/blue away well enough. Would it be able to take the color out or does it only work well on dark/virgin hair to lighten? TYSM!
Thank you for reaching out! Our Lightening Kit will lighten your streaks a bit and pop open the cuticle. However, blue and green tones are the hardest to get out, so we can’t guarantee it will budge since we don’t know how the salon processed your hair. Our color expert's best advice is to do what’s called a test strand. Take a pretty small piece of the faded color, and lighten it and see if it budges, then put the purple color on and see if it’s the desired result. You can also do this on a piece without lightening and the purple dye straight over the top and see what happens. It just may be enough pigment to refresh it! Team GDY
