Level Out Powder

What is Level Out?

Level Out by Code Zero is a non-volatile bleaching powder that does not scatter into the air during mixing and lifts up to 9 levels, with a creamy, easy-to-apply mix for precise, even lightening. The 500 g pack mixes 1:2 with a 10, 20, 30 or 40 vol developer: 45 minutes at room temperature give 5-6 levels, 90 minutes at room temperature 8 levels and 90 minutes at 37-39°C 9 levels, up to zero colour. Inulin and Hydrolyzed Silk condition the hair during the service.

Specifications

Who Level Out is for

• Colourists who need precise, even lift of up to 9 levels.
• Strong lightening and preparation of the base for toning or colour.
• Previously treated hair that calls for a controlled, step-by-step process.
• Salons that work with the Code Zero Oxidizer developer.

Key ingredients

• Potassium Persulfate and Ammonium Persulfate: the persulfate bleaching agents that lift the pigment evenly, up to 9 levels.
• Inulin: a conditioning sugar that helps keep the hair soft during lightening.
• Hydrolyzed Silk: silk protein that conditions the fibre through the service.
• Silica and Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum: give the mix its creamy, easy-to-apply consistency.

Results

Precise, even lightening up to 9 levels, also on previously treated hair, with a clean base ready for toning or colour. The creamy mix spreads easily and stays where it is applied.
