The Redken Blonde IQ 8 Calibrated Anti-Brass Cream Lightener is a high-performance professional cream lightener that offers up to 8 levels of lift with a powerful anti-brass action. Developed with an advanced oil-activated system, this product provides precise neutralisation of unwanted warm tones, ensuring exceptionally clean, even, and healthy-looking blonde results.
Technology and Performance
This lightener features Advanced Neutralization Technology, which targets and concentrates lightening agents to the deepest level of the hair cortex, neutralising underlying pigments (eumelanin and pheomelanin) with high efficiency. Its conditioning-cream texture (Conditioning-Cream Texture) provides maximum precision glide (Precision Cream Glide) and eliminates the risk of swelling (No Swelling) during processing time, facilitating the colourist's work, safeguarding fibre integrity, and maintaining the natural definition of curls.

Expert Tip
