Bleach powder in Europe, what's the best?

While skimming through the forum, I noticed that some can have AWESOME results with only vol 20 while my hair (dyed dark brown/after the colour remover red) didn't came even close too the so much wanted pale yellow with vol. 30. Apart from the virgin roots.  The roots were perfect.

Apparently my friend bought me a generic white bleach powder, can't find any name whatsoever, so I was wondering: are there any differences and if so, what's the best I can buy in Europe?

Matrix Light Master. It is excellent, I get mine on ebay, and it isn't even very expensive, worth every penny.

Just checked on ebay and asked them how much product it actually contains as I couldn't find it in the description.

Dude, it's kinda sucky I could've gotten a way better result with a different bleach powder.  πŸ˜›

It is 500 gr? *1* Wasn't sure.

I also noticed I paid €13.75 for 100 gr generic bleach. Ouch!

try kapperskorting.com, they have generic powder for a decent price πŸ™‚

Also personally I like loreals ammonia free ones, but the normal one is also pretty great.

I totally second the Matrix Light Master! You can use lower vol with it for less time and still get a better result. For example, I have very resistant level 6 dark ash blonde hair. With all the generic/popular bleaches, I would need to use straight 30 vol for 45 minutes, with added heat part of the time, and i would only lift to a golden yellow. With LM, I can do a 30 vol bleach bath, so 15 vol, for 25 minutes and I'm a somewhat toned pale yellow. The hair feels a lot better afterwards too, which is probably because of these things. I know it's a lot of bleach and some places online it can be expensive but it is worth every single penny. I'm broke and I would pay $60 for that tub if I had to lol.

My natural hair is a level 6 light brown with quite the red (I assume. Nobody is knows what my actual hair colour is) but the lifting of that expensive generic bleachpowder combined with vol 30 was kinda 'meh' after reading the lifts other can get.

The ebayseller just responded: it's indeed 500gr so Matrix Light Master it is!
Thanks!

Also, is there any big difference between developers, when it comes to brands I mean. I know the volume differences. πŸ˜‰
