MANIC PANIC Flash Lightning Super Strength Bleach Kit — 40 Volume Developer, Up to 7-Level Lift, Vegan & Cruelty-Free

This kit is designed to lighten dark and medium brown hair quickly and evenly so you can achieve a clean base for vibrant semi-permanent or pastel shades. The kit bundles bleach powder, 40-volume developer, gloves, a mixing bowl, tint brush, and a plastic cap to make the process straightforward for DIY colorists. Formulated without animal testing or common harsh additives, it’s aimed at creators who want dramatic lift while using vegan and cruelty-free products.

How much lift can I expect from this bleach kit?

With the 40-volume developer and the concentrated bleach powder formula, the kit can lift natural pigment up to seven levels on many hair types. Results depend on your starting color, hair texture, and previous chemical treatments, so multiple sessions may be required for extremely dark or resistant hair.

• Up to 7 levels of lift on many natural and lightly dyed bases
• 40-volume developer for maximum lightening power
• Works best with even application and correct timing

Is this safe to use at home and what does the kit include?

The kit contains everything needed for a single bleaching session so you can perform the process at home: bleach powder, 40-volume developer, gloves, mixing tub, tint brush, and a plastic cap. Follow the instructions carefully and perform a strand test; use the protective gloves and avoid overlapping heavily processed sections to reduce damage.

• Complete at-home kit — no separate purchases required
• Includes protective gloves and a cap for even processing
• Recommended to patch and strand-test before full application

Will this kit work on dark or previously colored hair?

The high-lift 40-volume developer is formulated to significantly lighten darker bases, including medium to dark brown and some black hair, though results vary. Previously colored or chemically treated hair can respond unpredictably, so expect varied lift and consider staged sessions to avoid excessive breakage.

• Effective on dark and medium-dark natural tones
• Previously dyed hair may require slower, staged lifts
• Dust-free powder helps promote even lightening across the head

How does this product align with ethical and ingredient preferences?

MANIC PANIC positions this bleach kit as cruelty-free and vegan, without common harsh additives like PPD and ammonia; it’s also free from gluten and phthalates. While ethically formulated, it remains a chemical lightener so follow safety guidance and aftercare recommendations to maintain hair health.

• PETA-accredited vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• No ammonia, PPD, phthalates, or gluten in the formula
• Suitable for creators seeking ethical color products

Who is this for: This kit is for people who want a powerful at-home bleaching option to prepare hair for bold or pastel colors — especially those starting from medium to dark natural shades. It’s best suited to experienced DIY colorists or those willing to follow directions closely and perform strand tests; consult a professional if your hair is fragile, heavily processed, or if you need dramatic lift in a single session.
