Step 1. Mix
In a plastic bowl, mix the pre-measured Powder and Developer until smooth and fully blended. Use only the components included in this single-use kit. Do not mix with other lightening products or mix multiple kits in the same bowl at once.
Step 2. Test
Before full application, it is essential to perform a strand test on hair and to complete a patch test on skin if applying to the scalp.
For a strand test, apply a small amount of lightener to a section of hair on the back/underneath and process for 30-50 minutes. Rinse and assess the condition of the hair. If it feels overly stretchy or cotton-like, do not proceed.
For a patch test, apply a small amount to the inside of your forearm and process for 30--50 minutes. If irritation occurs, avoid scalp application.
Step 3. Prep
Start with clean and completely dry hair. Always wear gloves before you begin the application process.
Step 4. Apply
Section hair into four parts by dividing down the middle and across from crown to ear. Using your hands or a brush, begin applying the GDY Lightening Kit to the bottom and middle sections first, starting about 1 inch away from the roots. Fully saturate each section working up the head.
Pro Tip: Heat from the scalp causes lightener to process faster. Apply to the roots last, once the rest of the hair is about two levels away from your desired color to help avoid hot roots. Fully saturate the hair and cover with it plastic wrap to keep the lightener from drying out. Protect your hairline and ears with shea butter, coconut oil, or thick conditioner.
Step 5. Process
Allow hair to process for up to 50 minutes, checking every 5-10 minutes until your desired lift is achieved.
Step 6. Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then shampoo and condition until all product is removed.
Step 7. Wait
If your hair has not reached your desired level of lightness after 50 minutes, wait at least 24 hours before lightening again.
Step 8. Color
Before applying GDY Semi-Permanent Hair Color, ensure hair is completely dry. Then, you're ready for color!

Yeeted my mistaken low expectations out of the universe!
I'll be upfront. I do not have any high expectations, for any lightening products available to non-professionals (like myself). They're all about the same tier, as far as I remember at least. However, it HAS been a WHILE since I ever took bleach to my own hair with my own hands, as I normally leave ...

I had high hopes
so I have used good dye young color before and it was nice. but this fried my hair and destroyed my ends. I made sure everything was fully saturates but the lighted areas still came out super patchy

Love
Ive used this before and love how it lightens within the time frame. I def will vouch for this brand!
Incredible!
I haven't bleached my hair in ages, I wanted to do something besides a typical bleach box kit from a drug store and happened to stumble upon this! I couldn't believe how well it lifted, I will preface by saying I have a buzzcut, so it was very even. I did leave it on for about twenty minutes, and it wasn't overly brassy afterwards, it did have a very slight yellow tint, but my lighting is also fairly poor. Easily the blest lightening kit I've ever used!
best hair lightener on the market tbh
I'm so impressed with how well this worked on lightening my naturally black hair WITHOUT damaging it. My hair still feels sooo healthy and it gave me the perfect base for my new shade. If ur on the fence i say go for it!!
Now I Get All The Hype…
I started using a cream lightener years ago and havent looked back. Then I tried this stuff! I had used their color before, but only when my hair had been pre-lightened. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! It was extremely effective on everything! And I mean EVERYTHING. It lightened it all extremely well with just a single application without any brassy tones at the root or muted, pastel leftovers where the blue and green had been. I'll be a repeat customer for sure.
Obsessed
This kit is the easiest, quickest and most gentle hair lightening kit ive ever used. 1000% recommend. Just remember, it is still bleach… so follow the instructions and be careful!

How do i pull out some of the very dark brown color to make it a more natural brown? Coloring took too dark in the front of my head
- Asked by L
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageThank you for reaching out. To achieve a lighter brown over natural or un-died hair, apply the lightener where you want the hair to appear brighter, starting an inch away from your scalp. Once the hair is a level darker than your end goal, apply the lightener to the roots. Heat from the scalp and new keratin protein makes the lightener process faster at your roots. Hair also has an underlying pigment at each level, so depending on your hair goals, you may need to tone it to remove some of the brassiness. If you are looking to remove other hair dye, please send us an email at help@gooddyeyoung.com and our lead stylist can assist you with custom advice based on your starting point.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
How soon can you swim in a chlorine or salt water pool once the hair has been bleached or dyed?
- Asked by Chantelle
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageThanks for reaching out. Our in-house stylist recommends waiting a week for both. This will give the hair time to hydrate before being dried out again by a pool. However, there’s always a possibility for a chlorinated pool to change the color of the lightener, and turn it green. This happens because the chlorine oxidizes any copper in the pool and has the ability to absorb into the hair. If this occurs, do a detoxifying shampoo, then a purple shampoo, then a hair mask to replenish moisture.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this bleach or just color lifter? Im planning on dyeing my hair purple but I dont wanna use bleach, if possible
- Asked by A
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageThe GDY Lightening Kit is a pre-measured kit with a 25-volume Crème Developer with one packet of Powder Lightener (hair bleach). In general, virgin hair (hair that has never been pre-lightened or dyed) is the strongest and least porous hair and therefore, color payoff will be more subtle. We understand pre-lightening is not the path for everyone for many different reasons. If you have dark hair, here are some colors that may work for you. We always recommend a strand test, to ensure your results meet your expectations. Level 7: Make It Happen will be a soft, dark purple. PPL Eater will create a purple-tinted brown. Level 6: Make It Happen will create a dark dusty purple. Nasty will add a dark, blue-ish purple tint. Level 5: Make It Happen will create a dark brown, deep tinted purple.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
If I have previously bleached hair/highlights but want to use this to re-bleach, will I be able to remove it with red in my hair? I plan on switching from a dark red to a bright red.
- Asked by Pink Fruit
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageFor subtle shifts, like dark red to light red, we recommend a bleach wash. To achieve this, mix together the full Lightening Kit + 3-4 pumps of shampoo + refill the developer bottle with water. Apply to damp hair. Let this process until the desired lightness is achieved, but keep it under 50 minutes for hair health. We hope this helps you achieve your desired results and dream hair! You can always reach out to us directly for personalized advice. Happy DYEing!Was this answer helpful to you
