(More customer reviews)Just wanted to leave a rating/review for this since there aren't any.
To start - I used this in conjunction with the 30 volume developer to lift/partially remove built up henna (the pure stuff, not the kind with metallic salt additives). Henna users know exactly how permanent henna is - nearly impossible to remove.
A few years back I went to a high end salon - the stylist claimed she'd worked with henna before and could lift it partially - the reality was she had no clue, lied, and then fried my entire head in a one-step process which resulted in bozo-red roots, and a muddy dark length. Then she got mad at me when I was upset about the result, claiming that was exactly what I'd asked for. I've never tried a salon again for anything to do with color.
I eventually chopped my hair short once my roots grew out enough, and had mostly my natural color, but caved and started henna'ing again.
A few years later, enter goldwell silk lift bleach and developer. I was looking for something reputed to be gentler on the hair/skin, as I have fairly sensitive skin. I gave this a shot, and in 2 very short sessions (about 15 minutes each), I had significantly pulled the henna up (while keeping it off the grown out roots). Damage was minimal (although 1-2 inches of pre-split ends will eventually be trimmed off). I'll be using Goldwell's Elumen to tone the length next to bring my hair length to a very very close approximation of my natural color (why I kept the bleach off the roots - need a color to compare with).
I'm pretty excited about the Elumen because it doesn't cause my skin to react the way most normal dyes do (which is why I started using henna in the first place). I'll probably be posting a review on Elumen dye next, once I finish toning my hair :-)
All in all - I'm highly pleased with this product. It might seem like it costs a lot, but you get a lot of it for the money - and when comparing it to the cost of a hair salon (where I've never had a positive chemical treatment experience), it really is a good price :-)
