When it comes to choosing between powder bleach and cream bleach, it’s not just about what you like—it’s about what actually works best for the hair in front of you. As a stylist, knowing the difference can be the key to stunning color results, healthy hair, and happy clients. In this guide, we’ll break down the pros, cons, and ideal use cases for both types of bleach, so you can make the smartest choice for every service.
What Is Powder Bleach?
Powder bleach, also known as bleaching powder or powder lightener, is a strong decolorizing agent used to lift natural hair pigment effectively. When mixed with an oxidant developer, it creates a chemical reaction that removes melanin from the hair.
Best used for:
-
High-lift bleaching
-
Full-head lightening
-
Pre-lightening for vivid colors
-
Balayage & highlights
Recommendation: Yogi Care Bleaching Powder
What Is Cream Bleach?
Cream bleach is a creamy, pre-mixed formula that combines bleaching agents with conditioning ingredients. It provides a gentler lightening experience, especially on fine, damaged, or sensitive hair.
Best used for:
-
Mild, controlled lift
-
Sensitive scalps
-
Touch-ups & facial bleaching
-
First-time bleaching clients
- Recommendation: Yogi Care Bleaching Cream

-
9% (30 Vol): High-lift for darker hair
-
12% (40 Vol): Maximum lift, use with caution
