Product Overview
The Directions Hair Lightening Kit – 40 Volume is a complete bleaching kit from the Directions / La Riche line, designed for higher lift (stronger lightening). Directions Hair Colour+1 The “40 Volume” denotes a 12% cream peroxide strength, which provides more aggressive lifting compared to lower volumes.
This kit is meant to lighten hair sufficiently so that it can later accept vivid, pastel, or otherwise light shades. It is typically used when more lift (i.e. more levels of lightening) is required.

Why Choose This Product?
- When your hair is relatively dark and you need more lift than a 30 Vol kit can provide, the 40 Vol version gives stronger lightening potential.
- The kit format ensures you have all necessary tools and aftercare materials in one package—no need to source extras.
- Its conditioning features help mitigate—but not eliminate—the stress and dryness that comes with bleaching.
- Because it belongs to the same brand line as your dyes / toners (if you use Directions / La Riche), color results and compatibility tend to align better.
