Sunlights Kaolin Based Balayage Lightener achieves up to 8+ levels of lift with no heat, and was designed specifically for the Balayage Artist. Unlike predominantly silica (sand) based foil lighteners, the kaolin (clay) in Sunlights provides the optimal consistency and saturation for painting hair. For best results, pair Sunlights with Suncrème 40vol or 50vol High Lift Developer!
