Up to 7 Levels of Lift
Goldwell Light Dimensions SilkLift Clay Lightener delivers up to 7 levels of professional lift when used according to Goldwell's current technical instructions.
This gives colourists the lightening power required for a wide variety of blonding services while retaining the control expected from a specialist freehand formulation.
Designed for Freehand Techniques
SilkLift Clay has been developed specifically for freehand colour techniques, making it particularly useful for balayage and personalised lightening placements.
Rather than relying exclusively on foils, colourists can paint the product directly onto selected areas of the hair according to the desired pattern and finished result.
Ideal for Balayage
The clay-based consistency makes this lightener especially well suited to professional balayage services, where maintaining control over individual painted sections is important.
It allows the colourist to create soft, customised placement while tailoring the technique to the client's haircut, hair density and desired level of brightness.
Soft-to-Solid Formulation
Goldwell describes SilkLift Clay as having a soft-to-solid formulation. This allows the product to remain workable while being applied before developing the firmer consistency needed to support freehand placement.
This characteristic can make it easier to keep the lightener where it has been intentionally painted rather than allowing unnecessary movement into surrounding sections.
Kaolin Clay for a Silky Consistency
The formula contains Kaolin Clay, which contributes to the smooth, silky consistency of the mixed product.
This texture is designed to make preparation and application easier for the professional colourist, supporting smooth brush work and consistent product distribution.
Easy to Mix & Use
A lightener needs to offer both performance and practical usability. SilkLift Clay is formulated to mix easily into a workable consistency, allowing colourists to prepare the product efficiently before beginning their chosen technique.
Always follow Goldwell's current instructions for the correct preparation method, mixing ratio and compatible products.
BondPro+ Technology
SilkLift Clay contains BondPro+ Technology, designed to support the hair during the professional lightening process.
Because lightening can place significant stress on the hair structure, this technology forms an important part of Goldwell's approach to combining high-performance lift with consideration for the condition of the hair.
Anti-Yellow System
The formula also features Goldwell's Anti-Yellow System, designed to help deliver clearer and more even-looking results during lightening.
This is particularly useful when working towards clean blonde results, although the final tone will depend on the starting base, previous colour history and degree of lift achieved.
Clearer, More Even Results
Achieving an even lightening result depends on accurate sectioning, consistent application and careful product saturation.
SilkLift Clay's controlled texture and Anti-Yellow System are designed to support the professional throughout this process, helping create a cleaner foundation for any subsequent toning or colour work.
Ideal for Creative Colour Placement
Freehand lightening gives colourists the freedom to personalise placement rather than following a fixed pattern.
SilkLift Clay can be used to create everything from subtle surface brightness to more noticeable painted sections, depending on the technique and desired finished effect.
Professional Control Where You Need It
The clay formulation is particularly useful when precision is important, allowing the stylist to paint selected areas while maintaining greater control over where the lightener sits.
This makes it useful for creating bespoke blonde placements around the face, through the lengths or across specific areas requiring additional brightness.
Professional 400g Size
The 400g pack provides a practical quantity for professional salons and independent colourists carrying out regular balayage and freehand lightening services.
It is ideal for keeping within a professional colour collection alongside other Goldwell Light Dimensions products designed for different techniques and levels of lift.
