Which Lightener Deposits Temporary Color While It Lifts?

The answer is powder lighteners. They lift the natural pigment and lay down a temporary tint in the same step.

Neutral oil lighteners are built to do the opposite — strip color without adding any tone. "Color oil lighteners" and "quick lighteners" aren't the terms used for this simultaneous lift-and-deposit action; powder lighteners are the ones commonly reached for on jobs like balayage or highlight work where that extra tint is actually useful.
