What bleach does to your hair?

It enters the hair shaft and dissolves with the hair’s melanin. Melanin is the key chemical element present in the hair which produces pigment. It gives color and texture to your natural hair. Bleach works on destroying all the color pigments from your hair. It leaves the hair without any natural pigment remaining in them. This destruction of pigment paves a way to lighten the hair.
Depending on the time bleach stays in your hair, it lightens the hair texture to a reddish or a yellow tone. If left longer, then it results in a platinum blonde shade.

It is performed to obtain the lightest shade possible and properly remove all-natural hair color.

Side effects of bleach and hair color:
In this trend-driven world where fashion is an integral part of our lives, using bleach and hair color is quite common among the generation. Though dermatologists have never supported using bleach and hair colors due to the severe long-term threats that they pose.

- Breaking: Dry hair is prone to breakage. It is always advised to take extra care of your hair for 2-3 weeks after getting your hair bleached. The bleach makes hair so fragile that you may observe hair breakage even while normal hair washing or combing.

- Thinning – Hair colors and bleach damage the scalp in the longer run. It leads to a reduction in hair density and thinning of hairlines. There are rare cases in which the customers do not complain about thin hair. Bleaching and dyeing work on the principle of breaking the natural flow of hair and bending it straight. This leads to thinning of natural hair. Dermatologists also believe that carelessness may lead to permanent hair loss in some cases.
