How Does Bleach Work?
If you want to change the colour of your hair, oftentimes, you have to bleach it first. In order for colour to take, your hair needs to be light enough for the dye to take effect. Bleach works to break down the melanin in your hair and therefore remove the it’s colour and lighten it. Bleach generally makes the hair turn a light yellow/sometimes orangey colour. This process, however, can be very damaging to your hair. In order to make sure your hair doesn’t begin to break or fall out after having bleached it, it is important to make sure you have thick, strong and daily undamaged hair to begin with.
How Does Bleach Affect Your Hair?
Bleach breaks down different proteins and melanin in your hair, and it therefore weakens the hair strand. Considering bleach affects the literal chemical makeup of your hair, it really can damage it if it isn’t done by a professional. It can also cause a lot of frizziness and a huge change in the texture of your hair. But, if you take care of your hair properly before and after it has been dyed, you can maintain your hair’s health and maintain its colour.
