What does bleaching mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of hair bleaching is chemical in nature because it has to strip the hair off its natural hair colour or pigment (hair colour is determined by the quantity of the pigment melanin we have in our hair) in order to lighten it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is chemical in nature because of the chemicals the bleach contains \u2013 mostly ammonia and peroxide. An oxidation<\/a> process takes place in the hair, causing its irreversible chemical reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some of us who have lesser melanin in our hair<\/a> and tend to have lighter hair shades like blonde, silvery, platinum or light brown, while some of us have an abundance of melanin in the hair making the hair dark coloured like black or dark brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when a person has a darker hair shade, the bleach will have to be left on the hair for a longer time, as compared to those with lighter hair colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
