Bleaching Hair Brown: Why It Doesn't Work & How to Achieve Brown Tones

You can't bleach your hair brown.

Here's why:

* Bleaching lightens hair. It removes the natural pigments (melanin) in your hair, making it lighter.

* Brown is a darker color than most natural hair colors. To achieve brown hair, you would need to add pigment, not remove it.

Here's what you can do to get brown hair:

* Hair dye: Use a permanent hair dye specifically designed for brown hair. This will deposit color into your hair.

* Toner: If you have already bleached your hair, you can use a toner to neutralize brassiness and add a brown tint.

* Glaze: A glaze can add shine and a subtle brown hue to your hair.

Important Note: Bleaching can damage your hair, so it's important to consult with a professional stylist before attempting to bleach your hair at home.
