* Highly Corrosive: Household bleach is much harsher and more concentrated than the bleach used in hair dye. It can severely damage your hair, causing it to become brittle, break, and even melt.
* Unpredictable Results: The lightening process with household bleach is uncontrollable. You're likely to end up with patchy, uneven, and brassy results.
* Scalp Burns and Irritation: Household bleach can cause severe chemical burns on your scalp and skin.
* Health Risks: Inhaling the fumes can be harmful to your respiratory system, and contact with eyes can cause serious damage.
* Hair Loss: The damage caused by household bleach can lead to significant hair loss.
Instead, use professional hair bleaching products:
* These products are specifically formulated for hair, with built-in conditioners and developers to control the lightening process and minimize damage.
* If you're starting with black hair and want to go blonde, it's best to consult a professional hairstylist. They can assess your hair's condition, choose the right products, and use the correct techniques to achieve the desired result while minimizing damage.
*If you are going to use professional hair bleaching products yourself, do a strand test first, and follow all manufacturer instructions.*
