Helen asked in Beauty & StyleHair · 1 decade ago

When people bleach their hair do they use the bleach you put in the sink?

...or is 'bleach' just a term for blonde hair dye..?

    No it is hair bleach. It is not like Clorox, that will do nothing to your hair except maybe fry it out. You can go to a beauty store, I know we have Sally's but I don't know if they do where you live, but go to a place like that and ask for hair bleach and they will show you where to go. Bleach is basically used to get lighter hair. I am a blonde and I once put black strips in and all underneath and I had to use bleach to strip the black out so I could get my hair to blonde. Some people use bleach to go from black to brown or from black to blonde. But no it is not sink bleach it is special bleach used for hair.

    Those that do would end up in hospital. Domestic bleach is far too strong, even diluted, to put on hair or skin for that matter. As you say 'bleach' for hair is an entirely different chemical and bears no comparison with household bleach.

    Don't listen to people that have said it's the stuff you use in the sink lol, that would be extremely dangerous and burn your scalp off!

    No, it's completely different to that sort of bleach, you can find it along side most hair products in stores.

    no no no, please dont attempt to use sink bleach on your hair

    its a hair bleach they use, which is different from a blonde hair dye

    hair bleach is available in the same aisle as the hair dyes in supermarkets/chemists ect
