Bleached hair
Bleached hair needs a plan
beyond colour day.
Bleaching lightens pigment through chemical processing and can change porosity, strength, softness and manageability. Care should reflect the lightening history and any future colour plans.
●
What the concern means
Bleached hair has been chemically lightened. Its condition varies with starting hair, technique, lift, frequency and aftercare.
●
Common causes of dryness or fragility
Chemical processing may be compounded by heat, overlapping applications, friction and limited conditioning.
●
What the hair may need
A stylist may consider repair-focused, hydration or strengthening care after assessment.
●
Professional salon approach
Review lightening history, elasticity, breakage and future colour goals before treatment or additional bleach.
●
Daily home approach
Cleanse gently, condition consistently, reduce high heat and detangle with minimal force.
Questions, answered
What people
ask
Why does bleached hair feel dry?
Lightening can affect the hair fibre and increase roughness or porosity, while heat and handling may add further stress.
How should bleached hair be maintained?
Use consistent conditioning, gentle handling, lower heat and service-compatible products.
Should bleached hair receive professional treatment?
A professional assessment is useful when hair feels fragile, tangles more or is being prepared for another lightening service.
