Brilio.net - Hair bleaching is a chemical process that aims to remove the natural pigment of the hair, resulting in a much lighter color. This technique is often done as a preparation for coloring hair with more striking or pastel colors.
While bleaching can provide a drastic and fashionable look, this process carries major risks to hair health if not done correctly.
It is important to note that bleaching works by opening the hair cuticle and breaking down the natural pigments in the hair shaft. This process causes the hair to lose its natural moisture and protective oils, making it more brittle, dry, and prone to breakage.
If done too often or without adequate care, bleached hair can also experience permanent damage, such as split ends, rough texture, or even large amounts of hair loss.
As experienced by TikTok user with the account name @bellanjabulanan, who experienced hair damage due to bleaching. Worse, the texture of her hair became crispy like a coconut broom. Even so, she managed to restore her hair health with great struggle.

The story began when the account owner wanted to change her hair color to greenish ombre. However, at the beginning of dyeing her hair, she did not use any bleaching at all. Until finally, she had a desire to have colorful hair that involved the use of bleaching in it.

Instead of giving up and stopping bleaching, she dyed her hair again, until her hair became broken, dry, rough, and fell out. Well, because the damage was quite severe, she finally decided to cut her hair shorter. Not only that, she also changed her hair color back to black.
After that, the account owner also started to care for her hair by using various hair care products. Starting from anti-hair loss shampoo, hair mask, conditioner, hair serum, and hair tonic.
Finally, after routinely using various hair care, her hair became healthier, thicker, and her bald part started to grow baby hair. Not only that, her hair also felt smoother, easier to manage, and naturally shiny.
