Brilio.net - Hair bleaching is a method that is widely used to get a lighter hair color by removing the natural pigment from the hair. This process involves the use of chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. Both substances work by opening the hair cuticle and destroying melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color.
While it can produce the desired color, the use of strong chemicals is not without risks. The bleaching process can cause hair to become dry, brittle, and lose its natural moisture, potentially causing serious damage.
When hair is bleached, the cuticles that protect the inner layer of hair are exposed and can experience structural damage. As a result, hair becomes more susceptible to damage, such as breakage, split ends, and dryness.
In addition, the chemicals in bleaching products can also damage the protein layer of the hair, causing the hair to lose its strength and elasticity. Hair that has gone through the bleaching process often looks dry and rough due to the loss of moisture and nutrients that are essential for healthy hair.
TikTok user with the account name @dotzybink shared the story of a girl who tried to fix her hair damaged by bleaching. Her efforts paid off because the before and after portrait of her hair looked so different.

"Her hair melted because of bleaching, I really can't bear to see it," wrote the account owner in the caption of the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net quoted on Friday (30/8).
At the beginning of the video, a girl is seen coming to a salon with patchy hair due to uneven bleaching. Not only that, the girl's hair is also damaged. The texture of her hair looks rough, brittle, and dry. Worse still, the texture of her hair looks like rice noodles that stick together and are tangled.

"Honestly, this is one of the clients with the most damaged and patchy hair that we have ever received. We can't bear to see her hair," said the account owner.
Finally, the account owner and salon owner decided to fix the girl's hair. First, he cut the damaged hair, such as the ends. Then, he tidied up the haircut to make it easier to fix.

After that, her hair began to be bleached in order to even out the bleaching color so that it would not be streaky. Furthermore, the girl asked for her hair to be colored like a Korean idol, by choosing a bright pink color. Well, because her hair was damaged and brittle, the salon owner carefully applied hair dye or polish to the girl's hair.
"The dyeing process is also done slowly, if the hair is pulled a little it will break off straight away," continued the salon owner.

Finally, the process of repairing the girl's damaged hair is complete. Now her hair looks neater and is no longer tangled even though it is colored. The reason is, the salon owner chose to use vegan hair dye that not only gives hair color, but also strengthens the client's hair shaft. In fact, if collaged, the before and after photos are really shocking.
