Hello! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fan of bleach? Me too! What does bleach <\/em>do<\/em> to your hair?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n During the bleaching process, alkaline agents cause your hair to swell and open the cuticles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the cuticles expand, these alkaline agents penetrate the hair\u2019s cortex and dissolve the natural pigments, known as melanin which lightens the colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This process also breaks down the natural fatty acids in hair that can leave it brittle, damaged and unhealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca7 Five Tips To Rehydrate Your Hair After Bleaching <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The first three <\/strong>\ud83d\udca7<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the first three weeks after bleach, hair is weaker and more susceptible to breakage, and this is especially the case for wet hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To protect hair during this window <\/em>wash hair less often<\/em><\/strong> and break away from chemical-filled shampoo<\/a> that strips the cuticle of even more of the natural oils you need for hair health, strength and shine. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Go deep on moisture <\/strong>\ud83d\udca7<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bleaching leaves hair drier, stripping hair of its natural moisture, fatty acids and oils. To bring back a healthy texture you need to replace what it has lost to rebuild moisture, strength, and shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
