What is hair photobleaching?

Hair photobleaching involves using light to lighten or bleach the hair to a lighter shade. This process works by breaking down the melanin pigment in the hair shaft, which gives hair its color.

This technique is commonly used in hair salons to achieve highlights or to lighten the overall color of the hair. The most common method of hair photobleaching is using hydrogen peroxide or other lightening agents along with heat or UV light to accelerate the process.

It is important to note that hair photobleaching can cause damage to the hair if not done properly. It is recommended to have the process done by a professional to avoid any potential damage to the hair shaft. Additionally, regular maintenance and proper hair care are necessary to keep the hair in good condition after undergoing the photobleaching process.
