Will I Have Hair Fall If I Use Clorox Bleach In Hair?
i put clorox bleach in my hair to try to lighten it, i only left it in for 6 minutes, shampooed vigorously when i was done and conditioned. This is the only time I have done it and wont again, my hair has been dyed a lot in the past. Is my hair going to fall out?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Hair colouring, hair bleaching and styling procedures can all make the hair shaft brittle and can potentially cause hair fall. Even if you have left it for a short contact, the damage to your hair shaft occurs during the process of bleaching its colour. This could potentially lead to hair fall.
You could use a good conditioner which could help prevent brittleness and seal the cuticles.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
