Question - can i use bleach that is used for
clothes on my hair?
---------------------------------------
Hi Misty!
dear by all means, no!
the bleach used for laundry probably ( i live in a
different country) is too much strong, not appropiate
for your pretty hair and surely will burn you and
your
face.
Use instead a commercial product for decolorize
hair or you can use instead maybe some 10% oxigenated
water with a few drops of ammonia.
Thanks for asking NEWTON!
