Bleaching Your Hair

Bleaching your hair at home is probably the worst mistake you can make considering there are so many ways it can go wrong.

Emaly Baum, a colorist based in New York City, explained why to HuffPost, describing bleaching your hair as “the most intense chemical process you can do.”

She explains, "To do it at home, there’s just so much that can go wrong. You can make your hair orange, it can fall out, and all sorts of terrible things can happen."

Leaving the bleach to the professionals is your best bet.

Baum continues, "I think doing it [dyeing your hair at home] in general is a huge mistake and I would never recommend doing it."
