bleached hair

Artificially blonde locks

Hair that has been chemically lightened, typically using hydrogen peroxide or similar agents to strip natural pigment.

The process can range from subtle highlights to dramatic platinum effects.

Bleached hair requires maintenance as roots grow in: Her dark roots were showing against the bleached ends.

The look carries various associations—from beach culture to punk aesthetics to high fashion.
