It's pretty bad, it really kills your hair. What's important is that you don't keep repeatedly bleaching it, and if you deep condition & take very good care of it then it should be fine.

It'a very damaging. If your going to do it make sure your hair is in very good condition and there are no split ends! My friend repeatedly bleached her hair and the ends started falling off.

It can damage so much. My friend just bleaches t and dyes it pink for cancer and shaves her head so it's not too damaging if your gettin rid of it.

Pretty much what bleaching your hair does is strips everything from your hair strand (protein moisture etc)

If I have extremely oily hair could it be beneficial?

Bleaching is bad, but if you have extremely healthy hair and its virgin hair, it's not that bad. Just trim the ends off afterwards and it's fine. Trust me, it's really not as bad as it sounds. In the last 5 months I've bleached my hair 5 times. I think your hair will be fine. Mine is.

I bleached my hair once. My first time. I think my hair looked fine. I had split ends after but my hair wasn't dry or anything. But also my hair has always been good to me and vice versa. I maybe have blow dried my hair 10 times my whole life. I rarely use heat on it, so it's pretty healthy.

Everyone's hair is different. Yes, there will be damage, but a great stylist knows how to minimize it and there are fab products out there to keep it looking great..as well as home remedies like Organic, Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut oil. Also...lift levels vary and so that's going to effect the outcome. Microtrims are crucial to keeping hair looking great. I would consult a stylist who could discuss options and care/maintenance with you prior to any processing.

If its the first time bleaching and your hair is in good condition you shouldnt have a problem unless your hair is black or you bleach it repeatedly.

If your hair is very oily it is probably coming from your scalp so no bleaching wouldnt really help that. but if your hair is very limp n has no body n doesn't style well then a little damgae wouldnt hurt. my hair styles so much better when it is blonde then any other color because my hair is so soft. and bleach is not that damaging when done right unless your hair is damaged or dry in the first place.

I didn't have problems at te start when I bleached as it was on fresh hair but I bleached it for more than a yer and eventually it killed my hair it's been about a year and its still growing out. It did give me hair more volume and better texture. I miss it so much and would love to go back but it jut ruined the quality :( x

I bleached my hair twice in two days and stripped it a few days before and my hair was fine,

It depends on who is doing the bleaching. If you get it done by someone who knows what volume to use and takes it off when it's light enough and don't let it over process, it's not too bad. Bleach over bleach isn't good though
