Avoiding Hair Damage from Peroxides

Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used in hair bleaching products to lighten hair by breaking down melanin. However, excessive use can weaken hair, making it prone to breakage and damage.

The effects of hydrogen peroxide go beyond just damaging the hair shaft. It can also lead to temporary hair loss and potentially cause long-term damage to hair follicles and the scalp, possibly resulting in permanent baldness. To maintain healthy hair, it’s advisable to minimize the use of peroxides in hair treatments.
