No, it does not.

-------------------

Actually, yes, it can. If we are talking about household bleach. Bleach is actually a solution of some different chemicals, including sodium hypochlorite, which is a bleaching agent, which has no effect on hair other than the oxidization of the pigment in the hair (melanin) leading to the bleaching of the hair. However, household bleaches also commonly contain lye, or sodium hydroxide. It is added to speed up the reaction of bleach. And lye has the ability to decompose the protein of hairs, so basically, it can dissolve hair. That is why lye is a major component of drain cleaners, it dissolves hair build-up. Usually laundry bleach contains less lye, as lye can degrade the fibers of clothing.

Can Clorox bleach your hair?

Don't do it. Clorox isn't the type of bleach for hair. If you want to bleach your hair, go to the store, and buy hair lightener. It might be expensive, but you should do that instead. Here's why Clorox isn't good for bleaching hair. The main ingredient in Clorox is sodium hypochlorite, also known as chlorine bleach. It is also a common ingredient in drain openers and is used to help dissolve hair. Chlorine can lighten hair or turn it an odd color, but it also makes it finer. Your hair will end up fried if you bleach it with Clorox. Or your hair may be completely dissolved and you may even end up with chemical burns. Therefore, don't do it. It's good for white fabrics, but not for hair.


How do you bleach your hair with Clorox bleach?

Don't do it! If you bleach your hair with Clorox, your hair will completely fall out. It's not the correct bleach to use. I suggest to get a box bleach (you can get at any drugstore). Unless you want no hair/straw hair then don't do it.
