ExplainerCan bleach ruin curls?
Bleached hair can also become straight, curly, frizzy, or insanely brittle and the texture can continue to change the more you wash it. So even if your natural curls are there the day of your bleach, they might be gone tomorrow, no matter how much Argan Oil you're using.

Bleaching itself will not directly cause hair loss… but it makes hair loss much more likely to happen. Normal activities like brushing your hair or even sleeping will start to cause more breakage as your hair becomes more damaged. Bleaching and highlighting cause damaged hair, but they do not cause hair to fall out.
