But repeated bleaching increases your hair's ability to absorb — but not retain — moisture (which, in science speak, is known as “porosity”), leading to damaged, dry hair that may feel porous and brittle.
How many times can you bleach your hair before it falls out?Bleach is a very harsh chemical and should not be used more than once in a 24-hour period. Serious damage can occur to the hair if it is applied more than once in a day. This includes breakage or severe damage that may cause permanent colour loss.
