Color Correction 

If you have been coloring your hair for some time and want to go back to your natural color and tone consult a professional hairdresser . Hair that has been tinted darker than its normal shade will have to be color - stripped with a bleach bath until the desired color is achieved . Hair that has been bleached or highlighted will need to be re-pigmented and then tinted to match  the original color . For best result , all these processes must be carried out in a salon where the technicians have access to a variety of specialist products .

Bleaching 

Strictly speaking , anything that lightens the hair bleaches it , but in the present context bleaching refers specifically to any treatment that removes color from the hair - rather than adding color , which  is the purpose of permanent colorants. These are several different types of bleach on the market and they range from the mild brighteners that lift hair color a couple of shades to the more powerful mixes that completely strip hair of its natural color 

Bleaching is quite difficult to do and is best left to a professional hairdressers . If misused it can be very harsh and drying on the hair . To get the best results make sure your hair is in optimum condition  prior to bleaching . Once the hair has been bleached , regular intensive conditioning treatment essential .
