<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Bleaching is more effective at removing color
Bleaching will remove several shades of color from hair, because it completely strips out pigment. Hair can be immediately colored again after bleaching. Bleaching hair is very drying, and is not a wise option for damaged hair. Hairstylists may not even proceed if your hair is already too damaged.
On the Other: Stripping is not as effective as bleaching
Stripping is the process of removing hair color with a color remover. Unlike bleach, color removers only take off the top few layers of color. As a result, hair color removers are not as effective as bleach, and may require several treatments.
Bottom Line
Bleach treatment is very damaging, but it normally requires only one application. A single treatment with color remover isn't typically as damaging as bleach; however, treatments may have to be repeated to achieve the desired look. Both methods can be damaging to hair, but if you only need to lighten your hair slightly, color removers are the best option.
