No DIY: “The process of bleaching is inherently damaging, as you are opening the cuticles and oxidising the melanin,” Dr Mahajan says. She advises against DIY bleaching kits. In sight of the current limitations, she recommends waiting until the salons reopen to bleach your hair.  

Spread it out: While Eilish lightened her hair over a duration of six weeks, Dr Mahajan says that Indian hair requires multiple sittings since the hair must be lightened by several levels. “Aim to lighten by two or three shades in every sitting. Use a sulphate-free hydrating shampoo for coloured hair,” she adds.
