What is the partial or total removal of natural or artificial color from the hair called?

  1. Hair lightening

  2. Hair darkening

  3. Hair bleaching

  4. Hair coloring

The correct answer is: Hair lightening

Lightening, darkening, and coloring all involve changing the natural or artificial color of the hair. However, bleaching specifically refers to the process of removing color from the hair, whether it be partially or entirely. This can be achieved through the use of chemical agents or natural methods, like lemon juice or sun exposure. While lightening, darkening, and coloring can all be achieved through bleaching, bleaching can only result in the removal of color.
