--------------------
Bleach (usually hydrogen peroxide) mixed with ammonia, will open the shaft of the hair. The bleach will oxidize the melanin (there are two types; eumelanin and pheomelanin) and the hair will become a yellowish color (this is because it is the natural color of keratin)
-do some basic research on keratin and the different types of melanin to understand why some people get that reddish/orange colour
-------------------
I just want to say, bleach and ammonia mixed together, will kill you.
The fumes are horrible and you will not walk out of the bathroom.
NEVER MIX THEM!
