No, but it makes a great sunscreen, especially for the face.
(I was joking, please don't spray bleach into your face!)

No. Chlorine bleach, which is what household bleach is, is not used to lighten hair, and may cause burns on your skin or scalp or get in your eyes. Peroxide lightens hair, but not the over-the-counter peroxide you buy in the first-aid department either--the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in that is not high enough.
You must have at least a 10% peroxide solution in order to bleach hair. The product "Sun In" is cheap and easy to use and contains the correct amount of peroxide. It comes in a spray bottle.
Pure lemon juice (not concentrated juice) can also used. You can squeeze lemon juice directly on the strands you wish to lighten, and then expose those strands to direct sunlight and they will bleach out slightly. It takes longer to use lemon juice but it works without harming anything! It won't burn you or your hair and it smells good.

Household bleach does not do anything except burn and clean!
Peroxide (for hair) lightens hair. You can try a product called Sun In, available at major stores and easy to use or even lemon juice will lighten hair in the sun.

I wouldnt suggest doing that. Put lemon juice on your hair and then go out in the sun or under the hairdryer. It is a natural bleach.

no use peroxide if you want to, dilute with water Bleach is to strong, unless your going for the slightly burnt look.

You could try but i wouldn't. It's up to you but if I were going to do it I would buy a proper make dying kit from a reputable shop.

But perhaps lemon juice might be a better idea ;-)
