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

Hair lightening
Hair coloring
Bleaching
Toning

The correct answer is: Hair lightening

Hair lightening is the process of removing natural or artificial color from hair by using a lightening agent. This can be achieved through bleaching, which is the process of chemically breaking down the hair's natural pigment, or through toning, which involves depositing color onto the hair to neutralize unwanted tones. Hair coloring, on the other hand, is the process of changing the hair's color by adding or enhancing pigments. While hair lightening can be achieved through bleaching or toning, these are just specific methods used to achieve the desired result of lightening the hair. Therefore, they are not interchangeable terms and hair lightening is the most accurate term for the overall process.
