Bleached knots are achieved through a chemical process in which a hair lightening product is applied to the hair knots only, lifting the hair color by anywhere from 2 to 6 shades. This technique enhances the natural appearance of the hair system by making the knots less visible, creating the illusion that the hair is growing directly from the scalp.
Benefits of Bleached Knots
Natural Appearance:
- Bleached knots make the hair appear as though it is growing from your scalp, providing a more natural look.
Undetectable Hairline:
- Hair replacement systems designed with bleached knots hide the hairline completely, making it seem as if the hair is growing naturally from the scalp. These systems are 100% undetectable.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Natural Look: Provides a more natural-looking hairline.
- Scalp Illusion: Makes the hair appear as though it is growing directly from your scalp.
Cons:
- Weakens Knots: Bleaching weakens the knots, which can make the hair shed faster.
- Limitations on Dark Hair: The knots on jet black hair (colors 1 and 1C) cannot be bleached effectively.
Tips for Bleaching Knots
Not Suitable for Skin Poly Bases:
- Skin poly bases cannot undergo the bleaching process.Â
Dark Hair Limitations:
- For very dark hair colors (1 and 1C), bleaching the knots is not effective. These colors are too deep to be lifted significantly, so the knots may still be visible.

By understanding these factors, you can make an informed decision about whether bleached knots are the right choice for your hair system.
