What is the term for the partial or total removal of natural pigment or artificial color from the hair?

Close Shaving
Lightening
Pityriasis
Room Temperature Processing

The correct answer is: Lightening

Lightening is the term for the partial or total removal of natural pigment or artificial color from the hair. This process is achieved by using hair lighteners or bleach products, which contain chemicals that lift and remove the existing color from the hair strands. Close shaving, pityriasis, and room temperature processing are not accurate terms for describing the removal of hair color. Close shaving refers to removing hair with a razor, while pityriasis is a scalp condition that causes flaking of the skin. Room temperature processing does not involve any chemical products and therefore would not be effective in removing hair color.
