Does Asian black hair sun-bleach?

[Elodea]

I'm Chinese-American and my hair sun-bleaches to some extent (depending on how much I've been in the sun, obviously, and probably on whether I wore a bun or not, but I've only been wearing my hair in buns frequently over the last year, so all the years before that it was down during the summer, when I'd be getting the most sun). I'm not sure if certain people's hair sun-bleaches faster than others if the amount of sun exposure is the same, but it's definitely possible it could vary from person to person.

My sister's hair is a bit sun-bleached; I noticed it recently when she was wearing the top layer/half of her hair in a ponytail, and the ends of that part were lighter than the under-layer that didn't get exposed to the sun as much.

What an interesting question. I happen to have a Chinese friend whose jet black hair was sun lightened dramatically, to a nice dark brown after a vacation to the equator just this summer. She said it was all sun damage, but it happened very fast, in about 1-2 months.

All of my hair looks black, but the bottom half of my hair is definitely lighter than the top, especially noticeable in the sunlight. It's like a soft brown black versus black. I have a few other Asian friends who experience this more noticeably (though on some of them, there's no visible difference, so there's that too!), and one of them dyes her hair jet black because she hates that.

I actually dislike it too, but it's not that big of a deal for me so I just let it be.

My ends are slightly lighter than my roots. My hair is naturally lighter for asian (japanese)s

I'm Asian, my hair isn't true black but it definitely sunbleaches. My cousins have black black hair and their hair also definitely sunbleaches. Especially noticeable in natural light their ends are definitely dark brown where the roots are black.

Any hair (hair is hair) can sun bleach.

I also think so. It is just, that Asian hair doesn't get blond when wheathering, so it is not so noticeable in brown shades. Also not all Asians have jet black hair but also dark or middle brown shades. When these do wheather it is also more hilights than strong contrasts. I guess Asians will notice it stronger than light-haired outsiders.

Not asian, but I think that it does.
