Household bleach only ruins your fur. You HAVE to use salon grade peroxide or a similar off the shelf product in the ladies hair care isle.

Here, this is from Utah State:

In humans and other mammals, the pigments that give hair its color
are almost exclusively melanin.Melanins are a family of polymers that are formed as an end product during metabolism of the amino acid tyrosine.When hair is bleached with hydrogen peroxide, the melanin is oxidized in a process that changes the molecular structure in a way that the pigmentation is lost.Another result of the oxidation process is that the melanin polymer swells which in turn causes the hair shafts to swell.This is what causes hair to feel coarser after peroxide treatment.However,the idea that this thickening strengthens the hair is an illusion.The peroxide also weakens the bonds within hair shafts,causing hair to lose elasticity and to become brittle.After bleaching, hair becomes drier, more brittle, and often breaks off during routine brushing or combing.
