What is a common side effect of hair lightening?

Brittle hair
Hair growth
Oily hair
Thicker hair

The correct answer is: Brittle hair

Hair lightening is a chemical process that involves bleaching the hair to make it lighter. This process can damage the hair, making it dry and brittle. Hair growth and thicker hair are not common side effects of hair lightening. Oily hair may occur as a result of the scalp producing excess oils in response to the damage caused by the lightening process, but brittle hair is a more common side effect. Thus, the correct answer is brittle hair.
