Why do most people look great with bleached hair?

It might be a different kind of bleach (as in, it turns their hair a slightly different color). There's not that much actual difference between light gray and white, but you can sure tell the difference! It could also be that it just works better on their skin tone. You have lighter skin than most of those people, so it doesn't have the same effect. For instance: me and my mom. My mom cannot wear green, she'll look so dead. If I wear green, it brings out my eyes. We're not that different, but the slightest change can look bad.
