Pop sensation Lady Gaga’s practise of bleaching her hair leaves her with a “burning” sensation on her scalp every time.

The ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker, who is a brunette originally, makes a lot of effort to maintain her signature blonde hue and Gaga shared her pain with fans during a colouring session on Tuesday, reported Contactmusic.

In a series of posts on her Twitter page, the 25-year-old wrote, “Bleaching my hair! Scalp burning like a champ. A real blonde loves a peroxide shot.

“Note to bleached blondes who are toning: do not fear the sting of toner! Wait five minutes and it’s just so painful your scalp will numb.”
