Meiji Period

In the Meiji Period…?
I was wondering if they had bleach, or a form of bleach. See, I’m writing this story, but it’s obvious that the whole entire Japanese population during any time, are born with either black or brown hair. Well, all I’m wondering is if they have had any methods to change hair color during the Meiji Period.
The first hair dye was sold in Japan was 1905, which 39th year of Meiji era.
At that time, people in Japan didn’t like brighter color for their hair so the hair dye was to dye their hair blacker.
Before this product was released, they dyed their hair with “Ohaguro” which was put on their teeth (to look their teeth “black” for the sign of their marital status). It took about 10 hours to dye their hair blacker.
With this product, the time was shorten to 2 hours.
In 1918, a new type of hair dye was released, the time to dye their hair was cut to 30 mins total. (but still to blacker)
