you girls that have dyed/bleached your hair HELP

[Empired]

can't really help with the damaged hair at the moment, but you said you wash your hair every day? yeah it does damage your hair, but if you dilute your conditioner and shampoo it stops any damage being done. i mean when you buy a new shampoo/conditioner, take out half and put it in another empty bottle and then fill half-full bottles up with water n mix it about. i've never tried this but i read it in a bobbi brown book

plus it's cheaper cos you're using less (A)

I never actually ever bleached my hair but if it's like that like a bit damaged, Normally it would have to be cut, and etc so that it can grow out all better and healthy, If you have dead or damaged ends. Or they do have some special conditioners for like repairing damaged hair, Not sure if those work though as I never used them before but you can have a try ! I'm sure there are some that are a bit inexpensive ! But I would try and do it as soon as possible wheather it's the cut or conditioning because when its like that it doesn't tend to grow until it's all repaired

i wont be cutting it but thanks

You could try this; http://www.boots.com/en/Pantene-Smoo...100ml_1244638/
I once used a sample sachet and I could feel the difference in my hair when I washed it off, really good!

Have you tried putting the deep conditioner into your hair, wearing a shower cap and then blasting it for 5 minutes with your hairdryer? I do this and it works a lot better than if I just leave it on for a few minutes.

EDIT: Henara Treatment Wax is also a great conditioner, it's sold in Bodycare for about £3!

i'm not a fan of pantene but i'm desperate so may try it, thanks. what like without rinsing it out?
and cool i may buy the henara treatment wax today

i just had a thought


use normal conditoner but like, leave it on for 10 minutes before you wash it off, makes it much smoother

and might just be split ends so maybe get a trim :/


idk how useful this might be but if it is an end problem - http://makeupandbeauty.com/split-hai...ies-treatment/ so very cheap alternatives (the beer one looks interesting LOL)

IM NOT GETTING IT CUT BUT THANKS

when i bleached my hair i was told to use protein products, not sure if that was a scam to buy more expensive stuff or what lol but i used stuff from the hairdresser. you could google for cheap protein conditioners, not really sure what to look for but that was my advice

hahaha, maybe i'll read the backs of conditioners and see what it says, thanks.

Try some different shampoos and conditioners. I find that Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner (if left on for a good 3-5 minutes) makes your hair amazing afterwards. My little sister uses it after messing her hair up like you did

Lovely pictures though, really love your hair

i don't like you, also i don't like the smell of aussie products

Mines been constantly bleached for about a year but never really been like that but I did used to get it cut every 6 weeks. You will probably have to get that trimmed because it looks really damaged. Have you tried conditioning masks on your hair at all? They are quite cheap so maybe try them before cutting it. Do you use sun in spray whilst outside? The sun can naturally do a lot of damage more to bleached hair than normal hair I was told by my hairdresser

no i've a heat protection spray thats only for before straightening but i rarely use it, i know it looks quite damaged but it looks worse in that photo than it is, i'm fairly certain i can fix it without having to cut it. when i deep condition my hair i literally can't step outside cos it looks disgusting and i know i'm washing it out properly, it's all too rich for my hair to handle

i may actually try this thank you, my fav advice so far hehe

plus rep to everyone

aussi helps a LOT!
it's quite a lot but over the last year i's been on offer a lot (like 2 for £10). the 5 min miracle moist conditioner helped my hair so much! (i got it bleached bathed twice and dyed ginger so it was in pretty bad condition)

oops didnt read the post above, there's also stuff that body shop do and lush where you leave it on. i don't like it the rainforest one cos it makes my hair oily but it's worth a try. it does help with the split ends thing

and edit even more, if you were willing to splash out a little bit then i think it's paul mitchell skinny serum is reallllllly good! you only need a teeny weeny bit and it makes your hair so nice

i've had half my hair bleached since june and haven't had a problem with the dryness/damaged up until last week

my hairs naturally straight and when i blow dry it it should come out like this
(HAD TO STRAIGHTEN IT TO ACHIEVE WHAT IT USED TO LOOK LIKE)



but now it comes out like this



i don't use any products or anything because my hairs quite thin and fine and it just make it look greasy or flatter than it already is

can anybody whos dyed/bleached their hair and had this problem recommend anything i will owe you EVERYTHING
i simply cannot go on with hideous hair like this pre straightening

i should add that im on a tight budget cos i'm extremely poor and i'm not cutting it ever again so count that out
