Answer 1

You've really damaged your hair... but luckily your hair is one of those things that grow out... :-)

To try and repair your hair as best as possible try:

1) Get a hot oil treatment. These treatments are heated and then put into wet hair. Make sure you spread it in really well and then let it sit for about 15 minutes. You can also try this with cholesterol. It will restore a lot of vitamins to your hair and make it softer and more naturle.

2) Start using shampoo and conditionr that are made especially for dyed hair and if you blow dry your hair, use a mouse that is made for delicate hair.

3) Get layers cut into your hair, a good stylist can do wonders with layers.

:-) Good luck

Answer 2

You've done irreversible damage to your hair. DO NOT do any more chemical treatments to your hair. You can't "repair" the damage that's been done....but you can try and save what isn't damaged.
INTENSIVE conditioning treatments is the best way. Put a intensive conditioner in your hair, one from the drug store is fine....use lots....just work it in....very gently, your hair is in a very damaged condition, pile your hair on the top of your head and put a plastic bag around it, this helps keep the hair warm and therefor absorb more conditioner (do it in the evening when your sitting at home)....leave it on for as long as you can, minimum 15 mins.....the longer you can leave it in, the better, rinse it out with warm water. Do this once or twice a week until your hair starts to feel healthier. It will probably take awhile as you've damaged it over time and it's going to take time to "fix" it as well.

Try and stay away from bleach (forever if you can....that stuff is so harsh!) and maybe think about getting some highlights or just lightening your hair only a shade or two as this uses much weaker chemicals.
But, until your hair starts to feel and look good again.....DO NOT do any more color changes or you risk the very real possibility of having ALL your hair break off.

BTW....I am a licensed hairdresser.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Cut it all to 4 inches and start again. It messed it up proper and there is no repairing it now. Don't like the new style, buy a hat until grows a little but it is only hair, your personality shines through even if had none so lighten up and live and learn.
Oh, I did the same once, but from blonde to burgandy to blonde again. I accepted my own ***k up and cut it and learned by it, as we all do :D:D:D

Answer 4

You may have damaged the very structure of the strands (also cysteine, keratine bonds) or your hair folicles (also, you could be facing a loose anagen phase syndrome). First and foremost, don't put anything on your hair (be it conditioners,...) and go see a dermatologist IMMEDIATELLY.

Answer 5

Condition much more, dye much less, get a short haircut and let your hair grow back healthy!
