There are a few tricks for covering up the damage that you've caused to your hair and a few temporary fixes. Once your hair is damaged you can't ever really fix it. You'll just have to grow out the damaged hair and be good to the new hair that grows in.
Protein Conditioners - a temporary fix
These work by temporarily filling in the damage on the hair making it feel smoother and fuller. I've found the results last about a week. My current favourite is Ion Hair Reconstructor. It's applied to damp shampooed hair and is left on for 15 minutes. It's pretty hard to rinse out but leaves my hair feeling in pre-bleached condition. Until my hair is washed again after using it, it sometimes feels a bit hard so I use some normal conditioner directly after the Ion to soften it up. Jheri Redding also makes a very good protein pack but it's pretty hard to find. For more product reviews have a look at the intensive conditioner product review page.
Every Day Conditioners
Using a conditioner each time you wash your hair is essential if you don't want further damage. Conditioner makes your hair more silky and so it's less likely to snag and get tatty. Also if your hair looks and feels silky it will seem less damaged. The conditioners that are best for making your hair look shiny are usually the ones that contain silicone. Some people say silicone is bad for your hair but if you use a good non-conditioning shampoo (or a clarifying shampoo is better) you won't get a build up of silicone which can make your hair lank and heavy. Have a look on the ingredients list. Generally anything ending in "cone" is silicone based. I find that Pantene's Smooth & Sleek conditioner is really good for keeping my hair from getting knotted (and it's pretty long) and leaves it shiny too.
Extra Shine
Recently I've started using a silicone based shine serum. It can be used on wet or dry hair (I prefer putting it on wet hair as it spreads better) and you let it dry in. It makes the hair look extra shiny and also helps protect it if you're using straightening irons. I found it in the Afro hair section of Sally's. In fact you can get really straight silky hair if you use it before straightening. Don't use it on your roots as it tends to clump together and make your hair look greasy. It's also good to use a tiny bit on any fly-aways which is great if you've broken a lot of hair by bleaching.

Britney Spears uses the brand Satinique. I use that too and I am a more-than-satisfied user. A must have is Satinique Gentle Daily Cleanser and Satinique Moisturising Conditioner to use daily, and finish off with Satinique Leave & Lock In Protector (some kind of spray on conditioner for washed/dry hair) and Satinique Hi-gloss Serum (protein rich, essential for beautiful and healthy hair. Once a week I use Satinique Intensive Repair Masque--your hair becomes incredibly soft with that product, even if it's been bleached or damaged.
Satinique cannot be bought in the shop or at the salon, but you can order it online at www.quixtar.com if you're in N. America and have it speedily delivered to your house. If you live elsewhere, email me and I'll find out for you how you can get it.

You know I work with some same prolem , this place where we have lunch the owner told her just told her cut off all the split ends first thats what makes it look worse than what it really is then use olive oil for three saturdays in a head wrap and not to use shampoo or cond. use regular Ivory bar soap to wash hair no hair blowing only sponge curlers and now her hair is so nice she gets compliments all the time at the mall. try It might work for you.(might)

no you cant save dry hair you might be able to cover it up with something.. maybe from redkin but what you are going to have to do is cut the dry bleached part off and if ur hair is like that root to tip then cut an inch or so every two to three months but good luck

hey!!! attempt making use of a sulfate, silicone, paraben and alcohol loose hair products. you should continually verify the ingredient record of the products you purchase on your hair and ward off those substances so that you'll get softer and fit hair. there is this line talked about as professional organic’s it truly is truly solid for damaged or chemically processed hair because its so smooth and it makes use of argan oil it truly is the acceptable aspect you should use on your hair. i love it::):):)
