My hairdresser said that the best thing to do would be to get it cut very short- to about 1-2 inches long. Is there anything else I can do instead? I really don't want to cut it, but if I have to do you think it will look ok?

I spoke to my hairdresser today (who is also one of my best friends) and I've decided just to cut it. It will probably be about an inch long when in is cut, as she needs to cut most of the length off.
I have a feeling it will look terrible.
Thanks for the advice guys xx

Shave it off and start again from scratch.

Just get trims every 4 to 6 weeks. Just have her to take the very tips off. Tell them you want less than a 4th inch off. At the salon they have a product called Redkin Extreme Antisnap. It is a leave in that works on your hair all day. It is for dry, brittle and distressed hair. Also look for Chi Silk Infusion. This is a serum to help protect and smooth it while you blow dry. Put both of these in your hair while it's wet. Style as desired.I am a hair dresser My hair is damaged I have color and a perm and the pool messed my hair up bad. I also you this products on my hair everyday. They do make a difference! With gettin trims and using these products your hair will back into good shape. Unless you are coloring and highlighting it alot. which the products help with too. What the hair dresser should have told you is to have it all healthy at once you should have it cut off, But you could also do it my way which is a process but you get to keep your hair.. I hope this helps..

Hairdressers will ALWAYS want to cut it off - don't do it.
Even when you go to the hairdressers for a 2 inch trim they will always try and convince you it's broken half way up and you really need six to eight inches off!
Get what you want taken off (and make sure you INSIST they do not exceed this...in my experience they have a nasty habit of lobbing off whatever they think you 'need') and then ask them to do a deep conditioning treatment which I think usually costs around £12 (although this will vary salon to salon).
At home you can use stuff like Aussie 3 Minute Miracle or other deep conditioning treatments to keep it looking a little healthier and just get regular trims till it grows back in all healthy again.

Have a good trim and use mild shampoo and a rich conditioner. Try lush shampoo bars as they are natural and mild. I've used them for 2 months now and my hair feels so different.
Also when you've washed and dried your hair put a tiny bit of coconut oil on the ends to protect it, but not too much as it will be too greasy. They say hair 'oiling' is very good and nourishing for your hair, and when you wash your hair only wash the scalp and not the ends. It will take some time to get your hair in a better condition, I had the same problem and cutting it and leaving it (no colouring, heavy drying, bleaching) got it right, - it took 18 months or so!

If you post your picture I will be able to tell you. If you aren't sure just get it cut to a length you can cope with and keep going back and getting it trimmed every 4 weeks until the damaged hair is gone.

i know what you mean, my hair used to be really damaged too. i would recomend you get a couple of inches off the end, just so it doesnt completely split, and use intensive conditioners and products like that ALOT! try and give your hair as much of a break from straighteners , dying etc as you can and hopefully it should seem a little better.

You can try to use a creme rinse and a leave in conditioner. Also, don't brush your hair too much and do not use curling irons, hairdryers, or die your hair AT ALL. If that doesn't work, then you'll probably have to get it trimmed.

DON'T listen to her. You don't have to cut it that short. You just need to take care of it. Here are some products that work great for dried out hair and over processed hair...I've tried them all, this is just what helps for me...
JOHN FRIEDA FRIZZ EASE HAIR SERUM
CITRISHINE ANTI FRIZZ SERUM
DOVE CONDITIONER
TRESEME SHAMPOO
AVEDA
So far...they have worked the best.

I kind of like the pink, it looks good on you. Just let your hair grow back. I think the roots will look good with the pink whether your natural color is dark or light. Stick with pink is my advice.

Get a good quality conditioner and nourish it with it at least twice a wk. It will be dry and brittle so protect if your drying with hair dryer
