My hair was recently ruined by bad highlights and later the chi permanent straightener. I am on the road to recovery. I now have bangs (Before they were eaten off by the highlights) and my hair was cut up to my ears, and is now almost shoulder length. However, I'm having to go in every 4 weeks for trims due to all the breakage and frizzing of the bad ends. My stylist (new and good one) says I have about an inch and a half of new hair growth. However, I stay moody and depressed about this because I used to have long naturally curly (yet sometimes frizzy) hair but at least I had hair that was HAIR....not broken off pieces of....well, you know. My family keeps telling me I'm beautiful and that I have a beautiful face and body and that my hair is getting better, but I am struggling and having a real hard time with this. Any suggestions?

Maybe some clip in extensions will make you feel better. I don't know if these damage the hair or not but if you want longer hair this might be the answer. I know how you feel, my regular hair stylist quit after about 15 years and I have had to deal with the same thing. Bad hair cuts, bad hair color, split ends, hair breaking off buying every product I can find to condition my hair. I too had curly hair, but always received compliments on how nice my hair looked. Well have not got those compliments for a long time. I think if your hair looks bad it makes you feel bad. But eventually we will be back to normal. Keep getting the bad stuff cut off and one day we will get our hair back. Good luck

Hmm, the terrible in-between stages. You should put a deep moisturizing leave in treatment in your hair every week and always apply a good leave in conditioner before exiting your house. Stay clear of Pantene and other products. Use salon brand herbal shampoos like Aveda. It's a little pricey, but oh so worth it. Another thing that you can do is heat up a little bit of olive oil, rub it into your roots and halfway down your hair, wrap a hot towel around it, then wash it off. Olive oil is a wonderful conditioning treatment that is also cheap.

The same thing happened to me and all you can do is make the best of it. I used the Biosilk Silk thereapy to ease my frizzys and The pantene frizzy hair shampoo really made it look better as well. good luck in your endevour.

I'm sorry about you feel that way, and look at this way, hair grows. You could wear a wig maybe, I considered that after getting a rather short on a whim, which happened awhile ago.

use pretty caps and big diadems, i am sure u r very pretty so while your hair grows use more makeup and cute cloth so people will look less at your hair .
and in your hair use oils, take care of it, it will soon grow again.
