I don't want to cut my damaged hair, HELP!?

Question

My hair is very porous,from previously bleach blond foils. Will it help to add a darker color to my hair to improve the condition. Any sugestions?

Answer 1

Darker hair tends to look healthier because it reflects light more than blonde. On the other hand, if you can dye it darker, do a deep conditioner treatment and trim a LITTLE...it will look better! What would you rather have? Long ratty looking hair or hair that has been trimmed that looks like a hair commercial?

Answer 2

O.K. First- STOP BLEACHING YOUR HAIR! It does serious damage to your hair over time that is just about impossible to fix without cutting it all off. Second- Start using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Third- I wouldn't put a permanent color on your hair until the condition of the hair improves. It will be safer to use one of the temporary dyes on it instead. They add color without the damaging chemicals and they last like 2 months. This will help give your hair a chance to recover. Fourth- Use deep conditioners on your hair. Pantene makes a good one, but any will do. Use it 2 or 3 times a week, especially if you wash your hair every day. Fifth- Do not use HEAT on your hair! I will just dry it out more. Use a cool setting on your blow drier and refrain from using flat irons, curling irons or hot rollers if at all possible.
Do all this and in time your hair will look better. It won't happen over night but it will improve the condition of your hair. The only other option that I know of, would be cutting it; you still might want to consider getting it trimmed at least, it will help.
Good Luck.

Ok, that's a hard question. I'm currently a beautitan.It will not help you to color ure hair again, because if you think about it, when you color it, under the color will still be very unhealthy. I would just cut it. It will grow out quickly. NEVER BLEACH IT AGAIN!!! Oh and get a big bottle of conditioner.

Answer 4

No coloring wont help,it may make things worse. if you cut it, it will grow faster because then the damaged hair wont out weigh the new growth and the damage wont spread onto the new growth, the sooner you cut it the better and the quicker you can start over, plus health hair looks far better than damaged hair any day.

Answer 5

No more chemicals. Use a mayonnaise pack. Smear mayonnaise on your hair heavily. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. Wash it out. It will still be "greasy". Wash again the next day and your texture will be improved some.

Answer 6

Hot oil treatments, Aussie "3 minute miracle" (or other intensive conditioner). Do final rinse in cool water when you wash it. Garnier and the Aussie line both make a shampoo for damaged hair that is pretty good. Good luck!

Answer 7

Adding more chemicals to your hair will not solve your damaged hair problem. The best advice I can give is to super condition your hair - daily if need be to obtain softer and healthier looking hair.

Answer 8

well sweetie. as a professional hairstylist, i'll tell you like i tell my clients. it's only hair. it'll grow back. if it's dead theres no helping it. just cut it off. the new hair will be much heathier and shinier. trust me. shorter healthier hair looks much better than long dead hair. besides you could always get extensions if it's too short.

Answer 9

Yes, use queratin cream ( I use Kérastase), it is a capilar reconstruct cream, really miraculous, you see the difference since the first time you apply it.
The results are very quick.

Answer 10

No....i think you should just leave it to grow out...then you'll have your original hair colour back. Then maybe you could try something else..
