Answer 1

I will simply have to grow out. Stop putting harsh things in your hair for a while or it will never get back to normal.
Redken Extreme is a real good product for damaged hair.

Answer 2

i don't think there's any way you could undo the damage.. however it's not too late to avoid further damage

first & foremost, stop using straightener & let your hair dry naturally (avoid blow drying as much as possible)

use conditioner every time after shampoo & try deep conditioning once a week... make sure you choose the one that suits your hair type

take some supplement/ vitamins for your hair & avoid any chemical treatment (dyeing, coloring, bleaching, relaxing, perming) for at least 2 months.. then your hair should be fine

p/s: once every two week i apply mayonnaise on my hair before going to bed and wash it the next morning (it helps a little, but only if you can stand the smell)

Answer 8

once hair is damaged, it can not be fixed - you have to cut it off or let it grow out. Hair is mostly not alive (first inch or two) and can not be repaired.

Answer 9

Salons do treatments for damaged hair. They can also recommend better products to help. Don't color it anymore until it's "healthy" again. Don't color your hair yourself. Always go to a salon. Good luck

truth? once a week soak your hair in mayonaise and baby oil, leave it on for about 8 hours then wash it, you may have to wash it a couple of times, but it fixed my hair
