broken hair...ahhhhhhh please help!!!?

Question

i have bleached hair. i straighten it everyday with a straightener and i just realized i have split ends. so i got my hair cut and most of the split ends are gone but there are still a few, but now my hair has lots of flyaways and broken hairs. how do i ensure that my hair wont break any more? what should i use on it? and how do i smooth the broken flyaway pieces? gell doesnt work.

my hair still feels soft. its not dead i just have some fly aways.

Answer 1

I definitly had this too! This is what I did and it seemed to work. Don't start cutting off the broken flyaway pieces because they always come back at the place where you last cut them! Make a really really good moisterizing hair mask. You could use this recipe, "Combine mashed avocado with some coconut milk. Comb it through the hair and let sit for 10 -15 minutes, rinse out." This should work really well and if not, buy some Vitamin E oil and smooth some near the tips of your hair. Your hair should feel oily but not wet and super drenched. Leave it in for an hour and shampoo it out. Condition your hair really well and stop straightening your hair if you don't have too.
Good luck and I hope your hair returns to it's healthy state!!

Answer 2

- due to the damage of the bleach and straightener, u need to treat ur hair and mosturise it more. covering flyaways wont help much coz flyaways r caused by dryness and braking
- Use a good mosturizing shampoo and conditioner like herbal essences hello hydration or pantene
- Do hot oil treatment using olive oil once a week. This nourishes your hair.
- Do deep conditioning 3 times a week using a good hair mask like Neutrogena triple moisture, elvive from loreal or pantene deep fortifying treatment. These nourish your hair and make it healthy and shiny.
- Use sunsilk straighten up leave-in conditioner to protect your hair when u go out in the sun
- Trim your hair once every 8-10 weeks to remove split ends.
- Massage your scalp daily using a wide toothed comb. This improves circulation into your head and stimulates growth.

well bleaching and straightening your hair everyday kills your hair. Theres this stuff by Suave its an anti-frizz cream and it works really good on hair. If i was you...i would stop bleaching it and straightening it for a while to give it a rest. Also, suave has this stuff called smoothing cream that makes your hair really soft and they work just as good as gel!

Here is a technique that many people do not even acknowledge because it is cheap. If you go into a hair place they are going to get you to buy something, if you go into a hair salon they are going to get you to spend money on a special treatment. Instead of wasting your money try this. Take the conditioner you use every time you shower. put it in a spray bottle. make a mixture in the spray bottle. 1/2 water and 1/2 conditioner. When you go to brush your hair everyday whether it is wet or dry spray the mixture on your hair. brush it throught your hair do not rinse it out. do this everyday it will repair your hair and prevent future breakage. I only know this because I straighten my hair all the time and after spending lots of money on treatments and repairs I figured this out. my hair is now healthier then ever.

Answer 5

You are killing it with the straighteners - sorry. You must add moisture before straightening so that your hair stands a chance. Any cheap hairspray will do - just spray each strand before you straighten. The idea is that the heat will remove the hairspray moisture, not the moisture in your hair. and get some good conditioning treatments on it too. Bleached hair is incredibly fragile.

Answer 6

For the flyaways, make sure you're using 10 strengh hair gel. It should hold them down. If that doesn't work, I'd pull 'em out. To rebuild your very damaged hair, I would use Dove specialized shampoos.

Answer 7

Straightening your hair everyday burns it off. stop straightening it so much all the time. You probably should also stop using gel. The chemicals in it burns your hair off. There is achohal in gel and that damages your hair. Use jam! It doesn't damages your hair but, it still holds it in place.

Answer 8

WOW your hair is... Totally dead!
This happened to my friend... She highlighted her hair and she straitens it everyday... Now only like 3 inches of her hair is "alive" You need to stop doing things to you hair! Don't dye it or straiten it! If you really want to save your hair you have to stop!
OK now any shampoo and conditioner that treats damaged hair... mix it with frizz control shampoo and conditioner...
And dont cut your hair either anymore than you already did... Cuz it WONT GROW BACK!!!
Please take my advice seriously!
This is the only way to save your hair!!!!

Answer 9

frizz-ease staight answer straightening spray. dont wash your hair everyday, to let your hair get more of its natural oils. straightening is really bad for it. if you still see flyaways put some pantene conditioner on it in the mornings when its dry

good luck
