Can This Hair Be Saved?

I'm sure this subject have been covered many (!) times, but I'm fairly new to the board and couldn't find my specific problem covered so I'm asking anyway.I have very fine, very curly hair, which is naturally a lovely dirty blonde. I used to colour, colour, colour, and blow dry straight, but in March of this year decided to go with the flow and let it curl, so I went to my hairdresser and got all the damaged bits cut off. My hair had subsequently grown to just below my chin, and was in good shape, very healthy looking (and not too frizzy). About three weeks ago, I wanted to liven up the colour, so went to my hairdresser and got a permanent red put in (I know he used Swarzkopf, but not sure of the actual shades). Anyway, my hair is now extremely dry again. I would like to fix it, without having to get it all cut off again (I've already had about 1 1/2" taken off).I'd appreciate any and all suggestions on how to reverse some of the damage, if at all possible!Thanks,

> hi harper-i'm a big fan of the kiehl's intensive moisterizing cocnut and lecithin masque. it has been reviewed on www.naturallycurly.com, if you'd like to look it up.i have wavy hair, colored, slightly dry & slightly damaged and i use this treatment 1/week. you leave it on for an hour or more...and, voila! silky tresses, in a big way.the kiehl's stuff is price-y, though: $44 for a jar (i think it's 8 oz), but a little goes on a long way, even on longer hair. check out the site mentioned above for other reviews on various products. i'm sure you'll find the right thing for you.best wishes :) silvie
