HELP-Bleached Root Breakage

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello~I'm new to this site and I'm seriously in need of some direction. I have long brown hair with years of highlights/bleached/lift without damage. Recently started with my friend who just received her license 8/14/10. On our 3rd appointment with 2 1/2 months, the same color for roots was done; however each time we've also been foiling the roots where my previous hairdresser would probably do it every other appointment. Immediately upon rinsing out, my hair had about a 1" width of breakage 1" from the root. She immediately pointed this out and conditioned it and said she didn't over process or over lap. She dropped of Redken Extreme and it's been 5 days now since this has all happened; however the breakage is moving throughout my center part to the back of my head and all along the hair framing my face.  All about 1" from the root.  What do I do? I'm so afraid to style my hair and I'm now left with dry, brittle, breaking hair at the root...I've been leaving conditioner in my hair daily (orange bottle Sleek something) and Redken Extreme in the morning (rinsing it out). I had a bbq yesterday and had to dry my hair a little so I only used cold air once again leaving my hair frizzy beyond frizz! Any suggestions are SO WELCOMED!!!!!  Thank you! (I am in no way upset with my friend as I know she is new at this and this was not intentional. I'm more upset with myself knowing my hair and how long I've been doing this to know that bleach on my hair should be done by a professional with much more experience. I do blame myself for this.)
