Blonde Highlights or block colour (damaged)

Hi all,

I wonder if you could help me? My hair used to be much thicker and I used to get blonde all over colour and only have the roots done every so often.

Now for the past 3 years or so I have been having blonde highlights instead and my hair is thin and keeps breaking.

I am improving my diet and having protein treatments, but I wonder if this deterioration is partly due to having highlights over my hair again and again?

In terms of breakage and fine hair, is a block colour the healthier option as only the roots are highlighted?

I have an appointment next week for colouring and I don't know whether to revert to block colouring?

Any advice professional or otherwise would be appreciated!

I agree with what the previous poster suggested. But, please know this...your hair is a reflection of you...LITERALLY. I have been doing hair for 15+ years and I can always tell when someone has:
1 - drastically changed their diet
2 - been really sick
3 - taking harmful drugs
4 - not taking care of themselves
5 - major stress in their life
..... list goes on.....

Only you know what your health is and what you are doing to yourself. I am not suggesting that you are doing something harmful but please be aware, that makes a BIG difference.

The thing I am also concerned of is your highlighting method. Even with highlights, the stylish shouldn't be coloring your whole head...just the roots. Therefore, the highlights shouldn't be causing more damage than all over color. If she is coloring the whole strand over and over again, go to a different stylist!!!!

If you have any further questions, please let us know!!!
