anyway,

 

back in november, i decided to wow my relatives for thanksgiving and bleach my hair. i have naturally dirty blonde hair, but i wanted to go very blonde.

my hair was all ready overprocessed for it had been dyed far too many times and constintly flat ironed.

 

for some reason, i still went ahead with the bleaching.

it was horribly damaged. it was breaking off everywhere, it was totally fried, and i had lost so much hair. it wasn't to the blonde i wanted it to be, and it did not look good at all. another rash decision later, and i dyed my hair dark brown. i think that really sealed my hair's death.

 

it was been five weeks now and it has improved. it is to the point where it looks and feels like hair again, but, you can tell it was definitly fried.

i had much of it cut, much to my disapointment; i was trying to grow it out.

i don't mind getting more cut (i think i have to) but i would rather not.

 

i have been using nexxus emergencee, neutrogena hair masks and nexxus shampoo. i am also taking hairtopia, i believe it is helping, but it is too early to tell.

 

so, my question is what can i do to further improve my hair? what products should i use? what should i do or not do?

 

also, i have always slept with wet hair. now, however, my hair will be a total rat's nest. it will be so dry and tangly. not to mention horribly puffy.

i am thinking this is just a side effect of the bleaching, but should i really be worried about this?

 

thanks!

Get a silk pillow case.They are easier on your hair then cotton ones,and you'll have less tangles when you wake up.

 

Put conditioner on your hair and leave it in for as long as you can sometimes.I used to put in conditioner and just watch tv for hours with it in my hair while it was wrapped in a warm moist towel.

 

Look into a hair smoothng serum.It will lock down any frizzes and smooth the cuticle,making it tangle less and feel softer.
