This past may I bleached my hair in three different tones! the top 1/3 was black, 2/3 was red and the last third was blonde. I loved the way it looked but after the first week my hair started to completely break/rip and it started to look gross. about 2 weeks ago I colored my hair dark brown (my natural hair color) but my hair tips are as damaged as could be! I've done all kinds of treatments and nothing! I used to have really manageable hair! now my right side is way shorter than the left and even looks gross when I straighten it! any good products to fix this!?? I'm desperate to fix my hair.

You prob have to cut it. cutting that dead stuff off is always best. these deep condition like crazy to keep it in good condition.

Well...I agree you have to cut it. And for future tips STOP DYING IT and STOP BLEACHING IT. Don't wash it everyday either because that makes it break off too. Wow I really don't know anything else to tell you because I've never dyed my hair so it's never really had any damage. Use a hair mask. Don't use any heat on your hair for a while.

I love changing my hair color as well! But it is very damaging. First, try not to wash it every day. I have very greasy hair so I have to, but I minimize the blow drying, straightening, etc. Also, buy a deep conditioning hair mask! This one works AMAZINGLY. It's a little pricey, but it's worth it. I ordered mine off amazon. Good luck!!

Try a hair mask once a week and try a split end binding Creme like the one by Nexxus. Eliminate any heat styling for a while too. I also heard sleeping on a silk pillow case and sleeping with your hair on a braid can stop strands from breaking.

I went from black to blonde in three days! Trim your split ends it will make your hair look better instantly! Deep condition twice a week & use a leave in conditioner whenever you wash your hair. Don't brush or sleep with your hair wet, try to lay off heat (I still straighten my hair) use heat protectant & I take hair skin and nail pills & fish oil tablets.

& that macadamia nut oil treatment that @rachel S. suggested is freaking amazing! Try it!!

Cut it then if you continue bleaching deep condition once a week and stay away for drugstore hair dyes <3.

The only thing that will cure damage is scissors. All those treatments will do nothing to completely dead bleach damaged hair. Sorry girly. Just try trimming a little each month.

Get a trim first. then, once a week, make a hair mask out of coconut oil and egg. I use about 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil and 1 egg. put the coconut oil in a pan until it melts. quickly pour into a bowl and crack an egg. mix well and apply to your hair. leave for 45 min and rinse.
