So I've dyed my hair so many times, and tire to use colour corrector, and died it again! So it's really dry and damaged now any tips on how to fix this?

I would deep condition it and use marrocan oil on your hair

Okay bear with me because this will take a while, it's a long explanation.

First, cut off all of your split ends, because nothing you can do will repair them and they will just keep splitting up the shaft.

Second, buy a good sulfate and sodium chloride free shampoo and conditioner. I personally like L'oreal EverStrong shampoo and conditioner, which is free of both of those things. Also buy a good deep conditioner like Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle or Macadamia's Deep Repair Masque. In the shower, first thing you should do is wash your hair. After that, apply a healthy amount of the deep conditioner to the ends of your hair, and a small amount through the rest of your hair to get rid of any tangles. Put your hair in a bun and don't rinse out the deep conditioner until the end of your shower.

Third, try not to brush your hair as much, because that can cause breakage, but if you have to, DO NOT brush your hair when its wet, because that is when its weakest.

Finally, cut back on heat styling if you can. If you can't, use the lowest heat setting and a heat protector (my personal favorites are John Freida's Full Repair Spray and Tressemme's Heat Tamer Spray).

I think that's all the advice I have for you :) let me know if you have more questions.

Of course :) trust me I have dyed my hair to within an inch of it's life, and I started this routine and nothing fazes my hair anymore. I bleached my whole head about a month ago and I BARELY have split ends. So I really hope it works for you :)

Use coconut oil. Try (even though sad, cutting at least 1-2 inches off your hair) I recommend the Organix Coconut oil. It's retails from $6-$9 it worked so well for me. I had the same issue. My hair is not ringlet curls but more than wavy, medium thinkness.

Okay, for damaged hair you’re going to need a lot of patience and treatments (I personally recommend pro naturals Moroccan argan oil hair mask, it’s a salon treatment). Massaging your scalp weekly with coconut oil, almond oil or argan oil also helps, it’s very moisturizing and makes your hair softer as well. Leave in the oil for about 30-50 minutes under a shower cap or warm towel. You may have to leave the treatment in overnight and wash it out in the morning if your hair requires it. Also, trim regularly to prevent split ends and avoid heat and dyes.
