So awhile back I bleached my hair and since then I've had to work to get it back to health because my hair became gooey and it was just gross so its been awhile and I've dyed it since and I've been jus letting it grow out so my roots are natural havent been dyed or anything and within two days tends too look super greasy while the ends of my hair are still old hair that was bleached and is very dry (and I can't just cut it off because its still a good amout and it would leave my hair verry short so I'm cutting it off little by little but I'm also in the process of trying to grow my hair out)
I've been using main n tale for my shampoo and condition since my hair lady said to do that and at first it seemed to really help now I feel like its too much maybe its time too switch it up any suggestions
p.s sorry this is so long

OMG... why are you still paying your hair lady?? Mane n Tail is HORRID for the hair :(
Mane n Tail is not Ph Balanced for human hair and scalp... so over time it becomes dry and brittle. The reason it becomes dry and brittle is because of the wax in Mane n Tail. This is also why people are fooled into thinking Mane n Tail makes your hair grow faster and longer... it doesn't. The wax in mane n tail is simply weighing down your hair. Mane n tail is as effective as lard, lol. The wax is simply just building up in your hair and after a couple of months ( I'd say 6+ ) it's going to become brittle. It happened to me until one day I got curious and researched... now nothing touches me without extensive research :P
I reallllllly suggest oiling your hair ☺ I've been oiling my hair for 2 months now and it's gotten so much longer and stronger and a lot less frizzy ♥ My carrier oil has been castor and I mix it up with loads of things like coconut, avocado oil, almond oil, or olive oil. I usually massage it in and flip my head upside down to promote blood circulation, with at least 4 minutes of massaging, and spread it throughout my hair. Then I go ahead and put it in a bag and go about... I leave it on at least an hour. ♥♥♥
You can also look up certain foods that are high in biotin, but I don't recommend the stupid pill... it's side effects are crazy and just not worth it.

That's exactly what happened it was great and now it's brittle and is like getting matted its horrible and I was doing oil/vitamin treatment but I moved and now Idk where a decent salon is my hair was pretty untill I made the mistake of going cheap and letting a beauty school drop out mess with my hair lol and the only reason why I dyed it after it got bleached is because I hated it I didnt bleach the hole thing it was just the top part but after I dyed it to try n fix it I havent touched it I'm just sticking it out but so what do you use for shampoo do you have an opinion on bed head.

Well the good thing about the treatments I do is the simple fact that they are inexpensive and have nothing to do with salons ♥
All the oils I use you can find in a pharmacy and a grocery store... for your hair type I would use castor oil with almond. The treatments I do are kitchen DIY treatments... and for washing my hair I don't use shampoo at all... I just use something to clarify which is just baking soda and water. I only use conditioner to wash my hair... but I wash my hair everyday because I have curly hair so to style it - it needs to be wet. I rarely use shampoo, it's very stripping of the oils your hair needs. Treatments are your best friend, and I find doing them naturally works so much better than buying over priced salon treatments. There are tons of recipes online to do that work ☺

Coconut oil has really saved my hair, I like the pureology shampoos and conditioners and bed head also worked pretty good on my hair.
