So, I bleached and dyed my hair blonde about two months ago and it obviously damaged my hair, I knew it would...but I have pretty long hair, want to keep growing it out but it feels like Barbie doll hair because it's so damaged and dry. I also want to dye my hair a brownish color, but not until its healthy. So, what are some ways I can fix my hair? I have a Sallys just down the street, so If you could mention products to get there. Thanks so much everyone! :)

I would deep condition your hair everyday, so shampoo your hair, rinse, then put conditioner on and leave for about ten minutes, this should make your hair less damaged and dry, also stay away from heat and chemicals

Avoid shampooing, you want the natural oils to get back into your hair. Putting a good deep conditioner on dry hair and leaving it over night works wonders. I've been every colour possible and bleached my hair a few times. Aussie 3 minute reconstructer is good or I currently use an intensive deep conditioner by Osis that I got from Sally's for less than £3, its really good and I have a lot left.

Use splitender by redken. Blue bottle. Slightly pricey but lasts forever.

You can't fix split ends. Hair isn't alive in the first place. It's dead cells. Once you split them or damage them it's done. Trim every 3-5 weeks until all the damaged hair is cut off. I'm a cosmetologist so I deal with this all the time. And while your waiting for hair to get health again use it's a 10 miracle leave in conditioner with keratin. Blue bottle with orange cap.

I would wait a few months. Just to make sure your hair is super healthy and ready to take color. Make sure you deep condition the day before and after you color to reduce the amount of new damage

Use sulfate free products and tace care of your hair until it has recovered before you start coloring it again. Get a trim so that you can remove the split ends and deep condition once a week with pro naturals argan oil hair mask.

Dying it again would damage it even more. I say you leave it alone for awhile (3 months max) start deep conditioning it & grow it out.
