I am 16 years old, and I am sure you are on here for advice, not to learn about my life.
advice
I've dyed AND bleached my hair so much in the past that I gave it a break for almost a year. So my hair grew out from bleached streaks and a bob. I probably dyed it twice during the growing out stage because the bleached parts resurfaced over and over. So I'm asking for some help to get beautiful hair. My hair is to my boobs now and it's curly. I got a perm for christmas to get a loose curl. My hair naturally is curly/wavy but it forms knots, you know? >_< My hair was fine but now it's just going back to knots. Sometimes I try straightening it but it just comes out as bad Hermione hair. I mean it looks fried even though I use some hair product in it and it's completely dry. Right now, my hair is a light brown towards my roots and it gets darker as it goes down. I really want to dye it all a chocolate brown but get it professionally done.. Would that be a good idea use a little of bleach?
I really need help lol. What are some good products to use for knotty, damaged, dry hair?
Frizz serums? Heat activated sprays? Deep conditioners? I really want to get the color fixed but should I wait it out? It looks like I tried going blonde :S Or should I just use a color stripper again?
I'm on a low budget so if there's anything I can put together at home, it would be great =P
You REALLY need to get all of the product out of your hair. That is what is weighing it down and unhealthy. To do so, while you are in the shower before you wash your hair, take some Baking Soda and wet it a bit. Then smooth it around in your hair. After that wash and condition it as usual. The baking soda will get rid of all the product that is caught in your hair.
You should probably find a rich conditioner, and use it from roots to tips. Also, it would be very wise to not color it at all for a while, since that is what is killing your hair.
Think of your hair like a piece of silk. When it first grows in it is soft and pretty, but after brushing it, washing it, combing it, straightening, blowdrying; it becomes torn and brittle, and looses it's sheen.
You need to start treating your hair better if you want it to look nice. After you wash your hair and what not, let it towel dry.
Leave in conditioner is your best bet. Usually they are around 10-12 dollars. Getting your hair trimmed would also help, since it would get rid of most of your dead ends and preventing your hair from splitting.
Just remember coloring is fun until the after effects start to show.
Here are some things you can do at home for your hair.
