2 years ago, I started dying my hair VERY often. (I used semipermanent dye and it faded quickly) Prior to that, it was very thick and healthy, but now it's thinned out & become slightly damaged. I also get the feeling that I'm losing more strands a day than I used to.
So I have 3 questions:
1) Will my hair ever revert to being thick again (even if I stop dying it) ?
2) Are there any good shampoos to use to make it more healthy?
3) Any other comments are also welcome.

Of course if you continue to use product and hair dryers, it won't stay conditioned, but doing this about once a month is a great way to healthy hair. Use so vegetable oil, olive oil is best. Warm it up in microwave, and then apply to your hair. Clean is best, but dry, not dripping wet. Then wrap in a towel. If you like, you can warm the towel in the micro wave. To keep the heat in, recommended if your hair is really damaged, put a shower cap or plastic wrap over the towel. Leave on for 1/2 hours. Then shampoo. If you have long thick hair you may have to shampoo twice.
good luck.

If you still dye your hair, use a shampoo made especially for dyed hair (L'oreal makes good ones). Otherwise, something for damaged hair, like Dove Damage Repair.
You should also try a product called It's A 10. (Available at beauty supply stores). It's a leave-in conditioning spray that repairs hair, gets rid of frizz, and works as a thermal protection spray. It's a little expensive but a really good product and totally worth the money. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]
