I know if I bleach it anymore my hair is going to fall out...
Question Posted Monday October 10 2011, 7:53 am
Hey there!
I am a girl 17, single and very happy.
I am in love with changing my hair, I love cutting it and coloring it, I've had my hair every color you can name, well anyways, I had my hair blue and pink and purple about 2 weeks ago, well I had a job interview and I dyed it all this demi permanent black by n'rage well to keep it sweet and short, I hate my hair now, it's too normal, and it's starting to fade into this grey greenish color and my roots are green!! I want my hair colorful again not this green ugly mess, but I know that requires bleaching. I want my hair hotpink again because I loved it. But I've bleached my hair and dyed it so much that my hair is really damaged and dry and I know if I bleach it anymore my hair is going to fall out.
I don't want to cut it off, I cut off my split ends every couple of weeks and I have been doing hot oil treatments about once a week, I also have stopped washing my hair every day and now I wash it every 2-3 days, I use leave in conditioner and air dry my hair but it still isn't showing improvement, I wanted to get it healthy before I did it pink again, but my hair color looks so gross now and I just want it to be light enough and healthy enough. So I have a few questions.
1. What are some efficient low cost products or at home remedies or even just tips to get my hair strong and healthy again, preferably quick.
2. What are some good ways to lighten my hair fast without bleaching or damaging it further.
3. I have short hair it goes to my shoulders and has a lot of layers, I've been trying to avoid using heat on my hair because I don't want to fry it further, but my hair is very thick and likes to stick up which way, it's kind of scene, and if I dry it by air and don't straighten it my hair looks so weird all misshapen and wavy and sticks up everywhere.
Is there anyway to get my hair straight or to look nice without the flat iron?
Thanks a ton! (:
^^ This is the most recent picture of my hair, you can't see the green but you can see all the damage in it.
Also this really shouldn't effect anything but I am actually 18 not 17 just a typo (:. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?

The best thing to do is go to a professional and have them use "Backtracks" by Paul Mitchell. Let the hairdresser know that's the product you want to use in case she doesn't have it so she can pick it up at a beauty supply store for you. I used it on my hair and it came out damage free. It will take a few times to strip the hair but this allows you to go lighter without bleach. After I did it a few times I went back to blond. When your hair is stronger, the best bleach to use is called go blonder by Wella. You will need to go to a professional for this as well. But just as an example when I did this to my hair I went from black to platinum blond with very little damage. [ mandaxpanda21's advice column | Ask mandaxpanda21 A Question ]

I've dyed my hair many times, but this is just clearly obsessive. Bleach is the one thing that will damage your hair, It is high on chemicals. If you hate the way your hair looks now "Which I think it looks just fine" then buy a undye kit. It's called "Color oops" and works pretty well. Color oops will take out the dye from your hair, After you do this leave your hair alone for at least 6 months and give it a chance to breathe. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
