Bleached Hair
i bleached my hair in the summer time and then rinsed it with a color . everything was great my hair was long and healthy . then my new growth started growin so i bleached my roots but the following week after i bleached my hair for the second time i permed my hair . thats when things went down hill . it got so bad i was scared to wash my hair because my hair would jus fall out . i started using “baba de caracol ” and that stopped it frm falling out but I still had alot of dead hair and split ends . so i went to the salon and cut my ends my hair is still very dry and brittle . im trying not to perm my hair but my mom insist on me getting one . is there any product i can use to make my hair grow healthy again ??
Oh amigita! I don’t know if I have ever mentioned this, but bleach is not a girl’s friend. In fact, I’d venture to say that very few women with relaxed, kinky, coarse or super curly hair can handle bleach. I’m not even a fan of hair dyes. A temporary rinse, great, but permanent coloring? NO! You added insult to injury by relaxing your hair after bleaching it, yet again.
Giving advice regarding these situations is extremely difficult, because:
1. I am not a licensed beautician and
2. I have no idea just how severe your damage is.
Nonetheless, I can only use my imagination and give you my best recommendation. Before I venture…have to ask…why is your mother insisting that you get a relaxer? Was she aware that you were going to bleach your hair? What is your stylist doing to maintain your hair right now?
Moving right along, I doubt my advice is what you want to hear, but this is what I would do. I would let my hair grow out enough that I could get a hair cut, not a trim, not a chip, but a CUT. I would have all of the bleached hair cut off and let my new growth breath free-n-easy. Then, I’d decide whether or not I wanted to relax again, but I would steer clear of any and ALL bleach products. Relaxers tend to dry the hair out and bleach does the same thing, so you ended up with a double-dose of damage. Your hair is probably very limp, in addition to being brittle.
As much as I’d love to pull out a magical product for you to try, I cannot. I empathize with you, but this is an instance where it is imperative that you seek professional help.
Please, accept my apology

I understand many of these hair situations because I have either gone through it myself or helped someone else through it. In particular, damage from overlapping chemical services. It can be hard on a person’s self image to have accidentally fried their hair. I went through it, so have my friends and family, and also a LOT of clients. It’s not the end of the world but it sure feels like it! Fortunately, with time and care the hair will usually grow back.
