Over Bleached Hair Remedy

by Kathy
(IL)

Over bleached hair is a problem because when you try to apply a color to it, it will not stay in because the color has nothing to grab on to.

The hair shaft has basically been blown apart. So what you have to do is artificially fill that hair. The best way to do that is to
number one, decide what level you would like your hair to be . 11 being the lightest level you can be, which is not recommeded because you are trying to put color back into it, so I think I would maybe go to a level 8 or 9 which is a light blonde, but you need to fill that hair first.

So what I would do is slightly dampen the hair, apply level 10 and 9 mix equally with a 10 volume developer for ten minutes then I would apply a level 8 with 20 volume developer leave on for 30 minutes then you should a beautiful level 8 color, but you need to mantain this by using proffesional hair care shampoo to keep the hair shaft down and tight so the color does not come back out, this is essential.

If you would like to go to a level 5 then I would fill the hair with a level 7 with damp hair for 10 minutes with 10 volume developer then apply level 5 and 20 volume for 30 minutes. Level 5 is equivelent to a light brown.

The lower the level the darker the hair is. So if I wanted a level 1 it would be black if I wanted a level 11 it would be almost a see through blonde.

One quick note I would never ever use a ash color on bleached hair because more than likely it would come out to be a green color and would be very hard to remove. Some of your ash tones have a blue tone to them but it would still not be a good thing at all.

Always use professional hair products on your hair, it's better to use hair products that have a guarantee on how they help your hair, and how well they work.

My fried, damaged , overbleached hair was saved by Amonia Free Hair Color!
by: Anonymous

Growing up I was a natural golden blonde. Something possessed me to bleach my hair white. So I did it myself over virgin hair with 40 volume peroxide and bleach. My hair was FRIED and FALLING OUT! It also looked like a translucent grayish white color. I was so devastated, I thought it looked silly, so I colored it medium brown with a permanent hair color. The white hair was so over dried that it would only half absorb the brown so the color looked awful and dull. So I used Amonia-Free hair color by Garnier. I picked "Soft Black"....the last shade I ever thought I would pick but my only option to cover the dullness.....and I was AMAZED by the beauty of this color. I felt like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction lol. The color was shiny and even. Although I did find a nice color save.. nothing could ever change or repair the fried texture and the dryness of my over processed hair. I have shoulder length hair that I get cut every month now to help it grow faster. I also take Hair Nourish Vitamins from GNC. These months have been dark and sad. My hair continues to fall out. I have been using Garnier products and have been seeing a difference. If for some reason you ever find yourself with over bleached and damaged hair use a Chemical/Amonia-Free, or Herbal Hair color over top...it works wonders with the color, and as for me....I AM NEVER BLEACHING MY HAIR AGAIN!

I bleached my daughters hair and it fell out. She has a bald spot and a lot of thinning at the roots. Will her hair grow back?? i think it chemically burned her hair right off. I just want to make sure it will grow back.

hi i posted a cmnt titled worst time of my life about 5 days ago, and its almost 100%improved, DO NOT think thats washing and conditioning your hair every day will help, wash it every other day or even every two days if u can stand it, the more you wash your hair u are stripping your hair of its natural oils, which u need to nourish your hair, not washing it helps guys, i promise, hope this helps my worried dears. xxx

over bleached hair
by: Angela

My hair was over bleached, by professionals, for 14 months. Once every month as I never liked the colour it came out. Big mistake. The last time it was done. I just knew my hair could not take any more punishment. Sure enough, it all broke and fell out.

I have spent 7 months and a small fortune on deep conditioners trying to get it to look and feel half normal. Right now, the condition is good but the breakage will take another 6 months to grow out. My roots have had to be left to their own devices - so I am light brown with some grey at the roots and a very pale blonde at the ends. I never would have thought I could stick it out but honestly, there is no other way. The best deep conditioners will only work, sort of, for a day and then you are back to straw!!!

It is tough to do but leaving your hair alone for as long as possible (plus having the damaged ends cut every few weeks) is the only solution. Everything else is pie in the sky. There is no miracle cure for this, just time and patience. Do try to stick it out. I was on the point of buying a wig when suddenly my hair looked and felt soft and silky again.

I will be so very, very careful in future about any colour I put into my hair.

Good day!

About 3 days ago ..I went in to a salon. I wanted my hair done half light brown and half blonde (or similar)

to start off my hair is pretty dark well it had been dyed black before but this was like months ago.

This lady used the brown on half of the top which only my roots turned brown. ugh!

and on the bottom part she was bleaching my hair...she left it on for quite a while and it turned orange (which i would consider normal) due to how it was before...well she decided to wash it and re-do one more time.

Well ..it is dry to much breakage its is ugly and when i brushed it out it was falling out into big chunks...fortunatley this was on the bottom part not top!

My question is what can i do about this what is the best thing to do ..? i do condition my hair and as a matter of fact i use the cholesterol that african americans use on their hair..it works but not on the bottom part! help please!!

should i shave it what should i do??
help!

I have colored my hair for years...pretty "normal" I would say...but I am in my 40s now and seem to be having a mid life crisis..when I went to pick out color the other day to color the gray and roots, something posessed me to buy platinum blonde bleaching solution....I LOOK LIKE A FOOL!! How do I fix this???? Money is tight so that is why I have always done it myself....

BTW...I think my natural color used to be dark strawberry blonde....i have been a bottled blond for years...always looked natual until this time....now i look like i should be in a freak show!
minoxidil

minoxidil5% is the same as Regaine Extra Strength. There are no differences in composition or quality because Kirkland Minoxidil 5% is actually manufactured by Pfizer, the same company that makes Regaine.

Hello
My hair has been bleached at the scalp and my hair is thinning! i was letting it grow and then i let this lady retouch my hair and she put a 40 peroxide and and it burned off so much of my hair at the scalp. i am so sad when i see my thin hair because my hair isnt normally so thin. I cant even look in the mirror. i had been deep treating it. Should i buy minoxidil 2%? i really need my hair to grow back ;(
