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.

HELP!!!
by: Victorie

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 ;(
