Bleaching?

I bleached my hair almost a month ago (well, the 19th it'll be a month) and I want to do it again around the 30th b/c it is starting to fade and my roots are starting to show. I had 2 use 2 boxes b/c I previosly colored my hair and it has a red tone and it is thick. This time though, I only plan to use 1 box. My hair kind of got damaged and I have split ends ( I also have't gotten a hair cut since february but I'm getting one around the 16th). I really want to do my hair again, but I don't want to have to regret it healthwise for my hair. Any tips?

Bleaching?
oh this is my life story too.


i got my hair bleached [im a natural brunette] on presidents day and my roots came back so i just dyed my hair black.





try dying it back to natural. that'd be sooo much healthier.
Reply:Just do the roots.
Reply:nobody cares about your hair. maybe you should shave it off
Reply:Home bleaching kits destroy your hair because they strip it of color and nutrients. You're going to make your hair more dry and brittle by using it but that's your choice. You can try to condition and use treatments but it'll do you little good. That's just the nature of the bleach job. Keep the split ends trimmed off regularly and avoid the bleach, your hair will be healthier and look a lot better.
Reply:OK if you do not want to go the best way (proffesional because they use different chemical dyes than over the counter it's easier on your hair ) then get that one box of hair color..... ONLY place it on your roots until it starts to turn.... most people will place the remaining bleach on the rest of the hair to do a touch up but you don't have to if it doesn't look faded. If your roots come up looking really brassy or reddish then I suggest using a toner. This is called a "double-process" if you do not want to use a toner and you have alot of red in your hair, you can use what is called a shampoo cap and semi permanent ASH hair dye. Ash means there is green in the color which counter balances the red tones! A shampoo cap is equal parts shampoo and semi perm hair dye!


Hope this helps!





OH and condition condition condition, get shampoo for DRY DAMAGED hair such as Paul Mitchell or Biosilk AND get Biosilk hair oil (you can get that at Target) you can also sleep in tons of hair conditioner or oil and wrap your hair with seran wrap! Sounds goofy and you look crazy but it works!
Reply:if you can afford a hair color specialists definitely use them. Out of a box will never look quite right. If you can't put "drabber" in your hair after coloring. It will tone your hair down. Drabber is by the hair color produts. Loreal is the best
Reply:Use a hot oil treatment on your hair and really make sure you moisturize properly before you color it again. I also recommend rubbing coconut oil in your hair every day after you wash it. Use only the best hair care products too (Garnier is good).
Reply:The biggest issue with bleaching is not overlapping the product. This is nearly impossible for you to not do at home. I strongly urge you to go to a salon. Your hair already is suffering. Home bleaching is the number one color correction I have to deal with in salon. If you like being light- do it right. In the salon. Best of luck.
