How I saved my EXTREMELY damaged bleached hair - STAYING BLONDE ✨ fried + dead to thick + healthy

[@diaryofeireann]

Do you use heat on your hair? Let me know ☺⬇

[@TrinaGallo]

No f-ing way! 😊 EVER!

[@itschristamaria]

Barely ever! I’m with you on the heartless curls techniques 🫶🏻

[@melodiaputri3727]

yes but only when i’m in the rush

[@sweariefaerie9621]

Only if I have to go somewhere in the cold.

[@21hairgirl]

Only a ceramic and tourmaline blow dryer (I flat iron only 3-4 times a year for very special events.) I always use leave in conditioner spray that also has thermal protection in it.

[@theeverydaythrive]

1. Cold air / air dry 2. No heat 3. Heatless curls 4. Wear protective hairstyle to bed (e.g. loose bun, braid/plait) 5. Silk pillowcase 6. Wash hair twice a week 7. Hair mask / hair oil (alternate) 8. leave in conditioner / detangler / heat protectant 9. Brush hair from ends up

[@jenjen7169]

Thanks

[@kinleybrault9642]

if i keep my scalp clean, it helps more with hair growth. If I wash it once a week, it slows down my growth. Saying that from experience.

[@ametrineambrosia4929]

Brush from the ends up and tangles it

I had lung cancer, and I had chemo and my hair fell out....when the treatment was over I went to the health food store and they suggested "millet seed capsules"...I had beautiful hair in only a few weeks....just a tip for those out there who need to grow hair

[@pamelawalmsley5971]

It is beyond painful when someone else destroys your hair. I had waist length thick vergin hair. I have red hair. And the lady suggested I have a Henna treatment. Long story short. It turned my hair green. She said no problem I'll just put a bleach pack on your hair and it will remove the green. Needless to say it fried my long hair into what looked like wet cotton. When she started blowing it out it snapped off. I walked out of that Salon with a short pixie cut. This happened to me when I was 18 years old. And it was so traumatic that I taught myself how to do everything related to my hair, myself. Now the only time I go into a Salon is to get a trim.

[@joannarimmer6060]

Me too. Most stylists don’t give a damn about our hair.

[@diaryofeireann]

I am so sorry that you had that experience that sounds absolutely awful. I don't blame you for doing everything yourself! I'm glad your hair is back in a good condition ❤

[@Jon14722]

Well done for the recovery

[@xxkissmeketutxx]

Yep, one salon MELTED my hair with bleach and still had the nerve to demand full payment. The blistering omg. It took over 3 years for my scalp to recover. If I knew at the time how much damage they did I would have sued. On the flip side, I've since learned so much that random people ask me how I did my hair when I go shopping now 😂

[@Ibetala]

When horrible things like that happen the only solution for mama’s who are so tired of doing their own hair is to go to a renowned master stylist a few times per year. Just put it in the budget and fly to wherever the stylist is that you know is the best in your region. It seems like overkill but it is a big effort that ends up paying off for people who just need their hair to be perfect for them and no less..

[@candicemorrison304]

Unbelievable that a salon would A) ruin your beautiful hair and the B) laugh at it! 🤦🏻‍♀️ They should be shut down! 🤬 Disgusting! Your hair is so beautiful! 🥰 I'm so glad you learned so much from such an awful experience, and now your sharing that knowledge! Such an amazing thing to do! 🥰 You are truly just amazing! ❤

[@alyzak.8997]

That hairdresser sounds incredibly rude. Sorry for you experience

[@diaryofeireann]

[@HarlieHarlot]

I'm so sorry she did that to you. She wasn't a professional. Professionals will ask you to come in and see what they can do. You know...so they can save their reputation!!! Sounds like they the type to not care if your hair was processed and do whatever to get a paycheck.

[@pokerqAK47]

Yeah that’s why I avoid them for a year now. Every time they ruin my hair making me look like a watermelon

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

All excellent tips (guy who's super enthusiastic about his own long hair here) May I also recommend putting a cheap shower cap over the hair mask and either using a heated cap or a warm towel over the top. Helps it really, really work. I also use olaplex 3 maybe once or twice a month, just to keep everything in tip top shape.

[@diaryofeireann]

such a good tip! I will 100% try that out ☺ thank you so much for sharing!!

[@twoleftfeet9626]

I use olaplex 2 every week to heal my hair

[@nnlytiak]

This really inspires me. I've always had long thick hair all of my life. I've been blonde for around 7 years now and have been on the verge of a mental breakdown from my hair loss after getting my top roots done followed by the underneath a few weeks later.. I think it was a combination of that and one evening of using a hair dryer which certainly didn't help my already compromised hair. You're hair looks great I really hope I can formulate similar results by continuing to take the steps! I can't believe those hairstylists said that to you.. I swear, I fel like sometimes these people are out to get you & your hair 😭

[@diaryofeireann]

thank you so much for such a kind comment. I promise you've got this!! I felt so hopeless but being consistent and trying to stay positive is the best thing you can do ☺

[@gabyflores9412]

I've dyed my hair pink for over a year now, I love it. I always get compliments on it and it makes me feel pretty. I know you shouldn't attach value to hair, but I feel special with it. That being said the damage the bleach causes is starting to take its toll. I'm gonna give myself a year following your tips.

[@diaryofeireann]

I 100% understand! Please do come back and let me know if any of these helped ☺

Hii :) did you already see some changes if youve followed the tips ?

[@Karrambide]

I went to Ulta to completely just chop my hair to a restarting point and I can tell you that my stylist was understanding. We both related to picking at the scalp and having issues with a bad scalp. She’s having me come in every six weeks to trim it so I can heal my hair.

[@diaryofeireann]

That sounds like you've found someone who really cares! ☺ your hair will be on the mend in no time. You've got this!!

Less poo? 😅 💩

[@__-gn3tp]

I used to have super long hair (below my bum) and I made an impulsive decision to bleach it in quarantine. Then kept bleaching for a year. Half of my hair fell off one day after overlapping old bleached sections with new bleached sections. I completely stopped bleaching after that tragic incident and now it's been 1.5 years so I have shoulder length virgin hair again and whatever remains from the previous bleaching applications below that.. in comparison to the bleached parts, virgin hair feels soooo much softer and thicker and dries immediately after a shower when the bleached hair needs like 8 hours. I don't think I'll never bleach my hair again after this, it was super traumatising and for a whole year I was in fear that I'd lose my all of my hair... As whatever still remained was slowly falling off after every shower and brushing. I think this is something that people who bleach their hair (especially for the first time) should be aware of as hair loss is extremely common. And from my experience, you can't bring that back to life no matter what you do (I did everything you mentioned on the video). I've just waited until it grew out.

[@elinorawestfall]

I went from brunette to blond and I looove the color but hate the damage. I used to just use shampoo and conditioner, then brush my hair, blow dry it and I’m done. Now I use, normal shampoo, purple shampoo, purple conditioner, hydrating mask, smoothing cream, leave in conditioner and detangler and i still can’t brush it. I lost a lot of hair too from trying to brush through it and now it feels like I have half my hair left. It’s so frustrating! Anyway. I think I didn’t leave the mask on for long enough (just 15mins) so I’ll try to leave it on for longer. And will try some of the other techniques.

[@animaldictatorship5965]

Thank you for this video, I loved that all the products recommended are cruelty-free as well.

[@21hairgirl]

People can have healthy hair even if it’s bleached blonde. They need to use hair masks, leave in conditioner spray, k18 and/or Olaplex. Always use heat protection spray when using heat tools. Use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. Use a microfiber towel, sleep on a silk or satin pillow case. Only use cloth scrunchies and not the tight hair ties. Use swim shampoo to remove chlorine. Regular shampoo doesn’t remove it from hair. Get routine hair cuts. I’m a licensed cosmetologist. Also her hair is gorgeous!!! 😍

[@diaryofeireann]

YES! 🙌🏻 Thank you so much for sharing all this helpful information ☺ and thank you 💕

[@21hairgirl]

@@diaryofeireann Actually you can dye/bleach hair every six weeks and it still remain healthy. It depends on the type of bleach used since some bleaches are much stronger than others. I like Blonde Me Schwarzkopf bleach and Redken’s bleach both contain hair bonders already in the bleach. However I still would mix Olaplex 1 into it for the most damage repair and protection. Also I always recommend mixing in Olaplex 1 into bleach, hair color, perm or relaxer solution so there is a lot less damage to the hair. Then after rinsing follow up with Olaplex 2. Those products are only sold for licensed professionals however Olaplex 0 and 3 are sold for public usage. 0 and 3 are to be used before shampooing and conditioning the hair. The only difference is that 0 and 3 have the same damage repair and hair bonding ingredient but it is a smaller amount. I heard it’s around 20-25% while Olaplex 1 contains 50% of the ingredient.

[@krystiesolfyre5340]

But if you need to repair and protect, then it is damaging the hair at the end of the day. I think it’s important to just be clear, bleach is meant to open the shaft and lift the hair and that is damaging, you can ‘repair’ surface level but never get it back to its original condition. I had to learn that from getting highlights and realizing only doing crazy amounts of masks and bond repair and having to keep dying it for it to look okay just wasn’t worth it to me. Plus the chemicals your exposed to. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@makennanelson222]

I had a bad experience with a hair stylist. I asked for a dark brown and she gave me black. Like jet black hair. I was not happy and when I asked if we could go lighter she was rude and didn’t answer me for months. My now hair stylist is great and does a wonderful job of getting me back to dirty blonde. She walks me through everything and makes me feel comfortable.

And for the rosemarry oil it's concetrate for hair and it cause white hair, so we have to put five drops on a spoon of an elevator oil

[@Phoenixrises89]

Thank you for this… loved it💗💗💗 Only thing is the silk pillow case, just in case you didn’t know… please use a vegan silk/satin pillowcase because the way they boil those beautiful silkworms alive so that they are forced to open their cocoons (where they get the silk) is so horrendous and such an immense amount of suffering until they die, is really not worth it. I certainly could not contribute to that after I saw it. They are so sensitive and close their cocoons when frightened. Just wanted you to know in case you didn’t 🥲

My long-time stylist damaged my hair in July 2023. She has been my stylist since I was in 10th grade and I have always had the same thing done every 4 months a relaxer touch up and trim, and I would trim my own hair in between usually 8 weeks after each visit. Now back in July I went in for my regular relaxer touch-up and trim, and for some reason, she pulled the relaxer through the full length of my hair, and when she was done she had cut my hair about 4-5 inches instead of the normal half-inch trim. I didn't notice until I got home that my hair was damaged and thin. I went in with thick healthy waist-length hair and left with it mid-back and damaged, fast forward to today and my hair is now shoulder length and damaged, I cut as much as I could myself without sacrificing all of my length. I have done weekly protein using Aphoghee and Olaplex followed by a moisturizing deep conditioner. How long did it take you to recover from the damage? I am 7 months post damage, and I the only time I use heat is every four months at the salon. It was so heartbreaking, as I have trusted this woman for years, and she has always been honest and helpful when it came to my hair. I have canceled all my future appointments and will never set foot in a salon even for a trim. Please ladies tell me how long did it take to get back to healthy hair? I really do not want to cut my hair into a bob, it took 3-4 years to grow my hair out from my last short cut, and I loved my long hair. Why would my stylist do this to me? I am still pissed over it and it will be a year in July 2024.

[@lhuynh731]

I don’t used heat on my hair unless I dye my hair 3x a year only. So drying my hair is only air drying only. It’s saved my hair. Also, I braid my hair at night ( lower pony tail only ). If I do it higher it just going to annoy me and my scalp. Plus comb my hair with wide tooth comb from the bottom up so my hair is safe.

[@kardelenkoc9746]

my roots show up in 2 weeks so i have to bleach them once a month. because of pcos and testosterone my hair got thinner and thinner in time. and it stretches when its wet, and when its dry it IS dry. even i need to use lots of hair care products every single day but it just masks the problem

[@sof6557]

hi! i recommend you use a leave in conditioner where it says on the bottle that it is only a leave in conditioner

[@galadriel3134]

My hair is a bit longer than yours. I never use hair driers period.Only schampoo without sulphates. Of course brush from ends, otherwise you compact any tangles. Washing twice a week is enough for long hair.Also use John Frida silicone drops for ends after every wash, hair doesn't tangle as bad if you do. And cut ends often to prevent split ends.

[@vanessashapon5944]

My hair was really fried, all the products I used ment more washing which made the problem worse. I got kinami7 hair butter which kept my hair soft and the ends didn't frizz or get crunchy. I just reapplied each night to my ends and by morning they didn't get crunchy or tangled. No silk pillow case, cool air to dry because when it was wet it was stringy, no braids because that pulls the hair that is weak.

[@VampliFyer]

Thank you so much! I'm gonna do what you said! Feel relieved it's savable! My mum told me to brush from the bottom! So true! Also, what do you think about coconut oil? My sisters swears by it. You know you said about letting it dry naturally, mine was only bleached the other day, and when I've washed it, the most fragile bit (at the back) feels so weak and soft and sticky almost that I want to hair dry it just so it isn't so vulnerable, and when I've left it to air dry it just seems to stay wet 😢 do I just wait longer? I've gone from really long thick black hair (box dyed for years) to my natural auburn colour, bleaching was the only way, and I just, like you, don't want to lose the lovely long shiny hair!! I'll defo get the hair mask, it's a 10 and a shampoo brush when I get paid! 🥰

I highly recommend investing in a good quality leave in conditioner too! R+Co has an amazing one called sun catcher. Mind you, this brand is pretty pricy. But they have a large variety of products (like over 200 products on their website). I don't use their most expensive line. But I love love love their products, and a little dime size is more than enough! I ended up getting a free sample size of Sun Catcher, which is about 1oz, and it's not even halfway gone, and I got it about three months ago. I pretty much use it every day.

thank you so much for this recommendation! 🥰

I recently starting doing these things and started also go to a high end saloon. I get highlights about every 2.5-3.5 months, I went the last time end of august and got my next apppointmet 19.dec. Also started using all Olaplex and bought a silk pillowcase etc. Oh and yeh i do the same before bed, I put some olaplex oil in the ends and put it in a loos bun and secure it with a crocodile clip…huge difference.

[@diaryofeireann]

I'm so glad to hear that! ☺

[@kmpilimpa9333]

I’m honestly so mentally connected with my hair. My hair before is my hair in my pfp. Went to a salon yesterday and now my hair are fried, white and my bangs are yellow and i was so sad and desperate that icutted it off to my shoulders and all day i felt like vomiting from sadness. Now i will have to deal with it somehow until i change colour

[@Olivia-bs5wj]

I feel you. Last months I've lost sooo much hair it's crazy. Start to think it's the tea I'm drinking so I quit. But I had the worst outgrowth which I wanted to bleach and I told my hair dresser to NOT do anything on the length. She complained I had dry hair but STILL bleach the length so now it's so damaged and thin, and not the colour I like. My hair is literally the only thing I like and do care about, it was beautiful like 3 months ago but now it's a completely different hair and the worst part is it takes so long to grow.... maybe a wig is the right solution

[@julietv3863]

I just totally fried off my hair I actually feel your pain I did it yesterday too, by accident. Idk what I was thinking but I used fanola bleach and it didn’t work it turned my hair orange so I got mad and bleached my roots wet again w Same stupid crap and lost sooooo much hair it came out in clumps. I’m supposed to get married soon. What am I going to do? I was able to tone it but so much is gone and the purple toning shampoos turned mid shafts bright purple. I cant Even Touch it Right now l I’ll also buy a new mask I do have something called fiber fix I’ll try too. There enough hair to camo it but it’s very very badly ruined right now 😭I feel your pain

[@diaryofeireann]

i'm so sorry that you're going through that right now and I can 100% relate. I felt like I didn't know who I was without my hair lol. I promise you that you will get back to feeling like yourself. Stay consistent with your hair care and you will get there before you know it ❤

[@TrinaGallo]

OUCH! I don’t blame you for wanting to vomit all day. I’d probably be in the luny bin! The consultation is REALLY Important. Go with your gut. I trust my colorist. Even the shampoo/ conditioner people treat my hair like the finest silk. It costs more ($500 is nothing when it comes to my hair!), but it lasts longer and the results are flawless! I’ve NEVER heard of a salon doing what she and you described. Where do you guys live?

[@kristikunwar6271]

Same to you friend😢😢😢

[@EJMG22]

I have different colors so I am blonde get thin color of my natural base, different color blondes looks more natural and less upkeep and damage

[@peggykrucz3158]

This was very helpful! I have very thick curly hair that is damaged and breaking from straightening it all the time! I am going to try some of your tips! What did you mean about not using argon oil with heat? I use argon oil all the time but maybe I'm using it wrong! Thanks for the info!💜

[@diaryofeireann]

hi! Thank you so much I'm glad it helped 🥰 Sorry I should've been more specific. Argan oil isn't effective when using it as a heat protectant as it can only withstand up to a certain temperature before heat damage occurs!

[@Mbe2224-tw8gr]

Thank you for sharing your story! How do you handle hair growth? I personally don't like to see my growth and I try to hide it using a powder... btw, your hair is gorgeous! : )

[@jessterflies]

Do you use the leave in conditioner every day? Or just wash day? Do you put it on wet or dry hair? Thanksxx

[@paulal6226]

your hair looks so good, but i hope you're deep cleansing in between cause you use a hell load of silicones and poly fatty oils which I'd say it's like the make-up of the hair, you're not seeing your natural hair, but a covered version of it! Also, none of these products are valid for Curly Method (if anyone was wondering). Again, you can definitely have beautiful hair and minimize breakage with silicones, but don't let them build up or it'll fire back!!

[@jMichaels878]

Your hair looks INCREDIBLE now!!! I have hope for myself now lol. One question- after that pic from before where it was super damaged, did you have to cut all the damaged/split ends off? Or did you just start healing it as best you could and maybe give little trims along the way? Asking because I have hair down to my mid-back that a hair salon recently fried- the popular consensus is if I want it healthy I have to cut all the damage off or it'll just keep splitting and getting worse, which is horrifying to me because I'd have to cut an entire foot off up to my shoulders then, and I've tried to get it that long for years.

[@diaryofeireann]

Thank you so much ❤ So they told me that all of the dead hair (up to the tops of my ears) was going to have to be cut off. I didn't want to do the chop all at once so I gradually trimmed the damaged hair off while caring for the rest of my hair. I hope that helps! Stay hopeful I promise you can get your hair back to where you want it ☺

[@KPNoonz]

Thank you for making this video! It gives me hope

[@diaryofeireann]

Of course, no problem at all ☺ You've got this!

[@GildaDouglas]

All your face expressions are so beautiful and graceful wow that make you even more beautiful

[@diaryofeireann]

This is such a nice comment 🥰 thank you so much!!

[@angelaymonique9020]

I wish I didn’t need heat on my hair 😭 I have curly thin hair so if I want it down and nice I have to blow dry it & straighten the baby hairs 😢

[@SamanthaLuckow]

Three years ago, I had long, healthy black dyed hair. It was super healthy despite the dye. I went to a salon for a balayage, and the stylist removed the black dye, turning my hair orange. Then, she applied bleach all over my hair and left the salon unexpectedly, saying she'd be right back. My mom and I didn't know how long to leave the bleach in, so we probably left it in too long. My entire head turned blonde, which was not what I wanted at all. I'm still traumatized by this experience, and even after three years, my hair is only about 75% back to normal.

[@SamanthaLuckow]

If you guys have any tips please let me know right now I’m just still cutting out the bleach and my hair is naturally brown.

[@shailyy3202]

[@letstalkmentalhealth7020]

Hi one thing to say has been amazing is solgar skin hair and nails vitamins. I noticed a difference big time! I'm in process of sorting my frazzled hair.. I thought it was falling out but now I realise how the bleach has ruined it even though I've only bleached it once last year and had braids before that. Thanks for the tips I am determined to get my hair healthy again! 🥰

[@diaryofeireann]

Thank you so much for this recommendation! I will have to try those ☺ and no problem at all, you've got this!

[@danielamaria1527]

thank you girl, did you get a haircut before starting the process? my hair was fried and extremely damage due to a keratin done wrong. i was sad because i like my long hair but now im starting to take care of my short hair and i also decided to stop doing keratins.

[@YvonneAbner-fg2oy]

Sooo helpful. I fried my hair. It's gummy and gross Going to get new products tomorrow to start over

[@PsiPhy]

When you touch up your roots try a 9AA and developer 20- ratio 1:1 don't go through all of it and save from being further damaged. USACosmetologist😊

[@twoleftfeet9626]

Mask instead of conditioner, leave in conditioner, hair oil and no heat are the KEY things. Also DO NOT wash your hair too often. Once every 5-7 days if your hair is medium/thick

[@Olivia-bs5wj]

But my hair gets oily literally the day after I wash it

[@twoleftfeet9626]

@Olivia that means the oil isn't being removed properly when you wash it. You need to use professional grade shampoo and wash your scalp TWICE. The first time you wash it the shampoo won't foam up. The second time, it should foam like mad. Professional shampoo only foams when your hair is clean. Shop shampoos have foaming agents in them and they also deposit a lot of oil on the scalp

[@Red_Owl]

So glad I saw your video bc I was having a bad day for same reasons, feeling like it's doomed! Now I have hope again. One question - hope you see this, I have curly hair so if I use the shampoo brush you think it'll be okay? For shampoo? Also I am curious why you should wash out rosemary oil... if its not pure like the brand you suggested?

[@diaryofeireann]

I'm so glad ❤ Yes you can 100% use! Just make sure you're using the shampoo brush properly. This oil is used as a scalp treatment to encourage hair growth - not for your actual hair itself if that makes sense. So it will leave your hair looking greasy if it's not washed out!

[@daughterofaking5297]

Flona reconstructing mask is really good and olaplex is really good as well

[@diaryofeireann]

thank you so much for these recommendations ☺

[@k.and.i]

I just bleached my roots again but because I do it myself, I can't help but get it on my lengths, I have a short inverted Bob, and now it's mush 😢😢 I'm ordering the osmo now

[@elainecogar9071]

I paid $120 for a silk pillowcase I used it for a couple of months did not notice any difference so I threw it away didn't like it.
