I’m starting to HATE MY HAIR!

Hey!!
Can I be honest with y’all? Judgement free (lol). I’m so over my natural hair at the moment. I had copper hair then dyed it jet black because the copper was soo high maintenance, and my hair just kept breaking off. I really want big chop and start over new. Do you guys have any products suggestions for color damaged hair? Anywho, thank you for letting me vent and I’ll see you in the next video 🙂

[@chocolatestripes0]

Careful with olaplex...never used it but heard that it's caused hair loss in some ppl. I would stick to your tried and true. And avoid protein treatments until your hair softens/put in a protective style (without false hair) and use grease.

It’s the products you’re using. You don’t have to cut your hair off, just need to find the right products. Try Camille Rose, also Aussie was drying my hair out.

[@margaridasungoluiz7160]

Exactly. And I couldn’t agree more with you. I normally use Cantu living-conditioner but since I ran out of it and couldn’t find it anymore in my country, I started using a different living-conditioner that left my hair brittle and causing more nots, for weeks I couldn’t understand what was going on until I changed brands again

[@JaiB-xr9fl]

Same. African Pride used to dry out my hair. And if she is using color, that dries hair as well. I started using TGIN and grapeseed oil and that really worked for me. I know some ppl can get away with not conditioning their hair after shampooing but conditioning and deep conditioning always worked for me for moisture retention

Being a cosmetologist...bleach/color is cryptonite to our hair. Yes, certain products do help (reconstructors, Ion is my preference, deep conditions i use a bunch of conditioners mixed plus cholesterol. Protein treatments as needed), but if its over processed, most likely, you're going to end up cutting it. That should be discussed if you're going to the salon. Glad you're not afraid to cut and start over b/c yes, it is a pain. That's why I stopped coloring. Yes, i love change, but color scares me to keep starting over. I break off in the crown of the head every time. You're lucky for it just being your ends. You have thick and beautiful hair! Keep loving on it💚

I get that cutting your hair or doing the “big chop” is a quick route but you can revive your hair & bring it back to life, I’ve done it plenty of times. Try protein treatments, other deep conditioner masks, co washes etc.

It's not really quick cause now she's gotta grow the hair back. Also you can't revive damaged hair, you can only mask the damage, cutting off the most damaged parts will help make the hair much healthier and prevent more breakage in this case

I feel your pain! Exactly why I don’t dye my hair anymore! As much as I want to. Highlights don’t seem to be so bad.

U won’t have to worry about so much manipulation and breakage! It’s a good way to transition, because you are going to overall end up just cutting out all that color which is the goal, but u can keep your hair. But if it’s breaking to bad just cut it sis!

[@jacklyneverage3881]

Ok. TGIN has a great protein conditioner and moisturizing conditioner. I highly recommend using those two together. Do the protein first followed by the moisturizing conditioner. Only do a protein conditioner once a month for you hair. You can do the moisturizing deep conditioner every week. When you have dry hair and color. The focus is on protein and moisture balance. You did a protein overload with the hair conditioner that you used. After a protein treatment, always follow up with a moisturizing conditioner or even a nice hot oil treatment to being back the softness of your hair. Ideally, you could have worn your hair in two strand twists or braided or twisted your natural hair down. Next, spray your hair with aloe vera juice or water, follow it with one of those moisturizing sprays with oils and humectants. Finally, seal with a light oil or hair lotion . Do that every day or every other day. That would help with hydration and moisture retention for dry hair. Shampoo and condition hair every week or every two weeks at most. My natural hair with no color gets dry quick and this is what I do. I hydrate and moisturize frequently during the week to keep it soft and supple between hair washes. Hope this helps.

When I used to bleach and color, I would keep a rinse over it. Literally lift the color of my hair, dye it my desired colors, and do a rinse over it. When the rinse rinsed, Id put another rinse in. My childhood hair dresser taught me this at 14 when I started coloring my hair. I would get copper shades a lot and my hair never broke off. Back then they didnt have natural hair products and I did not take good care of my hair. All I did was keep a rinse in, condition when I washed and I never had breakage. I personally liked the color deposit from the rinse but they do make no color hair rinses. Rinses are still my fall back when my hair is dry. In the winter I put a clear rinse over my hair. When I tried the Brazilian blowout, it dried my hair out, I put a clear rinse over it. It saves me from breakage. My daughter has super dry ends, so this summer Im trying a rinse on the dry bottom half of her hair. Hopefully this will preserve that hair. Hope this helps.

I think everyone deals with this with hair color whether they can visibly tell or not. There is no such thing as healthy colored hair. You can make it look healthy via maintenance but it’s compromised no matter what. Your colored hair will never feel as soft/full/lively as your uncolored hair. It’s just science. Your visible damage is minimal which is a blessing and I know you’ll grow it back in no time. Beautiful hair!

[@michelleeja412]

Start over. Your hair will grow back luscious and strong. Please leave the trends alone and go back to the basics and you will love your hair again. Word of advice: leave the combs and brushes alone, finger detangle your fragile hair.

Honestly-a long Mohawk would suit you and also be very chic!

[@tearatieanna4685]

Same thing my hair is going through. I’m almost to the point to chop it off and start over. I too died it and now I regret it so bad

[@vcadoree193]

I would have loved ❤ to see the finished look. Bless You ☺️ ❤️ 💙 💜.

Honestly, I've never dyed my hair, but I do use a 5:1 water & glycerin spray, the 4C Only style cream, and castor oil to seal and moisturize my hair. I've had really wonderful results. I also use African Black soap to wash my hair and that gets it really clean. I use the TGIN hair mask to condition it. I've heard that the temp colored hair creams can be better for your hair if you like playing with color bc they just wash out. Or just adding fake hair or clip ins. Good luck on your journey!

Castor oil, vegetable glycerine, Shea butter and olive oil are my 4c staples. African black soap is amazing for the hair and body. I purchased a huge block of it once 😂 It lasted over a year (cut into smaller bars) and was wonderful, but I prefer the liquid soap. The bar is too organic lol. It had broken pod pieces inside that would scratch the skin. Fine for the hair, but not skin and face!

Your hair is beautiful. Weekly deep conditioning. Also, know your protein / moisture balance levels. The moisture makes it soft , protein strengthens it. Find products that your hair likes, they don’t always have to be expensive. Leave in conditioners can be a game changer. Just make sure you have a good clarifying shampoo and one that moisturizes. You are on your way .

[@aeliciaallen8268]

Yes that hair color has my hair feeling very different

[@afuanieto4438]

I think you should look into Black Girl Curls, they have great tips on caring for natural hair. Product wise - I would suggest the RedKen acidic bond shampoo and conditioner. I think finding a really good natural hair stylist will help too. Your hair is beautiful!

[@hyleiakidd8327]

I definitely have dealt with this after coloring my hair and yes I had to cut mine all off as well

[@marnitafloyd9750]

Yes! Bleach and dye can be SO drying! Each week wash. One week use protein, the next week use hot oil treatment. The condition will improve in about a month.

[@pgwebb1]

Girl. I’m with you. As much as I love my natural hair, I have moments of frustration to the cutting point. But patience and time. The cut looks good. Great job.

[@doodyhanks1]

Yes. I stopped coloring my hair (though I liked to) because I dealt with the same issue every time. I’ve encountered people who don’t seem to have this issue.

[@LavenderDream-j5h]

This happened to me before as well. I don't dye my hair anymore. I just wear wigs or weaves in a color I would like to try on myself so I don't mess up my natural hair. And I do not care if someone hates wigs or weaves. I didnt ask and I don't care. It works for me and thats all that matters. My natural hair is doing great.

[@DrLadyBugM]

Say that! I will dye, fry, and lay a wig out in a heartbeat. This way, when I decide to wear my hair, it's healthy and ready to rock.

[@ynobeplease]

That’s what I do now too! My hair thanks me for it lol

[@Elizabeth-tq6rk]

The Aussie hair products are great and using a detangling brush and spray works too! Your hair is beautiful!😊💕

[@bd10232003]

It’s beautiful at either length! ❤ Do what you gotta do sis! It’s only hair! ❤

[@brittanyb5942]

You have beautiful hair!

[@JessAnonymous]

Girly didnt even care about our advice lol she went ahead and cut it. As you should! Hair grows back! I never dyed my hair however i cut my hair recently cause i wanted a fresh start and all the same length (it was nearly waist length) and i love it!! So much easier to wash, detangle etc. Natural hair is all about learning how to do your hair tbh and that can go for any hair type and texture. Your hair texture and thickness is gorgeous

[@earthangellibra2925]

I'm dealing with this and I don't color. I live in the Caribbean but I work in an office environment which is EXTREMELY cold. So I believe this is the reason my hair is always dry and brittle. I just bought the batana oil to try as I heard it's great for these issues...🙏

[@elaynewinston6366]

I love Mielle ,aunt Jackie’s and design essentials products also I stick to rinse and not dyes .. I wish you the best ❤️your hair will be back in a blink of an eye .. it’s gorgeous

[@debbieward-qo8zv]

Hot oil treatments, deep conditioning, you need a water-based leave-in conditioner for hydration or moisturizer!!!!
