HOW CAN I GET MY HAIR BACK TO THE WAY iT USED TO BE?

MY HAIR HAS ALWAYS BEEN LONG, THICK AND HEALTHY... UNTIL ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WHEN I DECIDED TO DYE IT FOR MY SENIOR PROM. MY HAIR IS NATURALLY BLACK SO IT WAS BLEACHED IN ORDER TO GET MEDIUM BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS. EVERYTHING WENT COOL UNTIL ABOUT 5 MONTHS AFTER THE DYE JOB. MY HAIR STARTED TO BREAK OF VERY EASILY, MY ENDS WOULD SPLIT LIKE CRAZY AND MY HAIR BECAME QUITE THIN. BASICALLY, MY HAIR IS DAMAGED.

CURRENTLY I AM WEARING CORNROWS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALWAYS MADE MY HAIR GROW LONG AND THICK BUT IM AFRAID THAT MY HAIR IS SO DAMAGED, IT WILL NEVER BE AS HEALTHY AS IT USED TO BE. MY HAIR DOES GROW, BUT I KEEP HAVING TO GET IT TRIMMED BECAUSE MY ENDS CONTINUE TO SPLIT, ALTHOUGH THE THICKNESS IS COMING BACK. I REALLY LOVE MY HAIR AND I WOULD BE SO HAPPY IF IT COULD JUST GET TO THE LENGTH IT USED TO BE, MAYBE LONGER.

IF ANY AFRICAN AMERICAN LADIES [OR ANYONE WITH KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE WITH AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIR] OUT THERE HAVE ANY ADVICE ON WHAT I CAN DO, PLEASE RESPOND.

I just went through this in February. My hair is already better than ever again. First, eat more vegetables or take a vitamin(Centrum, One A Day, etc). Also,either eat more fish or start taking fish oil supplements(hair will be soooo shiny-trust me). Secondly, forget cornrows. They can make damaged ends even worse. Try wet setting your hair on rollers for a month or two to let your hair rest(Tip: Use a leave in conditioner as a setting lotion). Also, use shampoo only on your scalp because it will dry your damaged hair so badly. Use conditioner the same way you would use shampoo to clean your hair and it will still get clean. Finally, give your ends one good trim and then stop trimming. Use a silicone serum to coat the ends and prevent breakage. Within a month-your hair will be better than before.

girl i feel you ...i had some blonde streaks before and it damaged my hair really bad and my hair got really thin.....to get my hair back healthy i had to cut my hair into a bob to cut most of the dye out ....i really love blonde streaks because its fits my skin color so well,buts it just isn't for me....you may want to go to a hairstylist and let them deep condition and treat your hair for you like every 2 weeks.....
