I dyed at home one too many times! My slightly longer than chin length hair is F R I E D. I've got a trim scheduled but don't want to go too short.
Are there any treatments I can do at home? Yes, it's that penny and time saving that got me here but I'm desperate.
Any advice on what to say to my stylist, or what she might suggest that really helps?

sadly, nothing is going to repair your split, damaged ends except cutting them off. olaplex is a godsend, if you can have someone do a treatment on you. do not fall for b3 or anything a salon tells you is similar, because it does not work the same way. olaplex will repair your bonds but is not a deep conditioning treatment or anything. to restore moisture, do coconut oil soaks (up to 2 hours if you used direct dye). wash twice with shampoo to remove. if your hair is protein sensitive, use some argan oil instead.

Friend did this many years ago. She had to get a very short hair cut and let it grow out.

I would trim off all the damaged parts. Hair is a renewable resource so your situation is only temporary. I use hair color that washes out within a month. You might like to try something like that, of a more temporary nature.

It's also a good idea to remember for the future that it's not just hair dye damaging your hair. Every shampoo, every blow dry, every hot iron, most products, also damage your hair. For dyed hair it's important to let hair be natural as much as possible (since you are starting with already damaged hair no matter how nice your salon dye is.) Try washing your hair less often, like only once or twice a week if you can. Use very gentle shampoo and conditioner. Commit to washing it when you can let it air dry as much as possible and consider going to a style that uses less heat styling.
I have home dyed my hair blond for over a decade and it's not fried. Why? Because I do everything I can to be kind and treat it gently. I need a trim badly because I haven't had it cut for over a year, but it's in good shape otherwise. I have started using professional dyes lately just to be a bit nicer to it. I picked them up from Sally Beauty Supply.

My hair was fried after a colorist didn't glaze my hair after coloring. For future reference, do they sell glaze you can use if you do it at home?

They have it on Amazon and possibly still at Sally Beauty. Also Clairol "Jazzing" in clear. Online and probably at Sally Beauty too. |

I've been coloring my hair at home for over 10 years now. My hair is soft and shiny, thanks to the products I use, and what I don't do to it. I threw my hair dryer away when my hair became wavy/curly after reading how much damage it does to your hair. I won't use any heat products on it at all-that includes straightening irons. I wash my hair once a week (yeah I know that sounds crazy, but it's dry hair and that's when it needs it). I'm careful about the products I use and try to keep them to the minimum-shampoo, conditioner and styling lotion in my case. I just got my hair cut for the first time in over a year. It'd grown to almost my waist and now it's just below my collar bone. I love it, and my hair grows fast and quickly. I wash my hair in the evenings and it takes about 5 hours for it to dry naturally-that's because of the curls, and my hair-which while the strands are thin I have a huge amount of them on my head so my hair is thick-it makes thick braids for instance. For most people it wouldn't take this long for their hair to dry naturally. Washing hair every day, every other day is too harsh for hair unless it's oily. |

PS What kind of hair do you have-straight or curly? That will help me advise you on products or treatments you can do at home.

I have never had a glaze applied after getting my hair colored. Is it only certain types of hair that need it? My hair seems to be in great shape.
OP - I'll ditto the Olaplex suggestions. My dd has had her hair bleached and then vibrantly colored four times. Olaplex has been a great help.
