How to fix damaged hair?

Because the outer layer of hair (the keratin sheath) has to be made porous (generally by bleaching) in order to dye it permanently, after a few years it is so full of holes that the naturally overlapping scales of keratin have lifted, producing a damaged appearance. It is possible to apply various types of oil, wax and/or silicon-containing products, which will temporarily give the appearance of having "repaired" the hair, but these products will in themselves build up and you will need more shampoo to remove them, and then yet more "repair" product to make the hair shaft look smooth again.

It is helpful to remember that hair is not alive, any more than fingernails, so it cannot heal or be nourished. It can only be coated and stripped. By far the best solution for you would be to get a beautiful short haircut, enjoy the freedom it gives you, and try some henna or a semipermanent rinse if you want to colour your hair. Good luck and have fun!

How to fix damaged hair?

there is no way to "fix" the damage but there are things u can do to make it look better. I personally like hot oil treatments though some say that they dont work, my dry hair always benefits from them. If there is a lot of damage it might be wise to trim a lot of the damage off for a while and sport a shorter style til u can grow it out. The dyeing will keep damaging your hair but u may want to do less blow drying and straight ironing and it will make your hair at least less damaged. Another route is changing the amount of blonde u use. you may consider lots of blonde highlights instead of dying it all. Or even picking a shade a few shades darker so that ur hair doesnt have to be as bleached.
