Will dying my bleached blonde hair dark brown make it healthier and stop snapping off?

I've had bleached blonde hair for 3 yrs now and last year I got a short bob. I've been trying to grow it now for the last 9 months and don't seem to be getting anywere! Thinking of buying a over the counter dye. Don't really want to go dark even tho I've had it before and I know I suit it. It's just am at my wits end trying to grow it! lol xx

Will dying my bleached blonde hair dark brown make it healthier and stop snapping off?

no. the hair is "snapping off" because it's is fried due to the bleaching process. further dying is not going to make it any better.

your best bet is to cut off all the damaged ends and let it grow out.

Try dying it as close to natural so you can grow it out. I think going darker is much healthier than going lighter it.

I would give your hair a break by dying it back to the natural color by a professional and let it be!

Will dying my bleached blonde hair dark brown make it healthier and stop snapping off?

I would color it as close to your natural hair color as possible. Bleaching it blonde will hurt your hair and you should get it deep conditioned and trimmed often.

Will dying my bleached blonde hair dark brown make it healthier and stop snapping off?

it will make it worse, because you have bleached it. the dye will take to it good because your hair is so light, but it will be bad for it. you might even risk loosing more hair. do not buy a box dye over the counter! it has metals in the color, which is extremely bad for hair. if you buy any box color that has the word "ash" in the color, it will turn your hair a nasty green because of the bleach chemicals you already have in it. go to a beauty shop and buy the color you want and the developer, and mix it yourself if you still decide to dye it. just be careful how often you do it. the more you do it, the worse it is.

i recomend you cut your split ends, and then let your hair grow out. that is the best possible thing you could do, even though it does take a while. when it grows out about three or four inches, i would dye the blonde your natural hair color, that way you won't have the roots and your tips different shades.

stop dyeing your hair. you fried it! just let it grow out naturally.

I did this once myself to go from blonde to brown and ended up with bright green! I'd recommend having this done at a beauty shop or you'll be paying them anyway to fix the mess.

Will dying my bleached blonde hair dark brown make it healthier and stop snapping off?

no..the damage is from the bleach not the color. If its already breaking adding a coat of another color will just be more weight added and lead to more breaking- you have to grow it out.You should get a deep conditioning treatment and that could help with some of the breaking, and using a shampoo with a fortifying wax in it like pantene may help protect it from breaking.

Exactly how do you think putting more chemicals on your hair is going to make it less brittle?

I would advise you to do several deep conditioning treatments first. If you are going to dye your hair, go get it professionally done this time to try to prevent further damage.

Maybe even consider not dying your hair for a long time so it can recover.

The hair that is overprocessed is what's snapping off. Bleach damages hair and that's why it breaks. I would dye it a color that would blend in with new growth and try to grow it all back out. Then have a professional take it back lighter if you like it that way- there's a way to go blonde without totally killing your hair. A good hair colorist will be able to advise you. Who ever has been doing your hair probably isn't the one I'd go to.

Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot you can do. If you dye your hair dark, the color might not take because your hair has been so damaged - leaving you with a brassy color. Not Good. So, try some deep conditioners/hot oils and see if it will help get it back into shape. And, make sure to get a trim every 3-6 months to cut off all the split ends, which cause frizziness and coarseness. Besides, healthier hair grows faster.

Please save your money and have your hair professionally done. It is very hard to go from light to dark. You may want a hairdresser to put some low lights in.

Will dying my bleached blonde hair dark brown make it healthier and stop snapping off?

i don't think the color matters much- my hair is brown and I dye it often and it stays dry... but grows keep your ends cut often maybe once a month and it will increase growth...I have let mine grow out and keeping it cut helps and try using a leave in cond.. that worked good on my hair--- the more dryness you have the more breakage you have.

dont botherdying it again, use got2b hottie! its hot oil treatments and a patent pending leave in instant mender that actually repairs split ends so they say. i have it and i use them both after i dye mny hair to help it back on the way to recovery. got2b hottie also has deep rescue shampoo and conditioner. you may want to consider that. i use midnight expressions to keep my hair healthy after dying so you might want to consider blonde expressions by pantene pro-v

Well certainly don't get a box color from a pharmacy. You don't need to put a permanent color on your hair - you need to use a semi-permanent color. Honestly, I think you'll probably need a filler - which means you'll have to go to a salon. The color may not take evenly, and it may wash out in just a week or two.

You need a protein treatment MOST - I've used ApHogee protein treatment and moisturizer after I bleached my hair and it stopped the breakage and made it softer.

Don't put a permanent color on your hair. Don't use a box dye from WalMart or Target or the pharmacy. At least go to Sally's and buy a professional SEMI permanent dye.

Bleach is so not good for your hair. When I color my hair, the color is pretty for a while yes, but after about 2 or 3 months it starts needing a deep conditioning. I would rather have my brown healthy hair than blonde brittle hair. Just my 2 cents.

Will dying my bleached blonde hair dark brown make it healthier and stop snapping off?

I'd dye it as close to your natural color as you can so that you can just let it be and let it grow out with out damaging it further. Dying it darker will not damage your hair as much as dying it blonde did because when you dye your hair lighter, the bleach actually strips your hair follicle, making it weaker. When you dye it darker, you're not stripping the hair follicle, you're only depositing color. My hairdresser explained this all to me when I went through a similar incident. But, if you can afford it, I'd say go to a professional to have it fixed. There's nothing better than someone who knows what they're doing! Good luck!

Your hair is damaged. A trick my mom taught me... take a bottle of olive oil and work the oil through your hair. Put a shower cap on and let the oil stay in overnight. In the morning, wash it as usual. The olive oil washes right out but leaves your hair more nourished and healthier. Repeat on a weekly basis until your hair is back to normal.

Also... don't cut it! I used to have hair nearly to my knees and I just didn't cut it or trim it. The damages ends naturally fall out. As soon as you go in to get it trimmed, the stylist will chop of all your split ends and then some and your hair will progressively get shorter instead of longer. Try to keep it tied up as well so it's not damaged by external sources and it cuts down on the need to brush it as often as brushing can damage your hair. Good luck!!

OK, literally just did what you're talking about. My hair was bleached and I went out and bought a box to try to dye it a nice dark brown. Changed my mind last minute and decided to go to a salon. THANK GOODNESS I did. My hair was so damaged that the box would have made it a green color she said, and that I needed a treatment to help my hair so the color wouldn't fade. Not only did the treatment result in my color looking really good still (3 weeks later) considering I had bleached hair, but it also feels healthier than it has in years!
