How to fix bleached ombre hair?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Ruined my hair from bleaching it at the salon…was trying to go from black (I’ve got natural dark hair w/blue-black dye in it) to platinum blonde but ruined it after the first round. The texture is awful. How can this be fixed fast!!

Once the texture goes it’s pretty much gone. How do you look with short hair?

No wayy.

Well, you can spend a bunch of money trying to “fix” bleach fried hair and fail completely and be out that money or you can understand that once you can see hair it is a dead and unchanging thing, that it does grow back and next time don’t try to go from dark brunette with black dye to platinum blonde because, as you now understand, this does not work at all.

I am not a hair expert and have never bleached my hair. However, my hair somehow got damaged. It was rough and tangled like it was Velcro. I’d comb it, and it would instantly tangle after the comb passed through. My stylist wanted to cut it all off. I hate short hair on myself and begged off. I researched. Here’s what helped me:

  1. Use a bond-building protein treatment, e.g. Aphogee, Olaplex. This alone helped my hair a LOT, and I’ve read experts recommend it for bleach damage, too.

  2. No hot tools. None.

  3. Deep hydrate every other shampoo. I use a protein deep conditioner.

If your hair is really, really damaged, as in breaking off in clumps, or if the above doesn’t help, you’ll have to chop it off. Good luck!

PS I’m surprised the salon doesn’t help you out with this, since they must have known how such drastic bleaching would affect your hair.

If the salon ruined it, the salon owes you as much of a fix as can be had. A licensed cosmetologist should be able to bleach without wrecking hair or know to advise you accurately on what is possible/feasible/reasonable/doable safe to try with your hair and prior processes.

Other than what repair they offer, condition, avoid further chemical processes, avoid heat styling and, yes, get the worst cut off.

But first, go back and require that they fix what should never have happened in the first place. Then go from there.

Yeah, when I had a bad dye job a couple months back, I just called the salon and said I wasn’t happy with the result. The stylist was able to fix it and didn’t charge me anything.

My first thought was to shave your ombré.
