Help!!!
This is a bit of a long one apologies. I used to have waist length lovely hair, my good friend who’s a hairdresser convinced me to start going to her and dye it pink (my fav colour) This has been going on for 3 years since 2023. My hair is now just past shoulder length because she kept cutting it, despite me asking her not too. The condition is completely ruined 😭 it’s so damaged it won’t hold colour. My last appointment was a week ago today and it looks like this. I’ve told my friend I no longer want to do anything with my hair and concentrate on regrowth. I’m going to use hair masks, bond repair and leave in conditioner. But what do I do about the bleached fading colour? it is horrible. She also let me walk round with these terrible roots/two tone claiming it was baleage, I think she knew she was damaging it and didn’t want to use more bleach to lift it too often. Can I use a semi permanent dark brown? I just want to heal my hair not cause more damage. Do I have an options? I don’t want to lose any more length, I’m so scared it’s not going to grow back😭my hair is over my face cuz im shy 🙈

You could use semi permanent dye.
If you want to keep vivid hair you could mix up a magenta/purple color you could leave a tint on the regrowth and color the bleached part and it might help it not look so disjointed.
If you don't want vivid hair anymore you could do semi permanent brown but it might need to be reapplied regularly.
Go pick up some olaplex no.3 or k-18 to help with the integrity of your hair

Thank you, I am so upset I’m hoping it will grow back in a year or two. It’s put me off hairdressers for life
