My hair is breaking off, should I cut it?

I bleach my hair (no I won't stop) and I have been for 8 years, bleaching it hasn't damaged it much because I'm lucky, but I did a risky move and I dyed it brown, then bleached it back. Yeah I know big mistake, but now I know to never do it again. Well, as soon as I bleached it back to my platinum blonde color, ALL of my hair became weak and brittle. Duh. I've been taking care of my hair for 6 months and it's grown out a lot, but the damaged part is of course still damaged. I've been resisting cutting it because I HATE myself with short hair, but now I'm getting so fed up with taking special care of the damaged ends I'm thinking about cutting it. My husband is begging me not to, because last time I cut my hair I became really moody and depressed. So, should I cut my dead ends off (even though I don't know if I can even cut them all off at this point) and become depressed, or should I just keep it damaged and wait till it's longer so I won't be as sad when I cut it...

I would go and get my ends trimmed regularly ...then I would do some at home deep conditioning. You can go to Sally's Beauty Supply and get a good "deep" conditioner you can either get it in packs or a jar of it ...i would recommend getting a jar ..and its not really expensive and get a pack of processing caps. Then I would wash my hair then apply a generous amount of conditioner and then put on a processing cap then take a thin damp towel and microwave it for 35-45 seconds and wrap it around your hair. I would leave this on for an hour or longer if you want just remember to keep reheating the towel. Then when you are done rinse really well and at the end of the rinse turn the water to cold and rinse really quick in just cold water. I would do this two or three times a week if time will allow it . Drink lots of water and try to eat healthy and remember to get your hair trimmed and try and let your hair air dry whenever you can and your hair will start to get healthy again. And when your ready you can still use your flat iron and things just remember to do a deep conditioning at least once a week even once your hair gets healthy.....

Hope this was helpful ~~

Good Luck ~~

You can good a good deep conditioning treatment or jar at Sally's and it isn't expensive and make sure you ask the clerk there that it is a color safe product, i feel certain it will be but you never know. I try alot of the home remedies and most of them work.....just be careful if you try them because a few of them did lightened my color ... :(

trim it a bit; usually the ends are the worse.

then wait until it grows out more, and cut it so the length is alright with you.

Yes cut it, it sounds to me it's dry and brittle.

A hair cut will help. Also ask the Hair Stylist to condition it for you too. =)
