Hair is just...euurrgghh!

So I dyed my hair last weekend, and thanks to the two shampoos I had to end up doing it became sooooo dry and blahh. It wouldnt curl much and I have been wearing it up. Two DTs later and its still not right. Now its all stringy and the curls are no longer as clumpy as they used to be with the canopy being all tangly and knotty and frizzy. Help.. what did I do to my hair!!! I want my pretty curls back!!!

Try clarifying - there might be a silicone build up??? That's what causes my wurls to disappear. Don't know anything about dye so I can't help there.

As far as I could read, there were no silicones in the dye. It was speacial effects pimpin purple hair dye.

Hmmmm - can you try an SMT and baby it for a while with oils etc?

It will get right again once you've done a couple of more deep treatments. I second the SMT, but remember to heat the honey in the microwave so that it doesn't lighten the colour from your hair.

I wouldn't clarify just yet, as it sounds as though you already have shampooed it enough. Also, it would just strip the colour a bit.

Sometimes it takes a while to get your hair normalized. A week is not usually long enough. It will be okay soon, and then you'll be back to your normal routine. :blossom:

It took about a week for the stiffness of the Punky dye I did for Easter to have been washed/rinsed away enough to allow my curls to form again.

Did you bleach before putting the dye in?


If not, I can't see any reason why your hair wouldn't curl, except it might be too moisturized? Clarifying would work though.

If you bleached, it might just be damage.

Have you deep conditioned it since you dyed it? I always DC after dying just in case it dries my hair out.

Btw, I love the thought of purple waist length curls!
