Hello All,
I am currently in the process of trying to grow out my abused and damaged hair. I previously was a bleach and tone girl (I know shock and horror) but I decided the damage and breakage that I was causing was just too much, so I decided to go for a deep red shade level 5/6(for reference I am a level 5/6 dark blond/brown). I have lots of breakage :( on my crown, and front and back hairline that I really baby, my longest length is 3" short or my bra strap. But here is my question I color my hair about every 6-8 weeks my roots and freshen my ends I get this done at an Aveda Salon, am I causing more and more damage to my ends and hair or because I am not lightening it or stripping the color is this OK? Can I actually achieve length even when coloring hair with "chemicals"? I am very wary to try Henna because I absolutely love my hair color. I baby my hair only washing once or twice a week, I use jojoba oil or NightBloomings Panacea Salve or Triple Moon Oil or some combination at least once a day, I don't blow dry or heat style, I use a boar bristle brush and or a smooth wide comb on wet hair, and I am cone free. And trying to find protein free products I believe I am protein sensitive. If yo have read this far THANK YOU! I have gained sooooo much great knowledge from this community. Any advice at all (truly) is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!
