Well, basically I'm new to this site but was drawn here from another site. I have a short hair history, but most of the damage was done about 4 years ago.
In 2009 my hair was bleached by a prestigious salon white blonde without my consent, I thought they were simply doing highlights. My hair held it together though, even though it did cause some hair to fall out, I was extremely upset. :( I let that run the course, and in 2011,after I had it dyed to my natural brown color about 9 months earlier, I chopped it to my chin to get rid of the damaged ends from heat styling, the bleach, and the brown color dye i went through to get it to go back.
Now, in 2012, it's been almost a full year since that cut and any heat styling or coloring of any sort. It's currently at BSL length as LHC terminology describes it. ( I never thought my hair grew fast til I stopped all the unnatural bad hair habits) And my natural color is almost covering my whole head ( I realize that the last couple inches might still have fake color in them). My question to you is, since I'm sooo new and completely lost on this site sometimes about what I should really do to my hair, what is a good routine to get in the habit of? For almost all my life up until 7 years ago when I cut it short, my hair has always been hip length so I don't know if I should be doing anything special to it to help make sure it grows back out as healthy as I can. I have read a lot so far from this site too, but would like to see what other things I could do to it to help. :)
