Hi and welcome! You'll see as you browse around that a lot of the members like to oil their ends and wear protective hairstyles (me included) to help prevent breakage and/or mechanical damage. I gave up bleach a year ago and although I miss it, I could never reach the lengths I wanted while using it. Glad you found a good alternative!

Thanks for sharing the info. Actually, oiling till end is a great idea

Hello everyone!
I found this forum the other day while browsing for more ideas for buns.
After ten years of dyeing and bleaching my hair out of boxes, (and then getting fed up with the upkeep and dyeing it back to black,) I've managed to resist bleaching it for a year and swapped to oil based dye.
Turns out waist length isn't terminal for me!
It's juuuuust reached BCL, and I wondered what the best thing to do is to keep it a bit protected so that it can grow longer?
The front third or so is at APL because for some unknown reason I cut it into an above the jaw bob in 2018 while leaving the back long
I'm looking forward to learning new styles!

Hello and welcome what kind of oil based dye do you use and does it come in blue black xD

Directions semi permanent, and yes it does! The bluer shades are really lasting though

Howdy! From what you've written I take it you already have enough length to do some buns. Those definitely help keep your hair safe and out of your road. I find that a single English braid is a versatile style because you can bun it up or take it down over the course of a few days depending on what you're doing and how you'd like your hair to be.
