I want to brighten a little bit, but so so slow in order not to hurt my hair

Maybe i'll use the shampoo decolorate method (adding olaplex), is it a good idea???

Gorgeous and shiny hair !

I love your color, helluin! Your hair is beautiful! Sorry I can't help with your question. There are several other threads where people are talking about dyes. You might find helpful advice there. Good luck!

Beautiful shiny hair, helluin!!

I know nothing about brightening hair, other than what the sun can do, but I wish you luck!

Oh wow, Estrid you have such enviable hair, I love the texture and your photos are always so good!
helluin I love how shiny yours looks, I have no idea about your colour question either, but I empathise with the struggle of having fine hair that is easily damaged!

I know I'm a bit late, but congratulation to all of you who reached TBL

I have the sensation I'll be here for a looong time. I'm around 37,5 inches/95.4 cm. By the end of the no-trimm challenge of the first half the year, I'll be at TBL again (I grow 1 cm a month and TBL on me is 39 inches/99 cm) but I'm not sure about my hairgrowth journey. When I cut more than 2.5 inches a month ago, I thought I would have regret it but it feels like it gave me more courage actually. I've seen I'm starting to bee very uspet about the bleach damage. I don't think my hair is overall ugly because of that, but after 2 years I'm getting impatient.I don't even exclude to cut it all to around APL one day, when my virgin hair will be there (now the shorter pieces reaches my shoulders more or less). So, after the no-trimm challenge my plan is to cut again a consistent amount of hair, maybe also a little bit more and to see how I feel about that. It's not that I want short hair, I don't want to have my hair this damaged anymore. To bee clear, the healthiest section of my hair has, for the first 1.5 inches, just regular dye. Then, to around BSL it has 3 bleaches on black dyed hair, and some dyes to tone the result on top of that. I'm also lucky for my hair to be soo strong. And again, I'm speaking about the last damaged section lol the difference with my virgin hair is unbelivable.

This is a tough length, Bri-Chan. I am finding that I need to be more careful about my ends than I ever have been before because everything I do around the house (when my hair is down drying or resting, or if even my braid is loose sometimes) catches my ends. I don’t have bleach or any dye and I’m finding I need to really be more mindful of where my ends are at!

Sitting on your hair sounds glamorous but it’s more freaky than anything else. Not a good feeling to be caught and not know how to move next to get free!

I go back and forth between feeling like I need to be very cautious about my ends to prevent breakage and wanting to enjoy my hair down more often because as it gets longer I probably won't have that option. I just recently discovered the natural texture waves and wurls and am having fun with that! If I ever get past classic I won't be able to wear it down very much.
Bri-chan, I completely understand feeling impatient when your goals are in sight but you haven't quite reached them. It sounds like you have a good plan that will help you not make impulsive decisions you may regret. The important thing is that you are happy!
