Bleaching my hair 4 times!

2/28 Edited to

... Read moreBleaching hair multiple times in a short span is definitely a bold move that comes with its own set of challenges, as I experienced firsthand during my recent hair transformation. Doing it four times in two weeks was risky and not recommended by any beautician, but it taught me a lot about hair care and recovery. After the repeated bleaching sessions, my hair became noticeably damaged and fragile. I realized the importance of using strengthening treatments before and after bleaching to help restore some moisture and resilience. I applied these treatments at home, which helped me maintain hair integrity to some extent. One important lesson I learned is that listening to professional advice is crucial. Although I initially took matters into my own hands by bleaching at home, I eventually sought help from my trusted beautician, Calandra Walker at D'Vine Connections Hair Salon in Kansas City, Missouri. She not only helped repair the damage but also guided me back to a healthier hair routine. Transitioning back to black from blonde hair was emotionally and physically refreshing. It felt like healing my hair and myself after a very experimental phase. Hair transformations can be fun, but they require caution, patience, and good professional support to avoid long-term damage. For anyone thinking about drastic hair color changes, especially frequent bleaching, I would recommend consulting a professional first. If you’re adventurous like me and decide to try at home, make sure to use restorative products and avoid making impulsive decisions late at night! Trusting your beautician is key—they can help turn your hair dilemmas into beautiful solutions.

A person's back shows long, light-colored damaged hair, with an inset close-up revealing severe thinning and breakage on the scalp. The image highlights the impact of 6 years of bleaching, hair extension damage, and diabetic hair thinning and loss.
This image explains how avoiding heat helps hair recovery. High temperatures alter hair's protein structure, convert α-keratin to β-keratin, weaken hair, open cuticles, and strip natural moisture and oils, leading to dryness and damage.
The image illustrates the benefits of using a shower filter for hair health. It removes contaminants like chlorine, lead, and heavy metals that can damage hair, making it rough and dry, and supports a healthy scalp for growth and shine.
How I saved my damaged hair
I absolutely destroyed my hair. I used to bleach my hair every 8 weeks for about 6 years and being a type 1 diabetic (I was newly diagnosed and had uncontrolled blood sugar in the beginning) led to my hair having constant breakage, thinning, never growing, and feeling like straw. I thought the cau
