Natural hair tips for damaged hair

I shaved my head like 3 times due to the damage I have done to my hair from bleaching and dying and also to have a fresh start. However I became addicted to bleach and dye and started doing it again leaving my hair damaged again. How can I make it healthy again? I really want long hair now and I would hate to have to shave it again. Also my hair grows so slowly any tips to retain length? It probably breaking off from the dye and bleaching and definitely the tight hairstyles #embracenaturalhair #naturalhairadvice #hair not workin🙄 #helpwithmyhair

... Read moreDamage from frequent bleaching and dyeing can be detrimental to your hair’s health. To foster recovery, start by incorporating deep conditioning treatments into your routine. Look for products rich in moisturizing ingredients like shea butter, argan oil, or coconut oil. These can help replenish lost moisture and strengthen your hair's structure. Additionally, it's important to limit heat styling tools as they can further exacerbate damage. Consider adopting protective hairstyles that prevent tension on your scalp and minimize breakage. Styles like braids, buns, or twists can help protect your hair while also promoting its growth. Regular trims will help remove split ends, allowing your hair to grow healthier. Furthermore, maintaining a balanced diet with sufficient vitamins and minerals is crucial; ensure you're getting enough biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for hair strength and growth. Lastly, be patient with your hair journey; consistent care and attention will yield significant improvements over time.

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
