My hair is naturally light mousey brown (was strawberry blonde as a child with golden highlights) but I've had bleached highlights for the past eight years until last year when I got it cut in a pixie and started to get a full head of bleach. The last couple of times I've been for root touchups I've had some breakage along the partline. Although I went to an expensive salon, they overlapped and also put my hair under a heatlamp to process it *gun* .....I now have a little patch right at the crown of my hair which is like crew cut short ???
Because of how I wear it you can't see as it's covered up by longer hairs. It just feels fuzzy when I touch it, just like my dad's shaved head 😀 I don't have breakage or split ends down my hair, considering it's bleached it's in good condition because I use sulphate free and natural products, no cones, and pre poo with coconut oil whenever I wash it. What I want to know is, when this little broken patch starts to grow back, is it going to stick right up, am I going to be able to disguise it and am I going to have to stop bleaching it? Please don't tell me to dye my hair darker as it doesn't suit me at all! And when will the fuzzy feeling go away and the shorter hairs blend in a bit more?

Dying it darker is the worst thing you can do right now. Well, if you use a permanent dye, it's fine if you use a dye without peroxide. I'm not sure why you think we'd recommend that, it's the last thing I'd think of!
Without knowing your hair texture and how it falls on your crown (for example, mine sticks straight up at the crown, so I would have a problem) it's really hard to say if it'll show or not.
I would suggest at the very least going to a different hairdresser. I'd suggest doing it yourself in fact. There is NO way you need to go under a heat lamp EVER with mousy brown hair. I have very dark brown hair and I bleach it myself and never add heat (unless it's a super cold day, but I still only sit next to a radiator!) and I get to a pale yellow. I'm actually quite horrified when I hear about salons that process bleach under heat.

My hair is naturally fine and quite straight when it's short.
I have tried to bleach myself in the past but I find it really hard to do it all without missing any or overlapping! Do you have any tips?
About applying heat, I was really suprised when they did that too because the last time I had my hair done at the same place they didn't use any. I also noticed I had a couple of burns on my scalp 🙁

Overlapping isn't the end of the world, as long as you don't use a lot of heated straighteners and curling tongs etc. If you do, then you really do need to avoid it. Heat is best avoided all together when you have bleached hair, even when very short.
I just use a couple, or three if I have them to hand, mirrors to do the back. The front is generally easy. Or if you have a willing, thorough, friend that's the best bet!
