So, I decided I wanted pastel pink hair. Now I kind of sit here asking myself if this is worth it, almost in tears cause of the condition of my hair.
I bleached my hair once, and worked super hard in the span of a month to bring it back to life. My hair was sooo good in that month because of all the care I put into it. Then after a month, I bleached again. I did a bleach bath with coconut oil method. Even though it wasn't a pale blonde, I grew impatient and put some pink dye in it. It didn't hold and instead my hair turned into a marigold/strawberry blonde with pink streaks. I asked for help on here and someone said to try the baking soda method to get rid of the dye.
So I did and left it on for two hours even though they mentioned I should leave it on for one. I think that was my second mistake. It did get rid of the faded pink which I was so happy and grateful for. I was so afraid it wouldn't work.
Now my hair feels like straw and has felt like this for two days. I did a condition treatment already and let some coconut oil sit in my hair for hours. I have a leave-in conditioner that helps repair hair so I leave that in sometimes as well. I let my hair air dry. I don't do anything to it.
but my hair feels worse than when I bleached it a second time! It gets really tangled. It feels like straw when dry, really brittle. My hair stretches, some ends just feel flat out dead. In the shower it feels part gummy. I'm considering going in for a trim, I'm just afraid they'll cut off too much. I'm trying to grow out my hair. I have to bleach one more time. I don't know whether I should bleach (not now, but way later) first or go for trim first?
Also, what do I do!! My hair has literally never felt this bad before. It's kind of scary and disheartening. Kind of makes me want to say screw pink, shave my head! Haha
