I too have a lot of it. When I started dying it black, it got better, but it's been super soft since I started drinking a ton of water. I use herbal essences conditioners, and from what you've said, I'd gather I have 3/4 as much hair as you so I hope that helps. Sorry about the disaster, I know that pain.

After a few years of doing crush ring extensions I went back to dyed streaks but only bleaching the regrowth. It took about three or four years for them to 'grow in' to the full length but they are healthy. Might be an option if you're up for that sort of commitment :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181287761921465633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-55937613410868866432016-11-22T00:51:39.235-07:002016-11-22T00:51:39.235-07:00Thank you.

The main problem would be finding them in a sufficient length (over-the-butt long).

The way I combat that and kind of nurse my hair back to health, is using a hydrating conditioner and then a keratin leave in conditioner that I wash half out. Some people use Moroccan oil or argon oils. *hugs* crimsonlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09586441423386494027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-16492468315179434892016-11-21T07:12:09.235-07:002016-11-21T07:12:09.235-07:00Oh jeez. that sucks.

I am so sorry you had such a difficult time with your hair. Although you did cut off the fried ends, if you want to add a little bit of moisture for your hair (just in case) I suggest Morrocan oil. You have really nice hair either waySylviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15046068654128830933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-14231827058436739762016-11-21T01:54:04.723-07:002016-11-21T01:54:04.723-07:00Wigs don't work well for me.
