About last year, I have dyed my hair black, and did easy straight (a chemical that straightens hair) over it. But now I want to dye my hair brown. So I went to a hair dresser to bleach my hair, and once its blonde, dye it brown. So I went, and they told me that because I had done 'easy straight' my hair was too dry that if they bleached it, my hair would melt... so what do I do in that case? Please answer me!! Thanks a whole bunch.

Sweetie, the hairstylist is right. If your hair is chemically relaxed or in bad condition, it's not safe to bleach it because it can severely damage your hair. You should wait a few months before dyeing your hair. In the mean time, use a deep conditioning treatment at least twice a week. Conditioners will smooth the damaged outer surface of the hair by coating the hair and restore moisture that chemical processing strips off.

I died my hair constantly black, and desided one day I wanted to go bright blonde, so my hairdresser stripped my hair and it WENT ORANGE? And she was suppose to dye over the striped colour a brown, and then gradually have highlights, it would take 6 months I was willing to that so, when she left it orange I went back in two weeks hoping it would change, she died over the orange hair with blonde higglights which made no differece at all, so I died it back black, recently I had my hair bleached again! This time by someone I trusted! And she done amazing I had light brown hair and was very pleased until I came back from holiday, my hair went ginger which obviously would happen because of the chlorine and sun, so I desided to save myself money just coming back from holidays, and I bought a dark brown colour, WHICH TURNED OUT BLACK! I was so annoyed, I had to bleach it again, and I put it a medium brown on it, which made it a dark brown/black, and I am now currently sitting on my sofa with fairy liquid in my hair! I've bleached my hair 3 times, and my hair is not as damaged as I thought it would be, its actually okay
