    How do I grow my hair back?
    My hair was really damaged from dye and bleach.It started to get really nasty and just break off.I got so upset that I cut it off today by myself and I cut it too short now I really hate it and regret it!What can I do to help my hair grow back?

    Keep up the trims to keep away split ends. Don't dye or perm it for a while. Be patient.

    Only time will make hair grow. There has been no proven hair growth miracles...

    Or you could get a better cut and style to make you feel more comfortable with the short cut.

    That's the thing my hair is very thin and my hairline is not very pretty so I really can not do much with my hair any ideas?

    Just be patient and let it grow... if the issue with the hairline, you can wear a one of those wide cloth headbands to cover that until it grows out...

    Or a wig...

    Or extensions.

    Do you know the price of extensions?I never bought them so I wouldn't know.

    The prices varies with color, length, amount, and place they are purchased. Go to a few salons in your area and compare prices.

    What is your hair condition now?

    Shave it completely off for charity then wear a cute hat. Anyone mocking you will be mocking your generous nature and will look bad themselves. Not ideal by any means, but perhaps a good diversion while your hair grows out. It will only take about a week for everyone to get used to your look anyway.

    Okay, Gabby! I understand your dilemma, but kindly tell me if you have ever got your hair short earlier, I mean have you been getting trims or bobs or cuttings even, REGULARLY, or not? Moreover, I presume that it is a little difficult when you have cut it only once...

    Pl reply!!

    No I get my hair cut every three months but I usually have long layers and long bangs where I know what to do with it but I have not had my hair this short in years anh I hate it!So to answer your question yes I get cuts regularly... and no its not always the same cut but I get in styled long not short!

    The only thing that you can do is learn to work with what you've got.

    Hey,

    I know EXACTLY how you feel right now. I have very curly hair and used to blow dry it/ flat iron it like no other. In January I had gotten some nice very blonde highlights in my very dark brown hair and then my hair just started breaking off. It went from being a little past my shoulders to having a few straggley ends there with everything else shorter. I went and saw a hairstylest who cut of the ends BUT listened to me and didn't cut it shorter than I wanted. BUT I wanted a miracle right away because I had been trying to grow my hair out for so long. I went out and bought hair pills chock full of vitamins, got awesome conditioners (Redken Butter Treatment and Extreme are awesome, but ONLY use them once a week or your hair will be more damaged due to all the protein). I also stopped blow drying/flat ironing it except on special occasions. It took a LONG time, but my hair is now healthy again. It really does just take time. I looked into extensions, but was a little too embarrassed to get them and wanted to solve my hair problem on my own. I wish the best of luck to you, but believe me, I know how you feel. This sort of thing happens to girls everywhere.
