: About a month ago my colorist destroyed my hair by applying a
: chemical dye twice in a row. My hair is horribly damaged from root
: to tip. I cannot wash or brush it properly because it is fried and
: breaking off. It is the worst hair damage I have ever seen, it is
: amazing I have any hair on my head. If I were to cut off all the
: damage I would have a crew cut...
:
: NOW my question:
:
: In about a month and a half I am going to have my hair cut. Some
: damage will be removed but much will remain. Since I will NEVER use
: chemical dyes on my hair again, I wish to use a brown dye over my
: red dyed hair to blend it with the roots as my naturally brown hair
: grows in..
:
: -Is it safe to used henna on hair that was chemically dyed 2 months
: before?
:
: -Is it safe to use henna on SEVERELY damaged hair?
:
: Thanks so much, I am brand new to this and have a lot to learn!

Thanks for the tip about Morocco products. As to your hair, I'm glad
you got some compensation, but what on earth did they use on you, you
poor creature?? - it sounds like Drano! What's your hair like
underneath? If it isn't too bad, would more layering be any help?
When you mention breakage, do you mean it's coming off at the scalp,
splitting about an inch from the ends, or something else? I had to
chop mine to eartip length last winter and still the fringe and top
layers, though growing out, are dry. The only other option was to
leave a foot of dead rats' tails; and I hadn't the sense not to carry
on with the chemical dye even then, so I can't wait to shift it all
out of my system! Without this site, I might well have mowed it all
down again and simply started over. Definitely, hairball tests are in
order! I really hope it all has a happy ending for you.
