Okay ladies..I need some serious help. Last January I got a lovely "chemical cut". I have red hair-very vibrant red hair with blonde streaks in it, that I was stripping to go to a strawberry blonde. The girl who did it, went to cosmetology school with me, and I thought she wouldn't be dumb enough to put bleach on bleach and anything over a 20 volume, welp... she did. She put a 30 or 40 volume on my whole head, stuck me under a dryer- I should have known better but she assured me it would be fine, and needless to say my long thick shiny hair turned into spagetti. I couldn't even get it wet for over a week. It was horrible. Clumps coming out, it was breaking off to about 3 inches from my scalp- my hair was probably 16-18inches long before this and now it hardley reaches my shoulders!!! I had to cut bangs and basically short layers all over. I tried to salvage the length as much as possible, but it just keeps getting shorter and shorter!! I haven't gotten a hair cut since september, but it keeps snapping off in the back, I have the lovely mullet thing going on. I couldn't take it anymore. Instead of my hair growing more over 8 months it just seems to get shorter and shorter and shorter. Needless to say I bought tape hair extentions, (really I bought weaving hair and hair wefting tape and made my own tape extentions with the help of a site I found called lovehairweftingtape.com) I have had them in for about 6 weeks and I could feel the glue on the tape exposing and they were catching other hairs so I took them out last night. And boy was I in for a horrible surprise! The hair in the back and underneath seems shorter again!! The hair that is on top of my head is finally healthy because I cut so much of it off, but the back just keeps snapping and breaking! I would love to reinstall the wefts- but now I am wondering if I am doing more harm than good? Should I not put in the hair? I am worried I am doing irreversable damage! It has almost been a year and my hair keeps getting shorter and shorter! I am so upset, I was always the one with beautiful think long hair and now it is a mess, a mullet and just won't stop breaking! I would love some input or other stories from people that have successfully worn these extentions and grown out their damage. I don't want to walk around with my hair in a clip all the time, I want to wear these extentions, but I do not want to keep losing any progress. PLEASE HELP!!!
