I need mega advice please. I have very dark and wavy hair, its not coily but has a lot of bounce, is veeeeeeeery thick and I have so much hair.
For the last few years, once a year I've been getting my hair bleached in salons and putting pastel pink in. There has been many issues. My hair melted off 2 years ago as I was left with bleach on for over an hour and was forgotten about.. or so I thought.
I got my hair bleached on Thursday, I hadn't had any bleach in it for a year, and we did my virgin root first, didnt touch anywhere that had had bleach previously. I use salon products for washing and styling. There was bleach on my hair for 15 minutes, and it was so hot that to touch my head I scalded my fingers. I made my friend (who is a hairdresser), wash it out, and handfuls of my hair came out from the root. Only a quarter of my hair even had bleach on it.
My friend is just baffled, she can't understand what happened. She put a 30 vol in and i was wondering if maybe because I have so much hair it like created a heat lock or something and just massively increased the heat? I didnt have these issues when I had hair that was 2 inches long, I bleached that at home with no problems.
Any advice would help. I desperately want to be pink. I had to dye my hair brown to cover the skunky look i had, is it impossible with my hair type? Or has anyone encountered this before and how do you get around it? Thanks
