Was wondering if anyone could help me:
I’m a natural dark blonde and I’ve been having platinum blonde highlights for years. I’ve always looked after my hair so even with bleach and heat styling, it’s always in really good condition.
Back in January I visited a different salon which is more high end for the area I live in. There were a number of problems with my visit which has ultimately lead to my hair being damaged and I no longer know what to do.
Firstly, the highlights were initially orange at the root, which had never happened to me before (I ended up needing two visits after the initial appointment to rectify). I think the stylist just re-did the entire section (as opposed to the root perhaps) on both occasions that I returned, which has left me with a lot of breakage around my face and sections of my hair which are literally still purple from the toner.
The cut was also a problem: she seemed to rush it (this was at the initial visit) and as a result is much shorter than I asked for. Even with the damage to the ends, I’m scared to have much cut off because it’s so much shorter than I’d like.
I don’t know if there’s anything I can do to try and revive my ends at the moment? I’m using hair masks regularly, as well as leave in conditioners and oil after any styling (I only use heat after I’ve washed it which is 3 times a week). I definitely need a trip to the salon when they’re back open, but I really don’t want to lose a significant amount of length. I should also note that I’m a student, so I can’t afford any elaborate service/products.
Hope someone can help!
