Hope you guys don't mind an ex therapist on leave asking for help.
Last November I went from 6 inches of level 5 virgin hair and 9 inches of pre coloured level 5 hair to platinum and I was in love with it! Obviously the pre coloured hair wasnt in perfect condition after but it was by no means fried, a little dry but I expected that. I am greying very concentratedly at my temples so wanted to try being blonde to disguise them for a change. My trusted hair dresser moved away up north.
December I was recommended a mobile hair dresser to do my level 5 roots. All seemed fine after but I noticed the top parts were really sucking up purple shampoo after.
After she came again to do the next root touch up I noticed that she had overlapped the bleach at least 1.5" onto my already platinum roots. So now my hair has broken all around my hair line to an inch and a half, is half the thickness it was before and is coming out in ridiculous amounts every day. The hair that is left is gummy around the top of my head. If I could pull off a shaved head and a wig I would!
I'm so so devastated. All my life I've wanted to be blonde but never had the patience to grow out previous colours enough and finally I do and I got to enjoy it for all of a few months!
As a professional what would you advise I can do moving forward? Because I'm so grey at my temples I quite wanted to stay on the lighter side but I'm obviously aware this might not be possible now. Currently babying my hair with k-pak, olaplex, oils and conditioners, no heat, no styling etc but wanting to know what my options are.
Many thanks
