I'll try and keep this as short as possible.

My hair is very processed and dry, however there are no split ends -yet. It used to be a (bleached) light blonde, which was dyed blue.. I then got bored dyed it black and continued to do so for approx 10 months.

I got bored again and decided that i wanted to strip and bleach as much of the black out as possible, in order to dye it SFX cherry bomb. The stripper managed to get my hair to a mixture of brown/mousey/black - I then bleached that with a 30vol twice..it didnt make much difference, just bleached my regrowth and turned some of the black more red.

By now my hair was uneven and patchy, so i dyed over it all with a permanent purple dye (schwarzkopf - Live), which is how it is now.

I fear that because my hair is so processed, there is nothing more i can do, which isnt good as i hate my current hair.

Can anyone suggest anything to help me? I really appriciate anything, im desperate =(

THANKS!

    You can dye it with a veggie dye like Special Effects or Manic Panic.
    But it'd have to be a somewhat dark shade.
    Just avoid bleach and semi-permanents for awhile.
    Another thing to consider is not going from dark to light colours so drastically.
    I used to do that myself and it is hell on your hair.
    If you're the kind of person that gets bored of colours fast, use a dye that doesn't have much staying power.
    Then when you want to change it up you don't have to fry your hair so much.

    You could probably use SFX Blood Red. I think it would give you a slightly darker version of the color you want without further damaging your hair. Good luck!
