Picture Purged
My hair is totally fried, you could say I got what I deserved. My hair didn't deserve it though. I really feel remorse for what I've done. Can anybody help? I would really appreciate any kind words of advice. I really almost cried looking at myself in the mirror to tell you guys the truth. I really feel awful. Thanks for any help. ~Peace~ Blonde
Don't feel bad man. Your hair doesn't look bad it looks a little bit shorter though. I don't know what kind of leave ins I can tell you about. You look like you were about to cry in the pic. Just don't worry about it ok. Your hair still looks realy awesome. :)

Thanks for the advice guys, yeah I know it's not one of my best pictures, lol.
Your hair looks a bit -frizzy- in that picture, so maybe that Pantene Smooth & Sleek stuff? It's pricey, but I use it, and it works wonders. :)
I am sure you do not want to hear this, but you should think about getting it cut. You are really a good-looking kid, but your hair may be beyond hope. Don't worry, it will grow back before you know it!
I really don't think I want to do that, lol. I'm going to try my best to save it, I believe it can be saved. My hair has been way worse than this before and has survived without getting a haircut.
I agree, you should NOT get it cut. Though I will admit, your hair looks like a straight version of mine every morning lol!
I use Aussie 3 Minute Miracle once a week, and I use their "Moist" conditioner like gel if I'm going to be at a formal event.
Hope it all works out.

Hi you have probley heard this before but aussie 3 minit myriacl stuff works well with me . but i leave it in for about 5 mins
it does the trick for me !!
Get Aussie 3 minute miracle, right away, and leave it on for AT LEAST 30 minutes before washing out. Do this for a month, or 4 weeks, and fingers crossed, your hair should be normal again.
Best of luck!
P.S, What did you do to it!!? I thought you only straightened it with a straightener?!
I'm guessing he bleached it to hell.
Um, know? I didn't bleach it all kay? I used straightening/relaxer. I think my hair will be normal once I wash it again.
Looks like the relaxer was too much for your hair, which you had said was already chemically treated (I assumed lightened). :-( Unfortunately, a chemical like that has the potential to do more permanent damage than heat from a straightening iron. But certainly try extreme conditioning and hope for the best. It's possible that if you go to a salon they may be able to give you a better conditioning treatment than you can do at home. Good luck!
Thanks Doug, I can only hope for the best.
When you said Straightening your hair in your original message we all thought you meant with a ceramic straightening iron. But you meant a chemical relaxer didn't you?
Christ! That's a big "No No" with bleached hair. Sorry man we totally misunderstood what you were asking, I'd have screamed blue murder if I'd realised.
There's one way back from this: "Condition Condition Condition"
I agree with Sorted! I alos thought you were only using a ceraminc straightener, when you said you were going to straighten your hair. But to chemically relax it!! That's just nuts if you've got bleached hair!!!!
I really hope you didn't have it done cheeply, Bebo paid something like $300 I think, and his results look very good.
You should really really really condition your hair man, forget about shampoo for a few weeks at least.
A straightening iron would in no way cause that amount of damage, especially after only one use. Did you use it on wet hair or something? Have you tried washing your hair and regularly conditioning since to see if it returned to its normal state?
Here's what you should do.
Stop bleaching your hair. Let it grow out on it's own and do it's own thing. Every 3 months, get an inch or so trimmed off. In a year or so, you will have the same length of your natural color with which you can grow longer and healthier.
So, was the damage caused by a ceramic straightener or chemicals...you say it was "fried"...I am assuming that means too much heat...can you tell us what you did...in detail?
