Having your hair trashed by mistake is fortunately not something which happens terribly often, but if it has happened to you that fact is somewhat less comforting as you watch your hair fall out in your brush or hands. If you have damaged hair and need it repaired desperately, or just wish to avoid having a perm or bleach job go psycho on your scalp, take a second and take some hints from someone who has been through hair hell and back.

Repairing Damaged Hair

Damaged hair can be devastating, most especially so if it is so damaged the strands don’t even feel like hair anymore! I had this happen when I was sixteen and in high school, and what was supposed to be a fun and different color style turned into a nightmare which lasted for months. It took thousands to fix, and I missed a week of school just from the open wounds that the two bleach jobs did to my head. Now, when I went in and asked a professional colorist to make me a platinum blonde (I was a brunette) I did not know that this was not possible. Apparently neither did my stylist, who did so much damage that when she was finally finished, my hair was so brittle it would snap, it was stiff. A color repair specialist was hired by my very generous mother, and even though he was one of the best in the business it took him three months to fix my hair to a workable state. I had open sores on my scalp for the better part of several weeks, and the long and the short of it is make sure you trust your color specialist implacably before doing any super light colors on your hair, these chemicals are very toxic and can make damaged hair a nightmare of epic proportions.

Avoiding the Catastrophe

Making sure this nightmare doesn’t befall you means knowing your salon, really well. This was a large well known and national chain salon, someone you would expect to know better overall. I am not really sure why this person decided to do what she did, but I would readily have accepted her opinion had she just told me the truth. If your hair has been trashed by someone like this, though maybe not as badly, you can find many hair care products online that help repair damaged hair.
