Hair dye damage

[ylinspired]

I'm new to the forum, so hello all! You ladies are truly amazing and I am soooo happy that I found this site!!! I'm trying to recover from damaged ends due to hair dye. Current regi- Pre-poo with coconut oil and evoo overnite, and co wash weekly with ORS hair mayonnaise, and motion CPR. Moisturize with carrot oil, and seal with jojoba, grape seed- cedarwood, thyme, rosemary, and lavender. I also do the GHE, and wig every other week. So far hair is doing better. Has anybody been through this kind of damage and if so what conditions/ products did you use to restore your hair?

Hi and welcome! Are you relaxed or natural? And how were your ends before you colored?

My bangs have been badly affected by the use of Bigen to dye my little patch of gray. I would like to know the answer to this question as well. So I'm all ears...well eyes...(reading comments)

I'm 4a/b texlaxed with Mizani Lye relaxer.
I used Bigen in Black.
The ends are newly trimmed, unsplit, but they are crimped like french fries.

It's with my bangs only - the only spot I use the Bigen dye.

By the way Bigen was the ONLY thing that worked to dye my 5 gray strands black.

I tried Jazzings (breakage), tried Clairol's Beautiful Collection - didn't change the color by not one shade! So I went back to Bigen. It's about that time to color the roots of my bangs again....I need suggestions.

I have used Reconstructor and a moisturizing conditioner absolutely EVERY time I dyed my hair. I still ended up with crunchy ends.

I've been natural for 5 years. Ends were great before I colored my hair. I have about 4 inches left that are damaged. I gradually clip them, but they also need to be treated.
