Is this hair dying hurting my hair??

[ManeVixen]

Hey ladies I decided to try out a new stylist this past summer and I got a jet black short bob with shaved sides....she was killer with heat I had to tell her to stop blow drying my hair....so I stopped going....now my once shaved side burns are pass my ear....and the bob is growing out...but my hair is wavy my beloved curls are gone erplexed

Sooooo my question is besides the heat do you think the dye contributed to me losing my curl pattern? I love my hair being jet black and want to keep dying it I use

Wella demi permanent dye and I really like it but im not sure if its part of the problem. Does anyone use this?

Now my plan was to get a weave and grow my hair back but Im afraid that my leave out will still be straighter. I transition with a sew in and the front of my hair was straighter but I also didnt know about the importance of heat protectant and the best products for my hair.

Sorry so long
1. Is the Wella hair dye contributing to me loosing my curl pattern or is it just the heat?

2. Can I grow my hair back using a (straight) weave but making sure my leave matches the rest of my texture

Thanks!

I can answer most of your questions: That Color Charm is really gentle and since it's a demi, it's not damaging or texture altering. Did you use the proper activator? I used to use it; it was recommended by an Aveda student for at-home refreshing.

You can definitely grow back your hair with a straight sew-in. And yes, you can leave your hair out if it matches the weave hair. Just be sure to take care of your leave out hair. I wore weaves for 9 months only to have broken-off (leave-out) hair with healthy NG because I was so slack.

I'm not sure how to regain your curly pattern, though. Good luck!

I doubt it was the color that damaged your hair. More than likely it was the heat. And yep, you can grow out your hair with a sew-in.
