Both bleach and straightening with direct heat can permanently damage (straighten) your hair, so it could have been either one. And then one on top of the other? 
Other folks suggest that you might try lots of deep treatments with and without protein over the course of several weeks to see if that helps. Some people's hair never recovers and they eventually do a BC again. I hope it doesn't come to that for you.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I think when you bleach natural hair, it can be as just like putting a relaxer in it for some naturals. I hi-lited my hair about 4 years ago with blonde hi-lites and my hair in those sections were completely straight. My hair in those sections never reverted back, and I had to eventually cut my hair. I don't know if there's anything you can do, but I'm really sorry this happened to you

(sniffing) I dyed my hair black and I needed to get it out so I bleached it sat and it only took on half of my head. I went today and the lady told me in order to fix it to rebleach it. I did that tonight. She told me to leave it on for 30min I did then it turned orange and when I tried (sniff. sniff) to do the redish brown color over it to color the orange which is what she told be ot got really really orange. I went back and got a rinse to tone down my punkin head and that worked. I did a good aphogee protein. moisturizer and the aphogee oil.. Ut has curled back some so I am hoping to keep doing my treatments fo about two months and not dye again. I have a appointment with a stylist that works with natural hair. I am so hurt. I love my natural hair. I have the hand n fro diease. I will keep yall posted. (sniff) I am going to the mirror.........again.

I'm sorry to read this and hope it isn't permanent. Looks like some of your curl back though so maybe all isn't lost

Do a heavy protein treatment followed by a DC and some of your curls should come back. HTH!
I so understand what you're going through. I had a moment to temporary insanity and bleached my natural hair because I wanted a new look. My hair looked and felt like straw so I decided to put a semi-permanant conditioner on to soften my hair back up. I picked the wrong semi-permanent color and it actually turned my hair orange. I was so mad! I ran back to my stylist and I said, do whatever you have to do to get my hair back to black. Fortunately, she did a wonderful conditioning Joico treatment that in essence "stained" my hair to jet black. I should have been happy right? Well it turned out, my crazy behavior was because I was pregnant and had been the whole time. For the next nine months, I worried that I had fried my embryo, but he was fine.

Thanks guys td my hair is orange. I have to go to the salaon tuesday and let her work it out. I usually wash y hair every three days and do a good treatmet. the funny thing is that my edges are orange and I used a brown dye. You know I will be scarfing it up for a couple of days.
what is dcing? (Sorry so dumb) today is not as bad a last night. I realized I messed up and now here goes what I must do to fix it. Am I still freaking out yes. But I swear on my nappy honor this fraganacle bull aint happening to me no mo...........I aint gonna color nor am Igoing to be a product junkie.
I don't care if setting my hair on fire will grow it back 16 inches over night. nope I aint gonna do it (matches in my hand and lighter fluid on my scalp)
Yall are the best.

DCg is deep conditioning, not dumb
. I know how you feel about color now, when I did my hi-lites and had that disaster, I haven't touched any light-colored dyes. I have used darker dyes, but the lighter colored ones, I will not ever use again, too much damage!
