People with fairly long (shoulder or more) healthy hair what is your secret?

I dye regularly because I have some grey hair and because I like different colors because I get bored.. my hair was ok but I bleached it last year to make it pink.. seems like it burned down my hair and even though I kept getting haircuts i keep it short it is still not growing well :( I take my vitamins and I use keratin and masks and coconut oil and everything.. I feel like shaving all of it just to make it all grow again :(

I think really long hair is mostly up to what you're born with.

But there are basic things you can do that will help : Healthy diet, enough rest, and the right care routine with the right products.

What works for me is not over-washing, avoiding harsh chemicals, and using a water filter to make sure the water I use has the right PH balance.

And most important + I stay the hell away from stylists and salons. 😎

bleach as less as possible. Also don't wash your hair everyday with shampoo and conditioner

give it time. Your hair will go back to normal soon enough

@PlumBerries fingers crossed 🤞 does it take more than a year?

i don't think it would take that long lol.. If you are concerned about it, go to a hairdresser and get their opinion on it. Them seeing it in person might be able to help a lot more

maybe there is some damage at the roots...idk you could get hair extensions if you think that would make you feel better.

Can damage happen at roots? 😱@Cutiepi23

@estranged tbh yes if bleached too much. It also dries the hair causing breakage.

I stopped using shampoo a few years ago and just wash with water and my hair has never been healthier.

My hair is healthier when I have fewer chemicals in it. I'm considering letting it go white.
