You definitely have a big transition to go through! First thing, I would recommend getting your hair color restored to your natural color so that it will be less apparent as you grow out the colored portion. It's actually good that you have a decent amount of new growth to get a more accurate match of the color. Even if it is off a little as it grows out, it won't be jarringly different, and you can add highlights or lowlights to adjust the color so you won't need to commit to all-over color again. More than likely, you would benefit from getting a few inches of damage removed from the ends. However, if that's not a choice you want to make right now, your best bet is to make regular trims every 4-6 weeks a priority until you see a positive change. You can also work to properly condition your hair. That means you need to use the right conditioner at the right times for the job. I won't go into my entire lecture on the various types of conditioners, but the two you need the most are strengthening and moisturizing. Strengthening conditioners are good for once a week treatments and no, more is Not better- more is bad in this case. Most strengthening conditioners will be nearly liquid in consistency so wash and moisturize (more on that in a sec,) wrap your hair in a towel and squeeze as much water out as you can. Do Not rub the towel on your hair (for this process as well as everyday- fragile hair cannot take the stress of towel-rubbing). Also, do not actually use this type of conditioner on dry hair; it must have some dampness to work. Possible choices: 1. http://www.amazon.com/Total-Results-Solutionist-Restructurizing-Treatment/dp/B0056AICJA (Can be supplemented with the daily leave-in I've linked below for better looking hair in the meantime, but I've found this to work better with at least a light finish with a blow dryer or curling iron : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NMKBDE2/ref=pd_aw_sbs_194_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0DC9RHJXCNH8MHBESR8W.) 2. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000XQWHMU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1445228864&sr=8-3&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=fekkai+conditioner+protein&dpPl=1&dpID=31Mv2%2B8G-TL&ref=plSrch I've got to say #2 may be my highest recommendation for your hair without actually seeing it in person. There is also a daily shampoo and container to use with the weekly. Which brings me to the second type of conditioner you need - moisturizer. Severely damaged hair does not have the ability to hold onto moisture so you have to replace it daily! It's like the moisture has no inner strength to hold onto, so it just evaporates away. Moisture is what will give your hair some bend and bounce and shine. Some moisture-type conditioners can actually penetrate skin so you can feel for that when you are shopping for that product. KMS as a brand generally has good moisturizing conditioners. One example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008K81508/ref=pd_aw_sim_194_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=01W26GKBER4Z65ZRNF08 I've exclusively used Amazon because there are multitudes of places to purchase from but they also have some reviews for you to check. I hope this helps and if you need additional advice on this or on the coloring process to go back to your natural color, I'd be glad to help. Good luck!
