I messed up... Help me ladies....

[hair-it-is]

Hello ladies I've been following you ladies for awhile now and my hair has really been doing great..... thats until february when i colored my hair. It was beautiful when I first did it and I still love the color. But my hair has taken a turn for the worst. Its extremelly thin. I use nexxus emergency and I really try to take care of my hair. But as of now I dont know what to do. Please help..

Do you use heat? If so cut down drastically on the heat! That's a biggie in my opinion.

Do you still color? Cut out the coloring until you step your game up

How often do you relax? Don't relax no more than every 8 weeks

How often do your moisturize and wash and deep condition? Deep condition ATLEAST once per week and moisturize ATLEAST once per day.

Ditto. Also try the Ultrasheen Duo Tex protein conditioner, I would do it weekly- alternating it with the nexxus emergency & aphogee always follow it with an intense moisturizing conditioner like Elasta DPR-11 after using a protein treatment. If you can stretch the relaxer for 12 weeks that would be even better IMO. Daily moisture and no heat like MizaniMami said!

Mizani have given you great tips.

Please deep condition with heat. Put down the curling irons and blow dryer. Moisturize and put your hair. Let it rest. I hope you get back on path soon.

Thanks for the advise ladies. I use conditioners weekly. And I do need to lay off the dryer. Lately I have not been blowing my hair ends. Basically I just need to know what treatments will help my breakage. I really though I could handle coloring my hair. It did so good until this last month. But thanks for the help and I will try the conditioners you all recommended.

Unfortunately, you may just have to gradually cut the color out to regain the health of your hair. My friend is going through the same thing as you and that is what she's doing.
