Help!
about 3 weeks ago I colored my hair with a permanant dye made by revlon. This saturday I put in a regular relaxer (optimum care) and let it sit for 20 mins (i know, how STUPID).
After i washed the relaxer out and put in the conditioner, i noticed alot of hair coming out in the comb. My mom thought it was dead hair but it was coming out together not stringy. It ended up being a fist full or hair.
The hair was extreamly brittle and was completely streatching until it broke apart so we washed out the conditioner and opted to skip the styling we had planned and just blow dried it out.
Luckily, i still have my hair. The shedding and breakage isnt visible but it is dry and hard and brittle. I had to oil it (which i never had to do before) and i'm scared to style it.
Is there anything I can do to save my hair? Or is it damaged. I'd hate to have to cut my hair.
(sorry no pics, please don't ask)
