My daughter bleached her long dark brown hair a few days ago and it's now breaking and molting all over the house don't think it would take anymore chemicals so whats the best remedy thanks in advance for any tips x

Hair oil? Morrocan oil? Have just bought some myself so will let you know if it's as good as they say it is!

Henna?

Eek. If its that bad and breaking off bŷ the handful only a cut will suffice. No one wants to hear that but it doesn't sound hopeful for her Jen.

Oh god its not good @ all. Tumble weeds of hair everywhere. I fear it too late x

My hairdresser explained that you can't repair bleached hair - you can re-dye it, but the hair itself has been altered. The hair has to grow out. I bleached my hair nine months ago and she's right - it doesn't take colour the same as it used to and it's more brittle.
Perhaps take your daughter to a hair dresser to assess the damage? The worst case scenario might be a good trim.

You need a protien treatment like joico k pak reconstructor or aphogee 2 step followed but a good moisturising conditioner (i recommend dark and lovely ultra cholesterol). If she heat styles her hair she should stop or at least cut down on use. Oiling with a little bit of coconut oil on damp hair after washing will also help.

Agreed, the K pak is good but the Aphogee http://www.amazon.co.uk/APHOGEE-STEP...550&sr=8-7will stop the breakage instantly - it is an incredibly strong protein treatment. Wash the hair then apply the treatment; it smells awful but it's worth going through that pain to try and save the hair. Once applied she'll need to sit under a hood dryer or blast a hair dryer all around her head, the treatment will dry and the hair will become hard. Rinse the hair out after about 30 minutes and rinse rinse rinse until all of that treatment is out. Once done she will need to use a very good moisturising treatment (and it needs to be a good one, Aussie etc isn't going to help here) to counteract the harshness of that protein, leave it on for an hour or for as long as possible.

Once she does this then you can assess whether she needs a cut, it sounds like she will need to take some of the ends off though because once they are damaged you won't be able to repair them.

She should do a deep moisture treatment twice a week until her hair problem resolves. The problem with bleaching is it makes the hair really dry so she needs to use a deep conditioner regularly to ensure the hair stays moisturised because if her hair is too dry it will simply break off.
