Damaged Hair! Should I Cut It Off?

A few years ago I got a Keratin treatment in my hair since it is really curly and frizzy. Last year I got the last treatment in January and then stopped since I no longer liked it. I grew out the roots and now they are nearly to my shoulders but my ends (and about halfway up my hair) is damaged and will not take ANY product (I have tried so much stuff). I'm sick of the damaged ends since all I can do with my hair now is straighten it or curl it with a wand. I'm going to my hair dresser on Wednessday. I'm thinking that I want all the damaged ends off, but I would have really short hair compared to what I am used to! Should I cut it or just get it trimmed and wait for it to grow out more?

Cut it off sweetie pie, you'll feel better about it and it will look ALOT better. You'd look cute with short hair too!!

Cut it off and it'll heal again. Just make sure you find some treatment that really will work for your hair all the time so it won't be damaged again. And don't forget hear protectant! (And if you want long hair again just get extensions! )That's what I did after getting dead end cut off.

I would ask you hair dresser what they think you should do to your hair before you just wack it off. Maybe a trim every so often

Yes cut it. You lost all your elasticity in your ends which is why they don't curl our color well. its better to have shorter hair than damaged broken hair.

Thank you much girls! And Beth I use a deep treatment mask on my hair once a week so my roots are pretty healthy for the most part. And I think I am going to cut it now!  Thanks!

I had the same problem, and a sulky recommended I would look good with a pixie. I did it and I was so scared! BUT it feels so much better, and believe it or not it's already growing quicker after just 3 weeks. You'll feel better and so will your hair, and you've got the face shape to pull off short hair (: good luck!

Get a few inches off and use a really good leave in conditioner at night

My hair is just like yours naturally curly but I had a lot of heart damage. I recently cut it all off. Now my hair is up to my shoulders but I'm using hot oil treatments, drinking a lot of water, and taking my biotin and vitamins daily to help my hair grow. Improvement.!! All your ends won't go back to normal. The only way is to chop it off. Good luck. (:

You need to cut it and condition it really good. You will look good with short hair!

Yes, cut it but not all, and keep getting trims, I also recommend you to try pro naturals moroccan argan oil hair treatment kit which is very good and will help you to repair and restore your hair.

For repair, use essential oil conditioning treatments like pro naturals moroccan argan oil hair mask once a week and get regular trims to prevent split or damaged ends.

Cut it off and take biotin to grow it out and put coconut oil for protection from damage and moisture.

Yesh!! Cut it but only a little. If your hair grows fast then cut it a little every month.

It looks nice like this. I'm going to try to curl it from above too. But I'm tired of my hair even though its really healthy. My hair is really straight. Everyone loves it except of me..
