Okay so I got an ombre about a month ago. It turned out good actually, but now I'm regretting it. I don't have as many options to do for more hair, and the ends are dry and rough.
I used bleach for my hair, and I know I either have to dye it back or cut it all off and I'm DEFINATLY not cutting my hair. I want to just get my hair dyed back by a professional, but it costs a buttloa of money, so I was thinking maybe is do it myself? I don't know what color I would use tho. Anybody have any suggestions? thank you xx.

Since it's dry and rough already you don't want to damage your hair n fry it even more 😮 I would cut it if I were you it's going to grow out soon better to cut it than to have your hair dry and rough ☺️

I'm not sure but I suggest getting some really good shampoo and conditioner though, because dying it back is going to damage it more.

If your ends are dry and rough, there's no saving them. The split ends are going to split further up the hair shaft over time, making your hair look dry, frizzy, and damaged all over. When you eventually get it cut, you are going to lose a lot more length. It may be a painful choice but your best bet is to just cut them off now.

It's 100% better to cut it. If you cut it your hair will grow faster and it will look so much better.

Definately go to a professional, may cost a bit more but I think hair is very important and you should take good care of it.

Cut it! I had the same problem and after I cut it my hair felt sooo much healthier. You can always get clip in extensions :p.

Don't dye it back. it'll just damage it more. I would say cut it off. I know it'll suck, but it won't kill you. or you could always wait a couple of months to have it grow out a little more, then cut it.

Even if you do dye over it, you'll still see a line where the bleach once was, because the colour will turn out slightly lighter! I had the exact same problem! I dyed mines a black colour so when it all cooled down it was overall a brown (ish) colour then I let it grow and grow, and got regular hair cuts until it was all completely out :)

If you get it professionally done it should be fine, but I wouldn't bleach it for sure.
