Invest in a sulfate and sodium chloride free shampoo and conditioner (I like the L'oreal EverStrong, as well as Pureology, because my hair is constantly died and Pureology is great for maintaining that. Occasionally, I use the Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Shampoo, which is neither sulfate free nor for dyed hair, but it makes my hair feel SO clean, and that's not the worst thing once in a while), and a hair mask or deep conditioner (I like Macadamia Deep Repair Masque and the L'oreal Power Moisture Mask). In the shower, wash your hair first thing, shampoo only the roots and condition from your ears down. After that, apply your mask, focusing on the ends of your hair. Finger comb until you don't feel any knots, and then put your hair in a bun. Leave it that way for the rest of your shower, washing it out should be the last thing you do. I wash my hair around 3 times a week (with dry hair I can get away with it) and do the hair mask every time. If you need to wash your hair more than that, reduce your hair mask usage to 3 times :) make sure you're finger combing your hair in the shower so that you don't have to brush it, because brushing it can break it off like heck.

Third, in terms of heat protectors, I like the Tressemme and It's a 10 Leave in Plus Keratin. However, I advise you to cut out heat styling as much as possible (It's not the worst thing as long as you take care of your hair, so if you can't I wouldn't worry).

That's my hair routine, my entire head is bleached and it is just as healthy as it was before I dyed it.

Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have, my hair is bleached and dyed to within an inch of its life, so I have a ton of experience with dry, broken hair.

I wouldn't mind cutting like an inch off it has taken me so long to grow it and I screwed it up ):

I do agree with Hailey, cut off as much as you're comfortable with cutting, then you won't have to cut off so much later when your hair is healthier.

Honestly the best thing to do is cut off all the damage and try and keep up with hair appointments, like book yourself an appointment every 3 months each time you visit the hair salon! other wise you'll get "lazy" with fixing the problem. also coconut oil has saved my hair so much! like I can't even stress enough the difference it has made to my hair. I went from jet black hair (natural hair colour) to baby pink...so I had to bleach my hair 3 times and the damage was awful! I thought I'd save it with leave in conditioners and all these other solutions but cutting the ends off is the only advice I'd ever give!

Oh and massaging coconut oil into your hair just once a week for a good 20 mins will help your hair grow so quickly and the oil itself will help it stay as healthy as possible (:

Just a little tip, do not mix and match deep conditioner.
