My hair is ruined, advice needed!

Since having some colour stripped out of my hair & then having it bleached it's absolutely terrible, it's so dry, it gets knotted so so easily. It was thick to start with but I'm pregnant so I think it's just got drier & thicker.
I'm at the point now where I can't even get my tangle teezer through it, it's completely knotted. I've washed it tonight & put some conditioner in it to leave in over night, it's only cheap stuff though so doubt it'll do any good. I wanted to get it cut tomorrow to make it more manageable & get rid of some of the dry/knotty ends but obviously can't go anywhere in this state.

Any miracle products I can put on it so I'll be able to get a brush through it? Will it get worse if I just put a brown over it once it's cut to get rid of the horrible brassy 'blonde' that was meant to be a balayage?
Unfortunately I can only afford a cut at the hairdressers at the moment & not any of their treatments or colours so hoping for some of you to come along with some miracles for me

Thanks everyone 😊 I was majorly disappointed when we went for dinner at the hotel last night after swimming & shower to find that it no longer looked as fabulous as the hairdresser had finished it off haha

Someone did that to mine once. I had to have 6 inches taken off and put super expensive conditioner on for months, it's ok now. I put dark blond clairol nice n easy on top and that worked fine, as long as it's a darker colour you should be ok.
It does piss you off when someone ruins your hair like that though. Bleaching really is a professional only job.

Your hairdresser is incredible! I was very worried for your poor hair - it looks great.

womblingthree Olaplex really is amazing. I'm off to put some on now (not a bot I promise!) - but I will be trying the colorpHlex mentioned here as well.
