Help with hair

Hi s&b I need your help.

I have had the same hair style for 18 months now and I'm bored. My hair is so bleached it won't grow so I'm limited on what I can do style wise.

I want to change style and colour. As I'm so crap it needs to be easy to style at home. Also I have natural curl hair so I straighten the hell out of it Blush

I have attached a pic of me with how my hair is now (it's a little longer now maybe skimming my shoulders) advice very welcome (ideally I want to keep it long as I'm desperate for my long hair back)

You could dye it that lovely silvery lilac shade?

Or lowlights if you're looking for a more natural look?

I really like the style tbh so wouldn't change that personally

Well, in my opinion, I think you should tone it down a little bit, maybe try a brown-ish colour, in order for it start growing again and be more healthy. If you choose a hair colour that is closer to your natural colour, you won't have to dye it every month anymore

I'd go slightly darker. Don't use a box dye though.

Also if bleach has ruined it get a intensive hair mask such as Amika to combat the damage caused by the bleach.

Personally if wouldn't put any due on it til it had been treated.

Thanks guys.

I see a hairdresser ever 6 weeks, I haven't box dyed in years.

I agree I think darker would be best, how about style? I'm stuck in a rut

I love this hair but not sure how easy it is?

Easy to maintain. Your hair is wavy so go for it.

Use a decent conditioner and a curl cream to stop the frizz

Darker and wavy sound great!
Have you thought of using Olaplex to help strengthen your hair and repair the damaged bonds in your hair?
It has really helped strengthen my hair and leave it looking healthy, even after colouring. My hairdresser mixes it with my colour, and has helped the condition and appearance of my hair.
