treatment for dry bleached hair

[SoTiredNeedHoliday]

Hello,
What is a good repair treatment to use? My hair feels like straw at the moment!

I feel your pain , a hairdresser took inches off mine and since I've used olaplex and Philip Kingsley's elasticizer but it still feels awful ... olaplex number 3 and number 8 are what I'm using so looking forward to seeing the recommendations

It’s using Olaplex in the actual dye that makes the difference first in my opinion - and then number 3 has a culminative effect

Olaplex number 3. Discount on Look Fantastic at the moment.

Redken protein shampoo and conditioner.

Joico k pak is fantastic. I use olaplex first then joico, my hair has been bleached for 10 years and this combination makes my hair really soft and healthy.

My hair dresser is a big REDKEN fan too

You need to use Olaplex 0 first, then 3. 3 on its own won't make it feel better.

Olaplex number 3 2/3 times a week. I bleached mine myself last year with a 40% bleach (far too high for a novice) and I was terrified it would all absolutely off.

So I done some research like you and bought myself some olaolex and my hair was absolutely fine. I genuinely think if I didn’t use it then it could have snapped an inch from the root. Pleased to say it’s been bleached at the hairdressers since and she was 😱 when I told her what percentage bleach I used.

It saved my hair

To add- there are different numbers as the above poster suggests and I think some of them are even for nourishing.

I use Olaplex No 3 and No 8. My hairdresser also uses Olaplex in the bleach but I don’t know which one it is. The 3 is a hair perfector and I sleep with it on and the 8 is a hair mask.

Fudge damage repair is much cheaper than olaplex and leaves my Bleached hair really soft and smooth. I loved olaplex but it’s way too expensive for what it is.

Stop using shampoo and co-wash instead.

What do you mean by co-wash?

Conditioner first, then shampoo.

Olaplex 6 for me - the leave in cream. No high heat too, the difference since using that and a Dyson airwrap is incredible

Wash hair with ASIAM. I buy it on eBay. No need for shampoo at all

Olaplex 3, 4, 5 & 6
Redken extreme anti-snap treatment

Not so much a product recommendation but I've just bought a heated shower cap (you heat it in the microwave) to use alongside my deep conditioner. I use Olaplex but I'm hoping the cap will make it even more effective - I haven't had a chance to use it yet but I will report back!

Since having my hair bleached I have also been using Ouai leave in conditioner spray, I still use in-shower conditioner as well so just as an extra.

this stuff is amazing, I'm not sure how the ingredients compare to Olaplex but having tried both I find this just as good but much cheaper!

My new love is lube. Someone on here recommended it and it’s bloody amazing. Scrunch it into damp hair alongside whatever products you use.

Bleach London mask is a good alternative if your looking for something cheaper. I used this when my haor was bleached and I loved it
