MANY people have had a hair nightmare in their lives, but one woman was left crying after bleaching her hair.
She said she wanted to go blonde, but her hair just started falling out.

Although some of the strands were still long, she had large chunks of shorter hair.
On her @morganpaigecarter When she heard this, she was in tears as she wrote, “Can anyone help me find someone who can fix this?”
The unfortunate woman said it happened after she visited a salon for a chemical treatment.
She said, “I know you’ll come to me and say, ‘Why don’t you just shave it off?’
“But my hair is my comfort blanket. I didn’t realize how dependent I was on it until I didn’t have one anymore.
“Imagine you want to look cute or you are going out for a Nice dinner, and you have to figure out how to fix the situation so that it looks presentable.
“This has been my life for the past four and a half months, so I haven’t shaved it off or gotten a pixie cut.
“My hair is my comfort blanket. I have tried every product to make it look presentable and hide it, but it still looks awful.”
She said she had worn a wig to cover the spots, but that it didn’t go down well.
Morgan added: “I tried an old-fashioned wig, but it made me look like I just stepped out of the Brady Bunch, so that was a no.
“I put my hair in a messy bun and call it a day.
“But yeah, I usually wear a hat.”
Unfortunately, her hair has a negative effect on her self-confidence.
Morgan wrote: ‘I was told to let it grow out before trying to fix it.
“I think it’s finally almost long enough for overtime.”
How can I repair damaged hair from hair dye?
Did you push the paint too far? There are ways to fix this WITHOUT cutting it all off.
- Give it a makeover: We’re not saying you have to cut it all off, but you should trim away the worst split ends.
- Skip the heat products: Stop styling/curling your hair immediately.
- Stop Dyeing Your Hair: Stop bleaching and use ammonia-free semi-permanent hair dye for the time being.
- Switch to sulfate-free: Use milder, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to repair your damaged hair. And if possible, wash your hair no more than twice a week, as this strips damaged hair and makes it brittle.
- Treatment masks: Use one of the hair masks below to rejuvenate your locks.
- Sun protection: Cover your damaged hair while sunbathing or swimming in a chlorinated pool to prevent further damage.
- Eat your hair healthy: make sure you drink plenty of water, eat omega 3 fatty acids from salmon, walnuts and flaxseed, and green vegetables like spinach, kale, carrots and avocado. Some prenatal supplements also promote hair growth.
Many people responded with kindness and encouragement in the comments, and some shared their own advice.
Someone wrote: ‘Been a hairdresser for over ten years. You get your hair chemically cut. Pixie and start over. Buy a wig if you hate the pixie.’
“I’m sorry this happened to you.”
A second added: “Your face can totally rock a pixie haircut!”
And a third commented: “Whoever did this to you should have their license revoked. I’m so sorry!!!!”
