Is my hair badly damaged?

Not everyone will tell you that your hair is damaged in a salon and send you away. Your hair may have not looked damaged but it was.The uneven hair colour is due to hair being porous and the texture you describe means it is dry and possibly brittle hair in that state will result in split ends and breakage.Your hair is chemically damaged. Try products from Phyto to help restore your hair to health the leave in conditioner is a must , avoid straightening your hair and wash hair with luke warm water.If you change hair colours that much opt for henna based hair dyes other wise efforts are wasted if you are just going to return to your old habits.
