Hair help

Ladies, I’m feeling so depressed and stressed. My husband has been complaining to me to dye my hair back to blonde. It was black. I’ve been putting it off because 1) it’s a pricey task ... we just spent over $100 on materials and everything and 2) it’s a damaging process. We just moved about a month ago from a place that had hard water and I just got my hair into feeling more luscious and healthy. But I decided to go ahead and dye it because he really liked when it was blonde. However, not sure if it’s cause I’m pregnant and my diet is different or my body is just going through the changes of pregnancy but after the second bleach and toning process, my hair started falling out in chunks. On top of that, the coloring process didn’t take well at the roots, which usually isn’t a problem for me. And now I am really distraught. I’m disappointed, I’m saddened. I was literally in tears because I’ve been trying to grow my hair healthy for a whole year now and the move to a new city last year hurt that because of the bad water. I just feel so emotional about this and I’m not sure what to do. I really just want to cut it all off because I’m that upset but I don’t want to regret it. I feel like it’s my husband fault for pressuring me to change the color.

Pregnancy hormones change how your hair reacts to color... it needed to be done in steps & slowly if your hair had black color in it. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I’m a hairstylist & my hair is everything to me! I’d say cut it a bit to even out the fallen hair as much as possible. Then start doing treatments. Get keratin & protein ones. Sally’s has some great ones from the Ion brand. Use coconut oil as well. Make sure when you color your hair they’re using Olaplex or Brazilian Bond Builder aka B3. This helps protect your hair during the chemical process.

I would not be bleaching my hair fromBlack to blonde while pregnant... dyeing your hair while pregnant at all is a bit questionable and that sounds like it’ll be a lengthy process involving many attempts and a lot of chemicals. Not good for you during pregnancy. Surely he should understand that.

Unless your husband dunked your head in bleach, it’s not his fault. Are you an adult?I am sorry about your hair, but that last sentence had me like...

I’ve been doing hair for 10 yrs and going back to blonde after dying it black is next to impossible and can definitely kill your hair if it isn’t done in sessions. I wouldn’t have even tried that. He would have just had to wait til my hair grew out. I’m Always changing my hair color about every few months but it’s never from black to blonde. This is what I got coming from black but I took my time and let it grow out and only bleached the roots til it eventually grew out . Chances are it will only leave you with an orange tone or reddish brownish

If he doesn’t love you no matter what color your hair is , then does he really love you for who you are and not your appearance

I'm sorry you had to deal with that. it was probably a combination of the chemicals and stress you're dealing with. If your hair is damaged too much, I would cut it. after you cut it and you're able to grow it out (if that's what you choose), don't let your husband pressure you into dyeing it again. You need to let your hair rest and heal.
