Henna or Garnier. both work great and they don't damage hair and keep it looking soft and healthy. trust me these 2 brands are really good and i use them all the timeeWhat is the best hair dye to use on dry damaged hair?
mabe one off those wash in wash ou ones which usally last afew weeks. this way your not going to use even more chemicals or try a semmi permanet these have less dammaging effect. as for henn which i use true better for hair, but as yours has just been dyed i wouldnt go there as would come out a funny colour, and you wouls have to wait a few weeks like 8-12 before you could use. wash in toner clour there quite strong colours.
I would use Henna. Henna can be healthy for your hair strengthening and thickening it, smoothing the cuticle and generally making it more resistant to breakage.



You cannot use ';dye'; on hair with any good success. Dye is for fabrics, it has a whole different formula and just doesn't really work on hair. I think you meant hair colour, or tint. It makes it easier to understand you when you use the correct terms.





Hair is dead once it leaves the surface of your skin. What you meant is that it is lifeless and has no body. That can happen when you have over-processed it by various means. It just wasn't looked after properly when you were doing them originally, and left to get worse over time.





Depending on how severely damaged it is now (it's hard to see it from here), you may not be able to do very much at this point. There are some preparations that will make it feel a bit better until it has grown out and you can cut off all this hair. The hair growing in will be in the best shape it can be.





Because you are doing a few things incorrectly, it is hard to advise you to continue. You need to start all over by studying the hair and the processes you have used and how they work on the hair. You will have a better understanding of what to do next. That is why you pay a hairdresser for this advice since they have studied for a long time and have lots of experience with different hair problems and different products.





You should get your hair into a fairly good condition first before doing much else. Unfortunately, most of the products on the shelf are useless waxes and oils which really don't help much. You need to rebuild the internal structure of the hair, and need to get moisture (water) into the hair again -- and keep it there! You will have to get some good quality professional products designed for this purpose. Try Nexxus or Focus21. Infusium23 is good as a topical application.





Do not use a permanent hair colour. You do not want to do any further chemical processing. At this point, I would advise getting a semi-permanent colour. It can only add colour and cannot make it lighter. It will slowly wash off, so you will get fading fairly fast, and you will have to re-apply. This will blend in your lightened hairs so they are not as noticeable. Henna is a permanent reddish colour, although it only works on the outside of the hair. See http://www.haircoloringguide.com/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_hair for more details.





I am concerned that you have silver streaks. Those will appear lighter, although some of them will tend to absorb a lot of colour and may appear darker. You will have to see which it is. Because there is no colour in these areas, you will get some strange off-colour effects, such as a green if you use a flat brown. You will need to put some colour in those strands, usually a red/gold, by using a colour filler.





To get a very good natural looking colour to repair your streaks requires a lot of care and attention by someone that understands what is going on, and how to avoid any problems. Even though you don't have the money, I still recommend that you find a qualified professional hair colourist to do this for you. You may find a school will do this for a lot less than a commercial salon. I would hesitate doing it myself.
