Hmm... I'm always doing stuff to my hair and have had one bleach/streaking mishap with it. I believe you can always fix a hair problem even though a lot of people say you can't, don't lose hope. Hair problems are always hard to deal with. I did streaks at home with bleach one time and the color lifted like you wouldn't believe; they weren't even streaks. They were more like chunks with green mixed in it! After flat ironing it, it was still real brittle. With a phone call to Clairol, everything was fixed, and I pulled it off perfectly. Whew! That was a scaaaary week! (lol.)
I think maybe you can comb your hair a certain way to make the patchiness look less obvious, and take a break from dyeing it. If you must dye it, give it a two week break from one dye to another. Maybe 3 weeks just to be safe. don't forget to deep condition the hair in between processes. Maybe a hot oil treatment or a reconsrtucting conditioner to keep your hair from breaking so much. Don't over brush it; just baby it. Don't panic either, because it will get better!

your hair is overworked. you should give it a rest and dont do anything else to it. you are supposed to wait a week btwn putting chemicals in your hair so that it can "rest". dont over condition it either. that can make it fall out more. use a moisturizing shampoo and a light conditioner. it sounds gross, but let your hair get a little "greasy" btwn times you wash it. before you do wash it, brush your hair so that the oils go through the entire hair shaft. be gentle though! the best conditoner is the one your body makes. it'll be okay...your hair will calm down in no time. it happens to me right after i get my hair dyed. be gentle to it! hope that helps hun!

Calm down. You are not balding. If you are save your money for a hair transplant. That really works. Please live. Also I would nEVER do my hair aT home. Always go to the salon for hair highlighting. I only dye my hair at home. Highlighting is much more tedius and complex.

to help your hair come back to life. Go to Sally and buy the Feria conditioner. Then buy Loreal Hair serum in an orange pump bottle at Kroger or Walmart...use that to shine up your hair and soften it. Your hair will be back to normal and in better condition within a week or week and a half.
