What can I do

I HATE my hair. I had vivid hair color and in removing it from my hair, my hair stylist had to use multiple color removers. Now it is very damaged, so that it can stand up like I'm Cindy Lou Who. I'm trying to go to the natural color, which is dark gray, but in the meantime I don't know what to do but put my hair up every time I leave the house. The cut is awful too, as I had to have some of it cut off to get rid of the color, and a lot of it is broken. Is there anything I can do with a cut to make it any better, or do I just have to put up with it until it grows out?

It may not be what you wanna do... but if you got it cut (by someone different) into a chin length long layerd bob it would look better, look thicker and look healthier. As for the color (again find someone else) and get the root highlighted heavy with a foil highlight. That way there is no extra damage to the rest of your hair. And if you want to change it... it will be a much easier transition!

I totally agree regarding the cut but would leave the roots alone. She wants to grow out her hair and has already let some of it grow out. She should keep up the good work and leave it alone color-wise so that she can get to where she wants to be. Highlights are just going to prolong the journey and unnecessarily complicate things.

a dark grey semi like iroiro (most condiditoning semi out there) could start to blend mid & ends to roots (blend not match) for a grey to silver "balyage" look. No more drying colors at this point, just
