need a bridal glow up! have 7 months
hi folks! here to ask for some help after living in drug store brand world with no real understanding of what my hair needs.
i have a lot of hair but i believe the hair strands themselves are fine. i was a red box dye girlie for a while and it’s been about 2.5 years since the last time i did it but you can still see where my hair color had been lifted.
the left picture is today, day 2 post wash and i had it in a lose braid overnight so the waves were due to that. right picture was a week ago and it was how it looked after just air drying it.
a few issues!
•very dry, straw like hair in the lightened parts (hoping not to have to chop it all off but understand if that’s the only option)
•my hair feels very flat around my scalp and while its shiny and healthy at my scalp not sure what can be done about volume
•my hair is very frizzy, especially at the nape of my neck. with the flat hair around the scalp and then friZ at the neck and down it’s not my favorite of looks lol. i’ve tried curly girl/wavy girl routines and i think the products might have been too heavy for my hair because i never get a defined curl/wave so not sure how to tame my frizz
really want to get my hair healthy and shiny for my wedding but really have no idea where to start or what products would be appropriate so wanted to ask the hair gurus! thank u!
(also additional info - the frizz/lack of definition has been an issue all my life so it wasn’t necessarily an issue that just came about after my hair dyeing
also also - i usually just let my hair air dry, i straighten it approx ~5 times a year and don’t use blow dryers so probably not heat damage either)
