Instructions: how I ruined my hair with particular cruelty. Fast. Efficient

We’ve all made bad decisions when it comes to our hair. Whether it’s a spur-of-the-moment color change, overusing heat styling tools, or trying out that DIY haircut, sometimes things go really wrong. I’ve been there, and I’m here to share how I managed to ruin my hair in record time – and with quite a bit of enthusiasm.

Everything began with a single, basic thought: I wanted to quickly change how I looked. Regretfully, a string of bad decisions ensued, leaving my hair nearly unrecognizably dry and damaged. When you look back, it’s almost unbelievable how quickly things got worse.

Continue reading to find out how I was able to cause this much damage to my hair. I’ll walk you through my procedure step-by-step so you won’t make the same errors I did.

Stages of destruction

Stage one

At this point, I just lost the will to take extra care of my hair because of some depressing things that had happened to me. I just gave it a wash and applied conditioner and masks. I always at least say thank you for that oil and sometimes I use a leave-in spray. Lamellar water Kerastase is extremely rare. At the time, all I had in my arsenal was Kerastase water and these products.

However, none of this is done in a systematic manner and occasionally with total disregard for the needs and condition of the hair. For three consecutive washes, I was limited to using Hydra or a moisturizing conditioner.

I then chose to use a Fito Cosmetics "Thick burdock oil for hair mask" after realizing there was still insufficient nourishment. I once saw that it is effective on the website of a girl with low porosity hair.

My hair felt like this:

The ends were getting quite stiff and crunching every now and then, which was sad. The hair turned lighter and duller overall.

I started using an iron to style it into light curls around the same time that April was coming to an end and I said goodbye to hats. Approximately once every 1.5 weeks, based on how I’m feeling. And after a month or so, I started to see split ends and white dots.

What was it that I attempted to do?

It didn’t help when she noticed white dots leaning on Hydra. Because royal jelly is restorative, I made the decision to use it more frequently after experiencing heavy, depressing icicles.

However, the burdock mask, being a nutritional component, usually helped to save them a little, and after a few washes, they became elastic and filled. It is very beneficial, at least for hair with low porosity, as I frequently experienced overdrying and plaque from other nutritional products that included oils in their composition.

What was going through my head? As though all of its knowledge had vanished out of it overnight. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I thought, "After all, I have pretty good hair, healthy, low-porosity, beautiful and shiny, there are no special problems with it." I couldn’t think of anything better than to stop paying attention to it. Either that, or I became so accustomed to it that I believed I could easily make things right when I felt the need again. However, no. The situation worsened, and the desire did not materialize.

I realized there was nothing to show in my hair, so I decided not to snap a picture of it.

Stage two

However, my life circumstances decided that I needed more than just grief and problems. And I experienced the abrupt loss of one loved one and the nearly instantaneous betrayal of another. The result of all this was a deep financial hole and a rather difficult emotional state. There was no discussion about care at all here, which was especially concerning because nearly every product I owned—including Hydra, my savior—was almost empty.

Among my concerns were:

• Kerastase lamellar water
• Periche light moisturizing conditioner
• Some kind of Schauma shampoo
• Fito cosmetic mask "Burdock oil"

A sort of regimen for keeping my hair looking nice and in reasonable condition.

However, they showed me absolutely no concern. I didn’t even give their appearance any thought. They caught my eye only when they became entangled in wind-blown mats and knots; otherwise, I would just pull them out or arrange them in a bun. The only solace might be that, at last, I managed to pull my split, dry hair into a bun, and it held together rather than falling apart, but this was a questionable comfort. I started to have frequent panic attacks, lost a lot of weight, ate very poorly and irregularly, and slept poorly.

One thing went right though: in spite of all the stress, my hair grew nicely and was already the length I had always wanted! This was something I observed, found pleasing, and seemed to make up for their overall state of affairs.

By the end of August, though, I had finally come to my senses and had taken my emergency fund, which was sitting on a long-desired bicycle, added a little more, and headed for the mountains and the sea, reasoning that it would be easier to deal with things and sort them out with newfound strength.

I even have a picture of them here; it wasn’t taken with the hair removed, but you can see how sick they are.

Stage three and final

And everything that had managed to survive every time before was finally eliminated during these two weeks. Despite having borrowed from a friend Hydra decants and Insight Antioxidant masks with me, they were barely able to handle the reality that I:

• Salined my hair with salty sea water, not always rinsing it with fresh water after that.
• Fried in the sun at +36 without a hat.
• Fluttered in the crazy mountain wind with dust and sand!

You can see the timeline of events here.

However, keep in mind that I have a low-porosity structure because they were dense.

The height of this embarrassment was a two-day mountain hike during which I neglected to braid my hair, causing it to wind up between my back and the moving backpack. After that, I misplaced the elastic band entirely. Then the untied hair night in a tent and the evening mountain wind. I came back with a massive knot that I could not even begin to untangle, not with or without a needle. I became furious at this and began ripping them off, even though I was wearing a thick, nourishing mask in the shower!

To just pull and tear off wet from where they were tangled, not to pull out. To put it another way, only a portion of the length was chopped off. Of course, it didn’t matter if it wasn’t tangled—I was still affected. As a result, when I stepped out of the shower, my hair was in a palm-sized tuft.

Though I was only mildly depressed at the time, I now shudder when I think back on all of this.

After getting back home and somewhat reawakened, I started to reintegrate into life and develop an interest in myself. I came to the realization that I had nothing to properly take care of my hair. After a while, I even visited Hairmaniac and browsed through my posts, admiring the hair in them. And I became aware of how awful the current situation is.

I made some pitiful attempts to address the issue:

I obtained Hydra. Using it along with lactic acid, I attempted to do a deep moisturizing procedure, saturating everything with lamellar water. They flowed and sparkled before and after. They softened a little bit now.

I used a burdock mask to nourish it and warmed it further with a hairdryer. They used to be appreciative of this and became supple, elastic, and well-fed. However, at this point, all they agreed upon was to become slightly more comb-friendly and to begin reflecting light.

But after all the abuse, I wonder, what did I hope for? I haven’t thought about the hair falling out at a certain length since the days of constant coloring and lightening. It abruptly separated from the white dots. These split ends and white dots were everywhere. The main length felt fairly good, but the ends were hard, prickly, and crunchy. They also stuck out.

So when it came time for another coat and they started to get tangled in knots, I went to my hairdresser and regretted not cutting off 7 cm there because I didn’t want to tear them out again. I was also pretty tired of having to untangle them every day! For this reason, the picture was taken only before the haircut, from the back of that same length.

And now for the distinction! We simply chopped off what was beyond saving and used a restorative mask to wash our hair. I can now truly appreciate my low-porosity structure and give it a lot of gratitude!

I now intend to go back to using herbs because the damage would have been significantly less if I had used them at least during the period when my life was stable and I had the strength to do so. Grow the length I want and use my still-small product arsenal to keep my hair looking respectable.

Special means of destruction

Thus, in addition to the general lack of care and proper attention, the following aspects can be emphasized separately:

• Constant styling with an iron without thermal protection, which I never had .
• I could go two days without combing my hair, without putting it up at night in a braid or a high ponytail.
• I did not wash my hair after salty sea water.
• I simply tore out or ripped off tangles that formed under clothes and in the wind.

It’s simple to ignore the harm we’re causing to our hair when we’re pursuing drastic or fast fixes. The effects can be severe and protracted if heat tools are used excessively, proper maintenance is neglected, or chemical treatments are applied too quickly.

To get back on track, though, you must first identify where things went wrong. Even severely damaged hair can begin to heal with the right approach and a little patience.

Invest in a healthy routine, go slowly, and treat your hair gently. In the long run, your hair will thank you!

In this post, I’ll discuss my own experience of how, through a series of bad decisions—such as overprocessing my hair with dyes and using heat styling tools without wearing a protective apex—I was able to quickly and completely ruin my hair. As I describe the quick and easy ways I damaged my hair and provide advice on how to prevent the same outcome, you can learn from my mistakes.
