Maybe a straightening/smoothing balm on the ends of your natural hair. Those products tend to make the hair look much better.

Can you color it just a shade darker and see if that will help it from looking so dry, the bleach sucks out all the moisture, maybe something still in the blonde family.

pack on a deep moisturizing conditioner every day and comb your hair gently (dont brush it or the little dried ends with just snap off), when hair is dry and brittle like that a lot of people recommend protein reconstructor treatments but be careful not to use it too often (i'd recommend nexxus emergencee)...too often with the protein and it will make your hair more brittle. and definately use a moisturizing conditioner immediately after doing the protein treatment.

a light smoothing balm/serum put on the palms of your hands and then smoothed over your own dry hair can help it blend better with the extensions, good luck!

A good smoothing serum I'd recommend is Beyond the Zone's Split Mender. It definitely doesn't get rid of split ends, but it smooths out dried ends pretty well.

K-Pak Reconstruct!

This is THE single item that saved my hair many-a-times when I was blonde. It's a little pricey, but DEF worth it. Just wash your hair as usual, then put in a generous amount of the conditioner on the ends and work it in. Then wrap your hair up in a plastic shower cap (seran wrap works too...even a shopping bag...just wrap it up) and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Then I use the blow dryer on low and heat it up for about 5 minutes. Rinse out and viola.....your hair will be so much better!

HTH!

You could try a moisturising conditioner and also a leave in conditioner too. If you use a hair dryer and flat irons then Tresemme heat defence is really good for repairing hair and making it smoother. I had major dry hair after dying it and after using the heat defense stuff it looked much better

my hair has been fried so much (bleaching hair, to dyeing, highlighting, to dying again, and to highlighting again- all in a year!) and it got so brittle to the point where, when wet, i would pluck it and it would break. try deep conditioners such as k-pak reconstruct and aPHogee 2-minute reconstruct. they work miracles!

I'm sorry to hear that! There's still hope, you can help repair hair by deep conditioning often and doing regular hot oil treatments to restore hair of it's natural moisture. When doing those oil treatments make sure you leave them in long enough to penetrate the hair shafts and work their magic; also don't forget to focus on the ends where there may be the most damage. But also, it's important not to shampoo/wash hair all the time, this can also strip hair of moisture when done frequently. I would suggest eliminating hot tools such as flat irons, curling irons all together. Those are no good and will only further damage the hair.

As for your hair make sure you've gotten rid of it all, if not most of the damage and split ends. I know most women cringe at the thought, but have you ever considered getting an entirely new cut altogether? I'm not suggesting you go too short however, but it will be much better on your hair in the long run if it's healthy and free from the damage. The regrowth will be SO much better in the long run. (and besides, short hair is in nowadays!)

Whatever you decide to do, I hope it works out for you after time. If you continue to practice good care towards your hair and usual maintenance it should revert back to its healthy state in no time. If you're thinking of trying a darker shade make sure you wait at least a month, if not a little more if you plan on redyeing. Too soon will only result in more unwanted damage.

Hope your situation gets better soon!
