Awww, thanks for sharing this very valuable experience! One thing I believe to be true is that however your dreads look, whatever style you have, whatever colour you have, people always think you did it on purpose and that it looks cool. So I don’t think you need to worry, you are totally rocking it babe xx
A bleach accident can turn in to a happy accident, and that braided style is so adorable. I know it wasn't intentional, but it looks great! The wonderful thing about hair is, it grows. It takes time, but it does grow. I would highly suggest an olaplex treatment. I used olaplex on my dreads when i had them, and it was perfectly fine. Olaplex rebonds the structure of your hair, and it might help that "crunchy" feeling. I was a hairstylist, and i had dreads for 5 years, but decided to comb them out due to back and neck pain. With that being said, I've have plenty of bleach accidents in my life and can sympathize with the feeling. Things to know: you didn't completely wreck your hair, its ok, it happens to many people. You are gorgeous, it's only a temporary state of being, and can be resolved with time and patience. Embrace the new styles you get to try, and know that taking the step to share your experience is huge and very helpful to others and is extremely courageous.
Ok!! Don’t panic!! The hair style u did is cute! But I was think u could do gel waves on the sides! And once u get ur bangs a bit longer maybe do micro bangs! Also u could easily fake side bangs too! I feel for u!! My heart hurts for ya and I’ll pray for u some comfort!! But consider gel waves on sides Bc I think that would be cute!!
Hi know how worried and scared you must have felt when that happened and thank you for still sharing your experience with us amid all the criticism you probably was expecting to receive but most of us have been there at one time or the other and choose not to share so you taught us some thing very important and am proud of you for doing that. One thing I must caution you about though is to be very careful with the amount of time that you bleach because it's very dangerous for you scalp and can cause scalp sores that can be cancerous so just be careful ok. ❤
Aww thats really nice thank you for your beautiful comment, I was a bit worried about the lash back from people but actually everyone has been so kind and understanding and I want to show all parts of my journey :) Thanks so much for your comment :) xx
Rebuild and restore. Don't dye...you are beautiful without it. Trust and believe with time your hair is going to recover 10 fold! Nutrition is going to make a world of difference...veggies, and K2 supplement. Collagen very important. Protein...lean protein...chicken, fish is wonderful for hair. You got this. Bleach is bad inside and out beautiful.
So sorry this happened to you they and you are beautiful regardless, thank you for sharing your experience, and I love the look it looks good ❤ would love to see more videos from you, you have really helped in my journey
I put dread extensions in my hair when it was short and desperately damaged. It took some maintenance daily and weekly to keep it up. But is possible. You are awesome. 🎉
If this was me beautiful, I would just leave them loose, don't keep braiding your dreads so tight or bleaching roots, let them be free, stop putting so much strain on your roots. I only say this because the key thing I keep picking up in all your videos over the years is that you want fat dreads and unfortunately you're doing everything to stop that. Hey, honestly your hair looks awesome your dreads look amazing, I've always admired your look, but they're not going to thicken up until you stop having them pulled on all the time and dying them. Love your content!! So happy you're back sharing your dread journey. You inspired me to get mine. ✌️💛✨
I just want to reiterate hun, that you do look beautiful, regardless of your hair mishaps of late. You are naturally beautiful, so don't worry about your look. Xx
I agree! On top of the bleaching, the constant maintenance with the crochet hook so close to the scalp is a big part of what’s making them skinny. I 100% understand the desire to have clean, tight sections, cuz I want the same thing, but seeing your hair wrapped so close around your roots to where it looks like you have rubber bands on (I thought you did at first at one point in this vid and I couldn’t believe you’d do that..) is going to keep making them super tight and thin. I’ve been fighting the urge to keep the crochet hook AWAY from my hair, and my dreads have been muuuuch happier..albeit a little less perfectly-sectioned-looking.
Thank you so much for your advice your deffs right haha :) I have to have them pulled up for work everyday but i try to pull them to loosen it up but yea I just need to leave them alone. thank you! :) xx
Thank you, the bands break off within a few days it which loosens it a bit but it deffs was hurting my sides so your probs right haha, thanks heaps :) xx
You know what? it honestly looks amazing! Only you could pull this off and make it look hot! 😂 I really do appreciate this video though because I have been contemplating bleaching my hair. After seeing this though I will definitely just allow my natural brown to come in and learn to love it! ❤️
OMG I'm so glad you watched this before bleaching hahaha I'm so regretting it, the brown was so strong and I really wish I could go back. Thanks heaps for your comment lovely appreciate you :) xx
Awe you are adorable. If I didn't know I would assume your sides were growing out from being shaved. The head band is cute and the long braids without the headband is just as cute. Yes you look great but honestly you'd look great in any hairstyle. But love love your dreads!
Omg this is so funny because I'm in a very similar position 😂 I really feel for you because it's so scary, but you still rock the look!! Give your hair a break now, I certainly will. The amazing thing about maintained dreads is they always look intentional! As a side note I've been using jamaican black castor oil shampoo every other wash (and stopped bleaching) and my dreads feel so much thicker and softer, would recommend!!
Hey lovely, that is a good idea but I hate when you can see any brown at all, so for the look I want it does need to be bleached otherwise you would still see some brown but awesome idea ;)! xx
Do you do a lot of crochet maintenance on your locs? The way they aren’t dreading is very strange, unless maybe your hair is so bleached that it’s stretching/snapping within the loc. I’ve had bleached locs before and didn’t experience that.. mine were ash blonde though, so maybe it’s to do with having platinum.
If you take out or lessen the amount of added human hair, and stop bleaching it , your hair will thicken. By adding extra weight to your roots, your hair will thin at the roots. Bleaching does the same thing. Leave your hair be, and let the breakage grow out, and your hair will grow thick again.
I always end up to do almost the same 😅 I decide know i let my regrowth grow and then after some months I end up bleaching it by myself 🙈 learn and grow -process forever 😄
Hey girl! I’m so sorry this happened. I’d say just grow everything out, no bleach, just let your hair be. It will grow back so healthy, dreads are a protective style and will restore your hair. Good luck girly ❤️🫶🏼
My initial reaction was😱,but on the other hand it looked like you had cut it that way and it suits you. So not too bad an incident after all. You rock the look.😊
I know this vid is 9 months old, but I have dreads and the sides of my head are shaved, just from my temple to behind my ear, to the bottom of my ear. I did this look intentionally, and I personally like it for various reasons - I think it's pretty aesthetically, I hated that the dreads around my ears never laid down right, and I also live in a desert and this helped with the heat. So, I like it. May not be your style. Hope you figured it out in the last 9 months.
I personally think you should leave it alone. Maybe try cutting off the extensions to minimize the weight and your hair back to a healthy state. Hope your journey gets better
So sorry that happened to you 😢I think you should just go ahead and shave it,it would look like a hairstyle more,the length it's at seems a bit awkward. But you're beautiful none-the-less😊
The headband looked really good. Honestly, you suit it, almost preppy style, very feminine, but it also looks great without less bulk in the front, which does shape the style better. So all in all, happy accident ❤
Hey thanks so much for your comment :) I have tried a bleach wash in the past before I had dreads but I don't think it would get the roots light enough, I threw away all my bleach now I'm just going to go natural haha but thanks heaps for the idea :) xx
After watching an insane amount of bleach tutorials over the years it sounds like the bleach just finally did your hair in. As hard as it is I’d step away from the bleach altogether
Aww, you can’t us bleach with the sun lightener or that’s what us 90’s kid knew it as. I wish the bottle told you. Well you know now and it wasn’t that bad of a lesson.
please give your hair a break. Care for your dreadlocks with moisture and leave in conditioner. please stop bleaching your hair. I'm so sorry for you, that really hurt me. I have dreads myself and care for them as described above. I can comb it up and re-dread it, the hair is fine if you just leave it alone :(

Awww your so lovely thank you so much! :) xxxx
Both the headband and the braided dreads look really good! Great solutions for a bleaching accident (I've melted my hair with bleach before, too!)
Awww I'm sorry you melted yours aswell but totally making me feel a bit better ;) hahaha. Thanks heaps for your feedback aswell! :) x

OH NO! I am so gutted 4 u!!! The braid looks good tho - nice save 😅 ❤

I think that hair style looks really cute, but I did prefer it with the headband. You're so pretty you can get away with any style!
I think I like the headband better aswell the other one is a bit far from my style, thanks heaps for your comment :) xx
Oh My 🙈🙈
It looks fine... you are beautiful and you rock the look. The hair will grow back 😘

Looks good now , is there a way to do the roots without damage - I've been dreadlocking the regrowth with blonde extensions - covers well 💟☮
Hey lovely, that is a good idea but I hate when you can see any brown at all, so for the look I want it does need to be bleached otherwise you would still see some brown but awesome idea ;)! xx
@@dreadalinaa 💜
I love the Mohawk, looks really good.
Ahhh thanks heaps! :)

Bleach accidents happen, honestly it's barely noticeable and you're rocking this look anyways
Ahhh your so sweet thanks heaps! :)

Awww hahaha 100% totally resonate 🤣🤣❤️💝
I would never bleach my locks, I have spent too long growing it 😊
Smart person ;) xxx
@@dreadalinaa I don't know about that lol... but I do plan on using a semi color soon 😉
@@earthrider700 aww thats exciting ☺️ as long as it's not Bleach I'm sure it'll be great 😂🥰🌟💝
it looks good really. Did your back brake off to or just the front?
Thanks heaps :) The back has little broken bits everywhere but none of the actual dreads have broken off, phew hahah xxx
Hey girl! I’m so sorry this happened. I’d say just grow everything out, no bleach, just let your hair be. It will grow back so healthy, dreads are a protective style and will restore your hair. Good luck girly ❤️🫶🏼

Aww that makes me feel better! Thank you for your feedback :) xx
Have you ever looked into a bleach wash if you are still dead set on bleaching? I think your hair still looks beautiful and we all live and learn lol.
Hey thanks so much for your comment :) I have tried a bleach wash in the past before I had dreads but I don't think it would get the roots light enough, I threw away all my bleach now I'm just going to go natural haha but thanks heaps for the idea :) xx
After watching an insane amount of bleach tutorials over the years it sounds like the bleach just finally did your hair in. As hard as it is I’d step away from the bleach altogether
Girl where are you? I miss you!! 🥺
I've missed you❣️ New video please 🤗
Aww, you can’t us bleach with the sun lightener or that’s what us 90’s kid knew it as. I wish the bottle told you. Well you know now and it wasn’t that bad of a lesson.
please give your hair a break. Care for your dreadlocks with moisture and leave in conditioner. please stop bleaching your hair. I'm so sorry for you, that really hurt me. I have dreads myself and care for them as described above. I can comb it up and re-dread it, the hair is fine if you just leave it alone :(
