please help

my name is nancy and around october of 2005 i got my hair frosted.  days after i smelled a burning.  i went back to the salon and she trimmed my hair and said she was sorry.  i since have had breakage still in the front (in my bang area) and still till this day it smell like something is burning.  sometimes when i blowdry my hair pieces still break off.  what am i to do.  i bought expensive shampoos and conditioners and also leave on conditioners from redkin, paul mitchell.  can anyone please offer any words of wisdom.  need your help in new york.  thanks nancyann

im so sorry. has happened to me too... but im stupid and do it to myself. repeatedly. she fried your hair. DONT BLOW DRY. baby it for awhile and i mean a long time. no heat products. good conditioners. stick with the expensive ones for awhile, but lord no more heat or it WILL keep breaking. try some vitamins, i just bought the hairboutiques Hair Topia to make mine healthier. Only the second day so not sure about the results, but even some cheap prenatal pills would be better than nothing.  ...... i just looked at the date, you posted this yesterday and had it frosted in october of 05? thats a long time for it to still be in such bad condition! how sucky. ... ... hmm... maybe call around to some salons (maybe even the same chick) and tell them the prob and ask for some deep conditioning treatments that might help? once a lady used a protien (k-pak i think it was called) treatment which helped LOADS, but then again sometimes those can be just as harmful.  best of luck

Wow !  Sorry is not enough for me I would make sure the hair dresser wouldn't do it to some one else.

Nancy, I feel your pain. You need to use some reconstructors (protein treatments) Nexxus emergencee works great, so does Redken deep fuel, Sebastian 2+1 or Joico K-pak reconstructor. I would try the Emergencee first. You need to used it with a heat cap, or in a sauna if you have access to one. Or just with a shower cap under a dryer. After the protein treatment make sure you deep condition or your hair will feel like straw. Do the protein treatment at least once a month. Don't do it every week because too much protein can have the opposite effect and end up in more breakage.
