Bleaching and toning has left my long hair (4" above waist)breaking off - I use Redken PPT Treatment and alternate between a moisturizing and reconstructor deep treatment once a week. I shampoo, condition, and blow dry straight 2-3 times a week. Is there any other products I could use that will aid in reducing breakage?PLEASE HELP - I'M DESPERATE - AND DO NOT WANT TO CUT MY HAIR I'VE SPENT YEARS GROWING!!!!!!!!11

Are you kidding? Get rid of the blow dryer! Blowing your hair straight is extremely damaging.I'd also consider going back to your original color, since a double process on long hair is asking for trouble.I'd deep-condition twice a week or more, and probably even sleep with it in. Are you using heat to help the conditioner along?Ally

Ally -Yes, I use a heating cap with conditioner(s). When I blow dry - I use the warm and cool settings. This is the only way my frizzy/kinky curly hair looks acceptable for business attire.
