Definitely helped save my hair!

A little background - I was a double treated blonde for many years, you know that perpetually coppery light oily blonde? Anyway, I decided about four months ago that I wanted to grow out my base color and go into a more voluminous blonde. My hair was pretty fried, bad texture, frizzy all the time, and puffy strands. I like natural balayage/ombre but not as severe. My hair naturally lightens in the sun, so I try to lighten the ends as much as possible. Anyway, I've started with just subtle baby highlights on the top of the head (I have very thin and brittle hair, there's a lot of that) with 10 Volume Bleach and between the layers of foil I have a semi-permanent color of applied about an eighth. To mix up my scion a little. It wasn't perfect, but it worked well. (And it's still not where I want it, but closer!) By the way, the bottom of my hair that rarely sees the sun is probably level five to six, but the top of my head is level seven - my hair are quite brightly lightened in the sun. Anyway, before trying this Bond Angel product - I did a few things to prep my hair for coloring and to generally strengthen it because after a few months it really looks like complete crap. back so I think those things helped too.- I drastically reduced the amount of color I used on my hair over the course of a few months, only touching up the crown, just a mid tone and 10 volume for used the highlights.- I started using k-reenactor pak about once a week. I bought a new hair dryer that dries my hair faster thanks to better technology. , which reduced the heat I put on it. I forgot to mention that I have naturally very curly hair like Mariah Carey did in the 90's. I also bought Olaplex 3 and used it several times prior to this treatment - it's amazing! So today I decided to accentuate my whole head... Since the bottom section of my hair was virgin at the time, I already cut off all the double blonde parts. Although the crown still had some remnants of the double treated blonde and was more damaged than the underside. I've used this as directed with bleach 10 volumes on 3/4 of my head, 20 volumes right on my head since I last got to this part...I've let it sink in for a long time because 10 volumes takes time...I think it also lasted it long because I made large chunks of blonde underneath, maybe an hour with little or no heat. The top took less time to process and I painted over layer 8 between the foil to blend the base. I also worked the bleach up to the ends, which I haven't done in months because my hair usually breaks when I do this, but my ends looked pretty messy. However, I noticed very little hair loss when rinsing my hair out, my hair looks as healthy as it did before coloring. It is great! There is very little damage, a little around the hairline but I had that from the start. In fact, I think I would have done an even lighter blonde through my head if I knew it would protect my hair so well. I will try my best next time! I find this to be a very useful product. And contrary to what some reviews say, it lasts a while because you don't use that much of it in your bleach mix. I also went to their website and got instructions on how to use it with color - they also have instructions on how to mix it with keratin treatments and such. If you do your own hair and are struggling with breakage...I really think this product will help. Normally my hair feels like a gummy sponge after bleaching, like I do today. Feelings are normal - it flies off a little but I've had that before. I'm giving it five stars because I think it does what it says on the tin - just don't expect miracles. Btw I have really bad hair from taking supplements that make my hair grow faster and/or thicker and I have tons of baby hair that is sticking up all over not breaking. :)
