No it's permanent, you need to grow it out or fill it %26amp; go darker. Lowlights is also an option. You have to fill with a gold tone before you color because you have removed the pigment when you bleached. Then put the desired color over your entire hair. Don't use ';box color'; it's unpredictable %26amp; contains metallics that can leave permanent lines in your hair if you change color products. Go to Sally's Beauty Supply they have more professional products %26amp; they can assist you in your purchase %26amp; the prices are better. Use good products not Pantene, Herbal Essence %26amp; Garnier they are silicone products. They make you hair nice at first but as the silicone builds up it locks out moisture your hair weakens %26amp; breaks. Use pro products they last longer because you use less so the extra expense is worth it. The shampoos don't contain a detergent lathering agent so it's weird at first because you are used to lather. Great specialty products are, Nioxxin, Joico K-Pak Reconstructor also Silk Results, Rusk has New Pro Elements Keratin. Nexxus has Humectruss %26amp; Keraphixx. Big Sexy has good general products. Take Biotin %26amp; Vitamin E.I Have Natural Black Hair. I Decided To Put Bleach Highlights In Today Now My Hair Is Dry And Breaking. Help?
Get a deep conditioning treatment, if you go to the drugstore you could try Neutrogena Triple Moisture deep recovery mask:

or go to the salon and ask for a deep conditioner from them which would be more pricey. You could also buy a serum if you go to the drugstore or Target try:

you could get the shampoo and conditioner as well, I like them very much, they are moisturizing and have no harsh chemicals and work well.





After using these products for awhile and getting your hair stronger you could dye your hair back to normal or if you must right away, just remember to moisturize like crazy and use the serum afterwards.
first of all, bleach strips your hair of EVERYTHING. of course it's dry and breaking!!! you need to use protein conditioners, deep conditioners, and leave in conditioners! you cannot use bleach and expect your hair to look great afterwards. it takes some time to get your hair back into a mangeable state. i suggest using products like aussie 3 minute deeep conditioner, v05 hot oil treatments, hask placenta, CHI leave in conditioner. etc etc!
The more chemicals you put on it the dryer it will be. You need a good conditioner like Biolage Conditioning Balm. Or the Extreme line by Redkin is very good. They have a product called Anti-Snap that helps put protein back in your hair and strengthen it. B/c black hair is very difficult to lift to a lighter shade the bleach probably got left on too long. I would not recommend coloring it again for awhile.
Whoops! I would say, don't take the chance to dye it again. Leave it how it is, and use a deep conditioner on it. Try Garnier Fructis.... I don't remember the name but its in a little green tub with an orange top. Do not use ANY heat on it and do NOT comb or brush it when its wet. A salon may be your only option.
Go to a hairdresser and have them help you, You should never try to highlight your own hair. Your hair is damage and needs professional help. There are reasons we have license to color hair!
