Chemical treatments such as perms, dyes, bleaches, and relaxers can dramatically improve the appearance of your hair, but they can also be harmful. Chemically damaged hair is common among women and the search for solutions often causes much frustration. While it may seem hopeless, chemically damaged hair can be repaired and prevented without having to sacrifice your unique style:

I think that you should wait some months before dyeing or doing anything to it. my hair use to be really unhealthy but I didn't shave it I simply got a trim and left it the color it was for about three months and I didn't put no heat on it and I used herbal essence frizz lotion ,got2b lotion for hair,olive oil spray , now I'm using mane tail which I highly recommend !.. now my hair is really healthy and I dyed it back to a nice color and I'm fine so I suggest just take care of it for some months not shave it or pay all this money to fix damaged hair when you can also smashed bananas are good for you hair.

I am a professional hairdresser and I am beggin you to please see a professional before you do anything. It is our job to tell you what and What NOT can be done with your dark hair. Dont use harsh products and dont try to do it your self. If cost is an issue see if you can do it slowly , like a partial foil every 6 -8 weeks. A foil job will look more natural and not give you solid black line between your natural and colored hair. Also for the most comlimenting look try going only 2 or 3 shades lighter and then go gradually lighter.
