I first died my hair in the December of 2021 , had never died it before always had tight 4c curls. Got it bleached very light in one session I’d say not platinum but very bright yellow like lemonade.  2nd time it was bleached was spring 2022 , 3rd time was summer 2022 and then last time I lightened the ends instead of a bleach in September 2022. Since then I haven’t had it colored bad I’ve been trying to repair damage I started noticing. I had it short so I never noticed but as it grew out I saw how the ends had seemed lifeless and I could feel the difference moving my hand from root to tip. After it grew to the length in the last photo I could see it looks so much more loose in the curls not the tight coils I’m used to. My hair is also getting more oily, and I notice a SIGNIFICANT difference in the curls on the back of my head vs front. I’d say the back is closer to 4c could be loose 4c or maybe tight 4b the front is 100% 4B now. I can finally grow my hair out after using a bunch of restoration (thx Cecred and The Ordinary) but will my curl pattern ever come back ??


TLDR: I bleached my virgin tight 4c hair then bleached it 4 times over the next year and now the back of my head is loose 4c/4b front is all 4b 

My 4c hair is 4b now and I don’t know if it’s permanent or if it’s recovering from bleach damage
