In todays toxic environment you have set an amazing example of self control and maturity. Thank you for showing us that even in face of trauma and disaster, we should extend grace to others. I am encouraged by your ability to see ability to see beyond yourself and do it so beautifully. ❤️
Some people don't get it, but the one thing I splurge on is my hair. I buy expensive products for haircare and I go to the salon and don't mind paying. So I get why this has been such a trauma for you. But stay strong. You're doing so well!
People don't understand that her hair is her income too. That's also a factor. Even if it wasn't a factor, I'd be pissed. These mistakes can cause permanent baldness if left long enough on the scalp. I've seen it
I still don't understand why she told you that you're going to go bald. You don't do that even if you think that's the case. It's completely unprofessional. Anyway, you look good girl! I can't believe you look this good after only 6 weeks! You're gonna be back in no time.❤
I think she panicked. That sounds like the kind of thing one thinks and doesn't say unless they've lost composure. The person who worked next to me had this happen when I was hairdresser and she freaked out and said similiar things in front of client. We had to give her a few minutes and let a couple other people finish the shampoo and start explaining to the client what had happened and what we were going to do. It's a very shocking situation to experience.
Thank you for the positivity! We’ll get there ♥️ And I suppose she had a melt down and wasn’t thinking straight? Because those words still haunt me to this day. They shouldn’t be said lightly.
Your hair looks so much better Heidi! Please don't stop making videos!!!! You're strong and you'll overcome this... you already look fabulous after only 6 weeks! You got this and we're with you! 💜
Transition to a balayage. It’s the best thing I ever did to my hair and it will look natural, healthy, still blonde, and you only need to do it 1-2 times a year.
I second this!! Deciding on balayage saves me sooo much money in the long run (because it's so much less damaging as a whole) AND I still look pretty much ash blonde. I love it. The growth also looks so natural that I can give it several months before having to touch it up, a factor that also saves my hair from even more unnecessary damage
Oh man, I wish 1-2 times a year. Love the grow-out but I get cranky when I start to see too much of my natural color. 😂 I’m never happy with my level either. 😩
Dear Heidi, you are so eloquent and kind. I had a situation 5 years go when visiting a salon for color( I had prev gone there and was happy) where the salon owner left the bleach (which was in foils ) too long on my hair. She was just yapping on and on...not even checking and because she did a great job the first time I had wasnt questioning it the way I should have. After she took me to use the sink I noticed she couldnt get the comb through my hair so she used a pick. I saw herstealthily going back and forth to the garbage with wads of white hair. She said nothing. I asked what volume she used ( I typically require 20) and she told me 40!!!! When I got home I saw pieces broken off...like yours all over my head. A half inch where she clearly overlapped. I easily lost one third of my hair. THe remainder of my hair was a fried mess. I was so traumatized I now color my hair (a copper) myself. Its devastating.
Two things for your consideration. To help with regrowth camouflage, color wow makes a powder in a blond shade that seems to work nicely to break up dark roots so check them out if you’re interested. Another thing that came to my mind, in 6 months or a year when you are ready to do color again, whoever does it will need to completely avoid overlapping on any of the previously lightened hair !! Whatever didn’t break of is still certainly weak…
Hi Heidi. I am so sorry that this happened to you and your gorgeous hair. I also used to colour and highlight my hair. I had the time and money to maintain the after care. In 2015, my hair broke off after getting highlights. My stylist didn't tell me and I only saw it after a few days. Luckily it wasn't on top of my head so nobody else noticed. I didn't do it again after that because I got pregnant in 2016 and with looking after a baby, it wasn't a priority. In December 2020 I had highlights again, but virgin hair. My hair Is naturally dark. It looked good etc. But I won't do it again because I don't have the time and money this time around to keep up with the maintenance. You mentioned that you don't know if you want to go brunette, I think you should. It will definitely suit you and will hide the hair that is growing. Please keep up with the hair care videos. I learned alot since watching your channel.❤ love from Cape Town South Africa.
Your a special person, genuinely kind-hearted, strong, beautiful inside and out. You’re an inspiration and this will help many people regardless of hair journey, friendships, life - how to deal with a huge loss. Wherever this leads you in life or on TH-cam etc. you’ve touched many and taught many a lot through this. - To stop and recognize that this CHANGED the hairdresser….your truly caring and a lovely person. - Everything you said came through 💯 and ❤. Take care of yourself, document what you can, we care about you and our thoughts are with you through this.
You’re a kind person and you’re setting a great example of how to treat others ( despite mistakes and imperfections) with love and respect. I wish others were more like you! Thank you for sharing your experience. You’re beautiful inside and out ❤
I can so relate to this. Where I live in Michigan, you have to pay for the service even if it ruined your hair.They offer to fix it, but typically only with the same stylist, which for me is frightening. I wouldn't want the same stylist who didn't know how to do it initially to attempt to repair it. You wouldn't know you have that damage there, you've managed to disguise it very well. Please keep us updated!
Do not stop making videos. This is just another chapter take us on your journey and show us videos of how you care for your hair now what you’re doing and just the progress and do more videos on the K 18 line any other lines that you like this is just a new chapter.
wow your empathy and outlook on life is so inspiring. Love it. Stay strong. your energy is empowering ❤❤❤FYI I had similar experience with my professional hairdressers and after that horrible hair burn she did on me I learned to bleach my own hair and I haven’t trust any hairdresser ever again. Now I have been bleaching my own hair for the last 5 years and I love the results. plus I get to use my creativity on my hair. Yep no one will care about my hair as much as I do. Thank you for the video ❤❤❤
You have done a wonderful job trying to repair your hair. I understand the trauma felt and you are so gracious in dealing with this. Your practical approach and calm manner is inspiring. Good luck for your hair journey forward. ❤
Jesteś bardzo dzielną i silną kobietą 💪😊 wszystko w życiu dzieje się po coś.... Oglądam twoje filmy i dostałam dużo fajnych inspiracji ❤ teraz, to po prostu nowy rozdział tego kanału nie warto z niego rezygnować. Ja kiedyś też miałam tak popalone moje blond włosy i dałabym wszystko żeby wtedy obejrzeć twoje porady. Musiałam radzić sobie sama. Ścięłam włosy i przyciemniłam. Odrosły , a dziś znów jestem blondynką 😊💪 twoje włosy też znów będą piękne, a przy okazji pomożesz swoimi radami wielu kobietom które też to spotkało. Pozdrawiam i życzę dużo pozytywnego myślenia ❤ Magda.
This is exactly what happened to me! It's been 3 months and it's slowly growing back, lots of TLC, k18, the pureology strength cure entire line and olaplex 3 treatments, leave in Moroccan oil on mids & ends after washing and its slowly healing. I use bed head wax stick to stick down the broken bits. All the best :)
So very sorry to hear you are going through this. It is psychologically very painful.I have always appreciated your generous sharing and knowledgable information with us. It is one of the most painful situations to go through. It is bad enough when we ourselves make a mistake and damage our hair. But so much more painful when someone else is responsible. I know ,I lost my waste length hair to a pixie cut when I was a teenager. I was too young to know what to do about it. And it haunts me to this day. It had to do with a bleach pack and Henna. Stay positive. If anyone can bring it back you can.
Hi Pamela, I sighed by the end of your comment. So sorry for the loss of your waste length hair. 💔 And thank you for empowering me with your encouraging words.
Sending you so much love! Maybe you could do more fashion/style/makeup type videos while you are dealing with your hair growing out. So sorry this happened to you, definitely sharing the journey will help so many people. You are so beautiful inside and out no matter what is going on with your hair! Love you❤
Heidi you have treated this "nightmare" in the most Admiral and dignified way. You are an Amazing, forgiving lady and I have so must respect for you. You are beautiful and you will look Stunning with your natural colour, as you do with your blonde hair.
You’re an angel and I’m so sorry this happened. This has happened to me quite a few times and I continue to bleach my hair. Only time heals. The good thing is that your hair is still growing at a normal average rate. That’s great news. I did what you did and stayed focused on healing my hair. I think it’s healthier for body and mind. My Dermatologist recommended Biotin vitamins and protein hair treatments. I also started eating more protein. I’m a pescatarian. My hair grew back out healthier than before. I used Aphogee protein treatments that absolutely helped and repaired my hair. As long as I have hair I’ll continue to bleach it. I love my long hair with highlights. This too shall pass. Really. We love your videos we can All learn from your journey because it’s real and it happens. You are teaching a valuable learning lesson that truly transfers to other unfortunate situations. That is to stay focused on the positive, learning and healing. Amor y Paz desde California ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Generally speaking highlift color is more gentle than bleach but the high ammonia and higher peroxide can also be risky near broken hair. The regrowth that you currently have could be managed with a 9.1 with 30 vol in Majirel. I would have a hairstylist apply it in the most careful way possible and apply Vaseline to your middle areas to form a barrier. You would need to get the color soon or otherwise your regrowth is out of the area that lifts easier. It will soften the regrowth and I would leave the rest as it is, just some toning mousse so it can grow further. You got this
Wow, I never thought about the timing. But it’s true that there’s that first few inches that lift easier. Seems like I may need to make a decision sooner than I initially thought. Thank you for bringing this up Tim. I will keep it in mind. ♥️
Don't stop making videos! I love your personaloty and you have helped me to understand how ti have a healthy hair! Your hair looks fine but yes it takes a year to fully achieve a healthy hair again but I followed your advice so you know how you should do it! ❤
Dear Heidi I’m glad to see you back and your hair is looking good. I have no doubt you will get it back to the condition it was before. I commented on your last video that I went through a similar experience but I still have bald areas. I used to look after my hair with good products to keep what hair I have in the best condition which is why I watched your videos and I have always found your reviews spot on. During a difficult time I stopped looking after my hair it’s in bad condition now and it shows how thin my hair is. I just wanted to say you have inspired me to start looking after my hair again and I am literally waiting on a large delivery of my favourite Kérastase products. I’m going to get my hair in the best condition I can I know it will help. I hope you will keep making videos of your journey and the things you have found helpful and I know that your videos will help other people too. Best wishes and thanks for the inspiration 😘
I'm so sad to see and hear this. We put out trust in other's to take care of our hair, and spend so much time and money to keep it healthy. 2 day's ago 1 famous hairdressers ruined my hair wich I have been treating with prp and the most precious care. He brushed it out all out ...my hair was all over the place. I could only cry and cry. Worst of all, he says it's not his fault but my hair itself and charged a big amount. I'm upset and I will NEVER trust someone again with my hair. I just keep it to myself and try to stay " happy" and hopefully my hair grows back. I wish you all the best with your hair. You're still beautiful.❤
Wow😳 just Wow! Your story is shocking! How could he blame you and charge you while you were crying? I hug you Lynn. You poor thing! 💔 You must be feeling awful 😢 We’re in this together from a distance! And we’ll get our hair healthy again. ♥️💪🏻
You are such an amazing person Heidi. You have handled this situation with such grace even though it was completely devastating. Sending you much love as you continue the journey. p.s. I am going to my long time hairdresser this morning for a touch up on my highlights☺️ Thinking of you❤️
Please…! Devastating applies when you loose someone you love or if you are dying not with hair breakage… I had my fair share of hair breakage/loss so I know how distressing it can be and how it can make you so self conscious, but this is in no way devastating.
If you use Demi permanent hair dye is not damagin to the hair. Going dark for a while would be good for you so your hair can heal. You can use Demi permanent to fill the hair.
Hola Heidi, no dejes de subir contenido, me gustaria ver como tu cabello se sigue recuperando poco a poco. Te envío un abrazo apretado desde Uruguay ❤❤❤
Heidi where do I start 🤗 you are one kind hearted/ empathetic selfless soul,,,after all you went through you still stay the professional understandably lady,,showing kindness to the hairdresser takes a special kind of person Heidi ❤ and still you are thinking of others aside yourself going through something similar,,,,i hope you get the comfort from the hair doctor and please stay positive and hope you don't ever leave us you tube family 🥰i have learned a lot from you and owe a lot to you please take care and look after yourself Heidi ❤lou
Heidi you are so amazing and so lovely. You are pure class all the way handling this horrible ordeal like a champ and showing true strength, caring and forgiveness! You are the lady we all strive to be, well done sweetie. You should try to get k18 to help sponsor your recovery and use your situation as marketing and how awesome their products are. Sometimes when tragedy strikes it opens other doors. You have to continue with your amazing channel, videos and content. You are so worthwhile in every way and again show how amazing you really are! Love you girl! Also you look gorgeous as always! 😘
Love you too Daphne! Such a beautiful name by the way ♥️ I’m so grateful for your positive point of view. I chose to believe that good can come from the shadows too and will 🙏🏻 Hope you have an amazing day 😃
@@heidiguttenberg I’m truly hoping you become the face of k18. It’s such a blessed company and product, bless them really! They deserve someone like you on that amazing team! 😘 You are always gorgeous inside and out, truly so proud of you! ❤️
The length of your hair actually looks really good! Had you not showed us the breakage, i would not have been able to tell your hair was damaged. So all the treatments are working and it looks so much better than it did! I was absolutely devastated when a trusted hairdresser chopped 6 inches off my hair. I cried off and on for weeks. Glad you will be taking us along for yiur recovery journey. Together we will likely learn so much ! ❤
Six inches❓ That is a lot to cut off without permission. It has happened to all of us. I too had a trusted long term hairdresser. Had gone in for a trim. His phone rang and he answered it while continuing to cut my hair. Well he got distracted and CHOP. Five inches gone. I yelped loudly. He looked, hung up the phone and proceeded to say that I really needed more than a trim anyway. What the f**k? I was not nice. I was visibly upset and told him it was so unprofessional for him to take a call and continue to cut my hair. I hated the haircut. HATED IT. My hair has always been long. It was now dusting my shoulders. I told him that the phone call cost him his fee. It took 3 years to grow back to the original length. I know cut my own hair.
I’m so sorry that happened to you Heidi. It sounds like a nightmare (I actually often have dreams about horrible things happening to my hair!) You’ve been my hair inspiration a few years and your hair still looks beautiful so you’ve definitely been doing all the right things to help repair your hair. Remember that every single day it will get a little better. 😊 I’m sure that You Tubing your hair recovery journey will be a huge help to lots people going through similar experiences so keep doing what you do! X
Thank you so much 😊 for your empathy and for the encouragement ♥️ How lucky am I that you’ve been watching for years ?! 🥹🫶 🙏🏻 That’s what my hubby says to me: it only gets better from here. 🤗
My hair also got fried off underneath so I was so insecure about having it up, it was about two inches and now it’s past my shoulders. Thank God it grows back after chemical damage! It’s still so devastating. Im so glad you didn’t go bald, it still looks okay! It will heal. You’re still beautiful. ❤️
Hairstylist here. I am 99.9% sure the reason it broke off was overlapping. So she placed bleach over your previous highlights on that section on the top that she fully bleached instead of highlighted. She MIGHT have left it on too long, but even if she had left it for the proper processing time, the hair that had the bleach applied on top of your previous highlights still would have been severely damaged. I am sure, as you said, that she learned a valuable lesson. I’m so sorry this happened to you.
I'm so sorry for that. I really admire the way you handled it, if shows a classy and polite person. I remember from a previous video of yours that you had tried Kerastase therapiste, would it help you at this stage? Whatever treatment you are currently following, I wish you the best. I am really interested in following your progress. We usually see therapeutic products used on hair that is already perfect. It makes more sense to see them when there is real need and see if they really work. Of course, I wish you hadn't gone through this. I wish you the best and I hope the tiny progress you see every day, makes you smile. It will be behind you before you know. Greetings from Greece ❤
You seem to be such a lovely human being. Hearing you say what approach you took towards that freighting situation, says alot about you as a person. I hope your hair grows fast so that you can feel much better. I really enjoy watching your videos. Because of you, I purchased k18, tomorrow will be second time using it. Be well.
Honestly, with the way you style it, it is not noticeable really whatsoever. At least on video like this. I hope you always keep making videos, situations like this only make you more relatable and educational for those of us who also go through this kind of thing, as a stylist or a badass angel. Thank you for sharing your journey, you're beautiful inside and out. I think you're handling this like a badass angel all around.
Heidi eres tan amorosa y generosa que aún en estas semanas difíciles, compartes con nosotr@s. Con el paso del tiempo tu pelo crecerá y esto solo quedará como un mal recuerdo. Celebro tu decisión de no usar más bleach, por más que nos encante ser rubias es importante concientizarnos lo delicado que es y más cuando llevamos años sobreprocesando nuestro pelo. Escuchar lo que te pasó me partió el corazón pero a la vez admiro tu bondad y resiliencia. Te queremos ❤❤❤❤
Dear Heidi, you are the most badass angel😊 You will get through this, and my God you will be even stronger. This experience, as horrible as it is now, will allow you to know your hair even better. Who else could come back from this, then you. Love your videos. Keep going❤
Heidi you are beautiful inside out ❤ I can feel your pain this experience was traumatic. I hope you feel better soon❤ What matters the most is your health ✨️ No one is going to notice the hair damage you shine girl 🎉
You are an amazing person Heidi! For now I think you should continue to do Olaplex and k18 treatment plus hydration/nutrition hair mask to restore your hair. If you decide to color,,I suggest too you use Demi hair-color only. Shade EQ Demi hair-color is a great hair-color.
Hi Heidi, you dealt with this accident in a very smart way, glad you didn't keep resentment and managed to stay positive. Your hair and your "bar" looks very nice! 😊
Wow Heidi , you are a amazing person. I love your videos and you. Your reaction are so great to the hairdresser. You are right ,go forward !!!💪Wish you a good recovery and all the best from Switzerland . ❤
I've probably mentioned this before, i have alopecia and it falls out at the front and top. I use a wig when this happens. I've also got a topper that covers pretty well but im not a fan of the clips. I have so much respect for you that you didn't get angry with her. I remember getting all my hair cut off by a very inexperienced hairdresser and i wasn't proud of my reaction.
We all do the best we can! Nobody is perfect, myself included. Yes, I remember you because Alopecia runs in my family and although I only got a mild case of alopecia areata, I know people with alopecia that are close to me. They are strong 💪🏻 and resilient. ♥️ I’d looove a topper at least to go out every now and then until it grows.
I would recommend a darker toner to smudge the root down and go for a more bayalaged look. You could get lowlights pulled through the ends too to break it up and once your hair is a but healthier you can add the blonde around your face to feel blonde still. Keep in mind high lift isn't as damaging but is still quiet damaging . Toner is your best bet (going a bit darker )
I love your positive attitude about this situation. I am glad that you were able to prevent it from completely falling out and are being careful about deciding your next step. I hope the doctor can give you good, helpful advice on how to navigate this challenging situation.
Saludos Heidi. Tu cabellos va a crecer y seguro que lo hará de la forma más elegante. Me va a dar mucho gusto ver cómo se va recuperando y las etapas por las que pasa.
You are very mature and handled the situation so well. I'm a hairstylist and believe me when I say it's a stylist worst nightmare. I feel like you'll be able to get through this ! ❤
No dejes los videos! Ahora más que nunca puedes ayudar y dar testimonio. Y además si pasas a un tono más oscuro estarás bellísima, te resaltará los ojos y tú hermosa piel! Ánimo!
I’m a cosmetology student and unfortunately this happens if you overlap bleach! I would suggest doing low light with shade 7 and 8 using demi permanent on the root. Don’t attempt doing that yourself just search for a good hair salon near you and ask for diffused teasy lowlights. I would do that in 2-3 months from now and continue doing your k18 and lots of care in the meantime. It’s already looking better now and I can tell you’re on the right track but I wouldn’t do any bleach for at least 6 months from now. You’re so brave for putting yourself out here and telling your story hopefully this will help a lot of people who maybe dealing with this situation 💓💓
This happened to me in my late twenties. She was doing a root touch-up on me. I lost a lot of hair all over, throughout my entire head. She overlapped the bleach. I was devastated. They didn’t charge me but they also did not compensate me either. I took the salon owner to small claims court and won. ** Just curious, what was the high-lift color that you used on the side that you showed?
Im so sorry You’re going through this. I had the same thing happen to me but my hair is not growing anymore 😢 the broken parts on the upper hair just stays the same. No change at the moment and I really don’t know what to do anymore :(
Dear Heidi, bless your good heart. You and even your hair still look beautiful. And it will only get better. You see a lack of bad intentions because that's how you are, without any wish to cause harm to anyone. And in fact, likely she had none. Berating her would only have increased the suffering when shouldn't we all want to minimize suffering and as you say support growth. But though you are such a good person, motivated to do good, you are rational!! even in such an emotional situation. It would seem your every decision was rationally made after logical analysis. You make the world a better place. In spite of what you're dealing with, you did all the right things, imo. Take care sweet girl. xo
We could listen to you talk about anything. It must not be only haircare, you can also do skin care, talk about how you surpass bad experiences, show us Argentina. We will stick to you, do not give up!
Heidi, you are such a kind soul. I can sense the pain you’ve been through. I really feel for you. 😔 Your attitude about how to handle things (like anger) says a lot about you. Beautiful inside and out with a gentle heart. I do wish the salon would have provided K18 products for you for free. It would have been the right thing to do. I’m sure that this experience will help teach you (and all of us if you are willing to share your experiences) invaluable info about how to repair hair. I pray for the healing of your hair and for fast growth! But not just for your hair, but for your heart, as this has been very traumatic. I hate to write what I’m going to next but I feel I should just to share info since your channel here is mainly about hair care… If your TH-cam channel is your main way of making money you technically could have sued the salon that messed up your hair. I’m not suggesting you do this, just saying that it is an option. But I do know that we all make mistakes too… 🤷🏼♀️ I also wanted to ask if there’s any skincare you recommend, as you have beautiful skin!
Sorry this happened I know how it feels same happened to mine I have same dark natural as you bleached for years no problems at all a year ago had whiter highlights and she did a bleach bath and completely ruined my hair 😢very traumatic had breakage at root like yours but also snapped hair all way down thought was going to be bald. Got to be honest even a year later my hairs still so damaged used to break every single day no matter how much olaplex and k18 I tried and still do everything to save it 😢think need a bigger cut I’m so paranoid of my hair now hate having the hair dresser or anyone touching it I used to have thick long hair now it’s a fried mess. root breakage only just above my ears now looks terrible like you say when windy etc can’t even go darker as that would mean dying over my snapped damaged lengths 😢 stay strong keep posting your helping others - your hair looks lots better already amd at least breakage just at top not everywhere don’t think you need a dr you’ll be wasting money in desperation trust me I know wasted so much money, maybe I need a head dr now as I’m a nutcase stressing over my hair lol 😂 💜
Your story is just 💔 Thank you for taking the time to share it with me. I hope we both get better soon. I have this feeling that bleach is being overused as if there were no risks or consequences like this. Well, we’ll be bouncing back soon! ♥️😀
I had a similar thing happen. New hairdresser bleached my hair super pale and the condition was poor. So I co washed instead of shampooed for a year and used a hair gloss to tint it to a mid blonde which also blended in the roots. After a year I went to a good salon and got it colour corrected but I sometimes wonder if just going darker (I am a natural blonde with now grey roots at the crown) and using semi permanent colour myself is the way forward. DIY colour and even highlights seems to work just fine for some and you can get the result your really want.
You can tell it’s a lot healthier, you handled your visit at the salon very classy & well too. Ask the doctor about virtue flourish line and the new kerastase nutritive serum and rich mask 😇🫶🏻
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 I am experimenting with color on healthy areas as I showed you in the video and reading formulas that work for others helps so much!
Please keep us updated. And we are praying for you. I know that sounds overly dramatic. But I am serious. Unless this has happened to you. People have no idea how deeply painful this is emotionally. And one of the blessings is you have and know about the amazing tools that are available to you. Like you said K18 spray, K18 mask, the best conditioners and olaplaex #3. I hope the hair Doctor will have valuable useful advice on how you should proceed. Please let us know your progress. I have a feeling you will be able to help a lot of people on your journey to repair your hair. And I am glad you decided not to cut it off. I hope you include us in this journey. We care deeply about you. And appreciate all the knowledge you have shared with us.
Hola Heidi espero que estés mucho mejor. Hace unos cuantos años atrás a mi tmb me quemaron el cabello con una decoloración. Pase de tenerlo largo por la cadera a llevarlo por encima de los hombros y lo peor de todo esto es que se veía achicharrado. En su entonces no existía siquiera olaplex , pero la línea que me ayudó a recuperarlo nutrirlo h darle movimiento fue la Absolut Repair de L’Oréal. La línea original no gold quinoa. Claramente en ese entonces decidí ya no aportarle más color ni decoloración en el salón. Sustitui el acondicionador por la mascarilla de loreal y 2 veces por semana me hacía mi baño de crema dejándolo mínimo una hora . Otro baños de crema maravillosos son los kerastase ( un antes y un después) . A este punto ya trataba de no estilizar mi cabello ,ni aportarle calor y a los meses fue mejorando muchísimo. Sé que es frustrante y triste el proceso pero se puede lograr . Y luego de 2 años de hacerle nada pude intentar el cabello rubio nuevamente y sin problemas. Hoy en día existen varios productos más para ayudarnos en estos casos como olaplex que es buenísimo . Te recomiendo tomar vitaminas L cistina, biotina, b6 algún complejo vitamínico que te ayude tmb por dentro . Te mando un abrazo muy fuerte y ánimos que todo se puede mejorar ❤ No pierdas la fe
Hola Johanna! Que tremendo! Debías sentirte una persona totalmente distinta y encima sin haber deseado ese cambio 💔Gracias por compartir tus consejos y por el apoyo! ♥️
You are beautiful... inside and out! Consider going brunette. It would be healthier for your hair and would probably look great with your skin tone and eye color. Please keep your channel! Love it! ❤️
Sending so much love to you!!! 🖤 I'm sorry this happened to you xxxx if it makes you feel any better I'm in the same boat with the damage 😢 today i went to a hair salon for the first time in years and omg the girl doing my hair was SO ROUGH with me 😢 felt like she was trying to scalp me, she was tugging that hard. It was so painful and my hair turned out so orange and damaged. A waste of $500 and it was so fried and such a gross colour that i immediately bought a colour mask and dyed it semi permanent back to black. I will never trust anyone else with my hair ever again 😅 i don't think the girl even used any conditioner on my hair 😢
Sounds like my old hairdresser haha. I swear she was a sadist or something. No matter how many times I flinched/pulled away and said it hurt she continued ripping my bleached hair and dragging her nails on my sensitive scalp with a big grin on her face. It was awful lol
If you ever need help getting the k18 please let me know! My best friend is a hairdresser and gets me the biggest bottle (5oz) for 60 dollars! Your reviews have really helped me so if I can help in any way please let me know!
Dale Heidi💓! toda la mejor de las energías para la cita con el DR. y que tenga todo solución🙏...pienso que todo es por algo y tal vez esto que te sucedió pueda ser una oportunidad de abrir otras oportunidades de desarrollo de tu Canal TH-cam. es buena idea de documentar lo que te sucede y que tal vez ya te conviertas en una experta en Cuidado y Regeneración capilar. De verdad te deseo lo mejor y que siga tu canal como siempre ayudandonos a tomar la mejor decisión siempre al momento de comprar. Besos y cariños desde NZ 🤗😉😘
Maybe this is a good time to reset and try something different with your hair in terms of color maybe give it a rest for a while and Blendon some low lights to avoid any additional bleaching damage?
It didn't show if you didn't mention it, the rest of your hair is intact, it will need some time for the breakage to regrow. Please don't retired from TH-cam and keep us updated. I recommend a keratin treatment for the rest of your hair it will help with the frizz, a toner will fix the hair color, and if you need to go blonde, you have to use a highlift dye as soon as possible, coz ur roots are still short enough so the heat of ur scalp can help with lift.❤❤❤❤.
Hey Heidi! I am experiencing the same traumatic situation however, I was curious what was your hair condition in week 6 or 12? I didn’t see that you mentioned you know when you wash it it’s all so fragile you cannot comb or touch, but is it the same weak hair on week six just like in the first days?

In todays toxic environment you have set an amazing example of self control and maturity. Thank you for showing us that even in face of trauma and disaster, we should extend grace to others. I am encouraged by your ability to see ability to see beyond yourself and do it so beautifully. ❤️
Awww Cassy ♥️ I’m so moved by your comment. You see me way better than I see myself. Thank you for being here 🙏🏻
Some people don't get it, but the one thing I splurge on is my hair. I buy expensive products for haircare and I go to the salon and don't mind paying. So I get why this has been such a trauma for you. But stay strong. You're doing so well!
Same here !!!❤❤❤❤
People don't understand that her hair is her income too. That's also a factor.
Even if it wasn't a factor, I'd be pissed. These mistakes can cause permanent baldness if left long enough on the scalp. I've seen it
But to sad if even this high rated salons ruin the hair. Here in Belgium they are after your money...yo sad. Not even worth the name hairdresser 😢
I still don't understand why she told you that you're going to go bald. You don't do that even if you think that's the case. It's completely unprofessional.
Anyway, you look good girl! I can't believe you look this good after only 6 weeks! You're gonna be back in no time.❤
I think she panicked. That sounds like the kind of thing one thinks and doesn't say unless they've lost composure. The person who worked next to me had this happen when I was hairdresser and she freaked out and said similiar things in front of client. We had to give her a few minutes and let a couple other people finish the shampoo and start explaining to the client what had happened and what we were going to do. It's a very shocking situation to experience.
Thank you for the positivity! We’ll get there ♥️ And I suppose she had a melt down and wasn’t thinking straight? Because those words still haunt me to this day. They shouldn’t be said lightly.
Your hair looks so much better Heidi! Please don't stop making videos!!!! You're strong and you'll overcome this... you already look fabulous after only 6 weeks! You got this and we're with you! 💜
Thank you so much 🥹 You have no idea how much this comment helps ♥️
Transition to a balayage. It’s the best thing I ever did to my hair and it will look natural, healthy, still blonde, and you only need to do it 1-2 times a year.
I second this!! Deciding on balayage saves me sooo much money in the long run (because it's so much less damaging as a whole) AND I still look pretty much ash blonde. I love it. The growth also looks so natural that I can give it several months before having to touch it up, a factor that also saves my hair from even more unnecessary damage
Great idea
If you have white hair you need more frequent touch ups though.
Oh man, I wish 1-2 times a year. Love the grow-out but I get cranky when I start to see too much of my natural color. 😂 I’m never happy with my level either. 😩
Dear Heidi, you are so eloquent and kind. I had a situation 5 years go when visiting a salon for color( I had prev gone there and was happy) where the salon owner left the bleach (which was in foils ) too long on my hair. She was just yapping on and on...not even checking and because she did a great job the first time I had wasnt questioning it the way I should have. After she took me to use the sink I noticed she couldnt get the comb through my hair so she used a pick. I saw herstealthily going back and forth to the garbage with wads of white hair. She said nothing. I asked what volume she used ( I typically require 20) and she told me 40!!!! When I got home I saw pieces broken off...like yours all over my head. A half inch where she clearly overlapped. I easily lost one third of my hair. THe remainder of my hair was a fried mess. I was so traumatized I now color my hair (a copper) myself. Its devastating.
Two things for your consideration.
To help with regrowth camouflage, color wow makes a powder in a blond shade that seems to work nicely to break up dark roots so check them out if you’re interested. Another thing that came to my mind, in 6 months or a year when you are ready to do color again, whoever does it will need to completely avoid overlapping on any of the previously lightened hair !! Whatever didn’t break of is still certainly weak…
💯 Thank you so much Donna ♥️
Hi Heidi. I am so sorry that this happened to you and your gorgeous hair. I also used to colour and highlight my hair. I had the time and money to maintain the after care. In 2015, my hair broke off after getting highlights. My stylist didn't tell me and I only saw it after a few days. Luckily it wasn't on top of my head so nobody else noticed. I didn't do it again after that because I got pregnant in 2016 and with looking after a baby, it wasn't a priority. In December 2020 I had highlights again, but virgin hair. My hair Is naturally dark. It looked good etc. But I won't do it again because I don't have the time and money this time around to keep up with the maintenance. You mentioned that you don't know if you want to go brunette, I think you should. It will definitely suit you and will hide the hair that is growing. Please keep up with the hair care videos. I learned alot since watching your channel.❤ love from Cape Town South Africa.
Your a special person, genuinely kind-hearted, strong, beautiful inside and out. You’re an inspiration and this will help many people regardless of hair journey, friendships, life - how to deal with a huge loss. Wherever this leads you in life or on TH-cam etc. you’ve touched many and taught many a lot through this.
- To stop and recognize that this CHANGED the hairdresser….your truly caring and a lovely person. -
Everything you said came through 💯 and ❤.
Take care of yourself, document what you can, we care about you and our thoughts are with you through this.
You’re a kind person and you’re setting a great example of how to treat others ( despite mistakes and imperfections) with love and respect. I wish others were more like you! Thank you for sharing your experience. You’re beautiful inside and out ❤
And so are you ♥️
I can so relate to this. Where I live in Michigan, you have to pay for the service even if it ruined your hair.They offer to fix it, but typically only with the same stylist, which for me is frightening. I wouldn't want the same stylist who didn't know how to do it initially to attempt to repair it. You wouldn't know you have that damage there, you've managed to disguise it very well. Please keep us updated!
I agree with you! Here’s an update th-cam.com/video/tXcJJOtIExU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1H3u121KPCTakrL3
Do not stop making videos. This is just another chapter take us on your journey and show us videos of how you care for your hair now what you’re doing and just the progress and do more videos on the K 18 line any other lines that you like this is just a new chapter.
wow your empathy and outlook on life is so inspiring. Love it. Stay strong. your energy is empowering ❤❤❤FYI I had similar experience with my professional hairdressers and after that horrible hair burn she did on me I learned to bleach my own hair and I haven’t trust any hairdresser ever again. Now I have been bleaching my own hair for the last 5 years and I love the results. plus I get to use my creativity on my hair. Yep no one will care about my hair as much as I do. Thank you for the video ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🥰 I agree! I’m doing it myself too!
Keep on going sweetie. You are a very humble person and God will provide with whatever you need. ❤
Thank you so much Angela ♥️ 🙏🏻
You have done a wonderful job trying to repair your hair. I understand the trauma felt and you are so gracious in dealing with this. Your practical approach and calm manner is inspiring. Good luck for your hair journey forward. ❤
Thanks so much for your empathy Mandy! Such a silly way to get traumatized 🫤but at least it’s getting better every day ❤️
Jesteś bardzo dzielną i silną kobietą 💪😊 wszystko w życiu dzieje się po coś.... Oglądam twoje filmy i dostałam dużo fajnych inspiracji ❤ teraz, to po prostu nowy rozdział tego kanału nie warto z niego rezygnować. Ja kiedyś też miałam tak popalone moje blond włosy i dałabym wszystko żeby wtedy obejrzeć twoje porady. Musiałam radzić sobie sama. Ścięłam włosy i przyciemniłam. Odrosły , a dziś znów jestem blondynką 😊💪 twoje włosy też znów będą piękne, a przy okazji pomożesz swoimi radami wielu kobietom które też to spotkało. Pozdrawiam i życzę dużo pozytywnego myślenia ❤ Magda.
Greatest YT community ever!!! And it's all because of you! Your strength and kindness are contagious. Love you!
Love you more Chechuuu ♥️♥️♥️
This is exactly what happened to me! It's been 3 months and it's slowly growing back, lots of TLC, k18, the pureology strength cure entire line and olaplex 3 treatments, leave in Moroccan oil on mids & ends after washing and its slowly healing. I use bed head wax stick to stick down the broken bits. All the best :)
Sorry to hear your story but it also gives me hope! Thanks the tips!
@@heidiguttenberg you're so welcome ❤️
So very sorry to hear you are going through this. It is psychologically very painful.I have always appreciated your generous sharing and knowledgable information with us. It is one of the most painful situations to go through. It is bad enough when we ourselves make a mistake and damage our hair. But so much more painful when someone else is responsible. I know ,I lost my waste length hair to a pixie cut when I was a teenager. I was too young to know what to do about it. And it haunts me to this day. It had to do with a bleach pack and Henna. Stay positive. If anyone can bring it back you can.
Hi Pamela, I sighed by the end of your comment. So sorry for the loss of your waste length hair. 💔 And thank you for empowering me with your encouraging words.
Wow! As I sat down to watch this I am emptying my K18 for my monthly hair treat. It’s miracle stuff. I’m glad your hair and spirit is healing
Thank you so much!
Sending you so much love! Maybe you could do more fashion/style/makeup type videos while you are dealing with your hair growing out. So sorry this happened to you, definitely sharing the journey will help so many people. You are so beautiful inside and out no matter what is going on with your hair! Love you❤
Heidi you have treated this "nightmare" in the most Admiral and dignified way. You are an Amazing, forgiving lady and I have so must respect for you. You are beautiful and you will look Stunning with your natural colour, as you do with your blonde hair.
Thank you so much Michelle! You’re so sweet and elegant with your words ♥️
Wow. So brave to share this. So glad that your hair is growing back. Thank god it wasn’t all your hair.
Sending you lots of love.
Still beautiful xx
Thanks Katy! ♥️
You’re an angel and I’m so sorry this happened. This has happened to me quite a few times and I continue to bleach my hair. Only time heals. The good thing is that your hair is still growing at a normal average rate. That’s great news. I did what you did and stayed focused on healing my hair. I think it’s healthier for body and mind. My Dermatologist recommended Biotin vitamins and protein hair treatments. I also started eating more protein. I’m a pescatarian. My hair grew back out healthier than before. I used Aphogee protein treatments that absolutely helped and repaired my hair. As long as I have hair I’ll continue to bleach it. I love my long hair with highlights. This too shall pass. Really. We love your videos we can All learn from your journey because it’s real and it happens. You are teaching a valuable learning lesson that truly transfers to other unfortunate situations. That is to stay focused on the positive, learning and healing. Amor y Paz desde California ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gracias 🙏🏻 Such wise words. I can tell you genuinely want me to get better and keep moving forward. Thank you for your tips and kindness ♥️
Loved your Video we need more people like you 🫶🏽👍🏽👍🏽💕🌼💕
So sweet of you ❤️🥰
Take hair vitamins stick with just K18 mainly let the hair rest will bounce back in no time, you're strong and beautiful x
Thanks Andrew! I think so two! We’ll get there ❤
Generally speaking highlift color is more gentle than bleach but the high ammonia and higher peroxide can also be risky near broken hair.
The regrowth that you currently have could be managed with a 9.1 with 30 vol in Majirel. I would have a hairstylist apply it in the most careful way possible and apply Vaseline to your middle areas to form a barrier. You would need to get the color soon or otherwise your regrowth is out of the area that lifts easier. It will soften the regrowth and I would leave the rest as it is, just some toning mousse so it can grow further. You got this
Wow, I never thought about the timing. But it’s true that there’s that first few inches that lift easier. Seems like I may need to make a decision sooner than I initially thought. Thank you for bringing this up Tim. I will keep it in mind. ♥️
Ah, love, you are beautiful inside and out. This is another example of that. Your story is going to help so many others. ❤
Thank you so much Judy Darling ❤
Don't stop making videos! I love your personaloty and you have helped me to understand how ti have a healthy hair! Your hair looks fine but yes it takes a year to fully achieve a healthy hair again but I followed your advice so you know how you should do it! ❤
Dear Heidi I’m glad to see you back and your hair is looking good. I have no doubt you will get it back to the condition it was before. I commented on your last video that I went through a similar experience but I still have bald areas. I used to look after my hair with good products to keep what hair I have in the best condition which is why I watched your videos and I have always found your reviews spot on. During a difficult time I stopped looking after my hair it’s in bad condition now and it shows how thin my hair is. I just wanted to say you have inspired me to start looking after my hair again and I am literally waiting on a large delivery of my favourite Kérastase products. I’m going to get my hair in the best condition I can I know it will help. I hope you will keep making videos of your journey and the things you have found helpful and I know that your videos will help other people too. Best wishes and thanks for the inspiration 😘
I'm so sad to see and hear this. We put out trust in other's to take care of our hair, and spend so much time and money to keep it healthy. 2 day's ago 1 famous hairdressers ruined my hair wich I have been treating with prp and the most precious care. He brushed it out all out ...my hair was all over the place. I could only cry and cry. Worst of all, he says it's not his fault but my hair itself and charged a big amount. I'm upset and I will NEVER trust someone again with my hair. I just keep it to myself and try to stay " happy" and hopefully my hair grows back. I wish you all the best with your hair. You're still beautiful.❤
Wow😳 just Wow! Your story is shocking! How could he blame you and charge you while you were crying? I hug you Lynn. You poor thing! 💔 You must be feeling awful 😢 We’re in this together from a distance! And we’ll get our hair healthy again. ♥️💪🏻
You handled this with class 👏🏻
♥️ You’re very sweet Brooke ♥️
You are such an amazing person Heidi. You have handled this situation with such grace even though it was completely devastating. Sending you much love as you continue the journey.
p.s. I am going to my long time hairdresser this morning for a touch up on my highlights☺️ Thinking of you❤️
Please…! Devastating applies when you loose someone you love or if you are dying not with hair breakage… I had my fair share of hair breakage/loss so I know how distressing it can be and how it can make you so self conscious, but this is in no way devastating.
If you use Demi permanent hair dye is not damagin to the hair. Going dark for a while would be good for you so your hair can heal. You can use Demi permanent to fill the hair.
No chopping! Looks great. Let it rest and use K18! Put yourself in very professional hands. You can find someone to do your roots.
Thank you! ♥️ You would think yours is just a comment, but for me it’s not. 🫶
Hola Heidi, no dejes de subir contenido, me gustaria ver como tu cabello se sigue recuperando poco a poco. Te envío un abrazo apretado desde Uruguay ❤❤❤
Gracias Alina! 💕🙏🏻
Heidi where do I start 🤗 you are one kind hearted/ empathetic selfless soul,,,after all you went through you still stay the professional understandably lady,,showing kindness to the hairdresser takes a special kind of person Heidi ❤ and still you are thinking of others aside yourself going through something similar,,,,i hope you get the comfort from the hair doctor and please stay positive and hope you don't ever leave us you tube family 🥰i have learned a lot from you and owe a lot to you please take care and look after yourself Heidi ❤lou
Thank you so much Lou ♥️
@@heidiguttenberg ❤🙏
Heidi you are so amazing and so lovely. You are pure class all the way handling this horrible ordeal like a champ and showing true strength, caring and forgiveness! You are the lady we all strive to be, well done sweetie.
You should try to get k18 to help sponsor your recovery and use your situation as marketing and how awesome their products are. Sometimes when tragedy strikes it opens other doors.
You have to continue with your amazing channel, videos and content. You are so worthwhile in every way and again show how amazing you really are!
Love you girl! Also you look gorgeous as always! 😘
Love you too Daphne! Such a beautiful name by the way ♥️ I’m so grateful for your positive point of view. I chose to believe that good can come from the shadows too and will 🙏🏻 Hope you have an amazing day 😃
@@heidiguttenberg I’m truly hoping you become the face of k18. It’s such a blessed company and product, bless them really! They deserve someone like you on that amazing team! 😘
You are always gorgeous inside and out, truly so proud of you! ❤️
@@daphnelabelle1313 You believe in me more than I in myself! thanks for the good wishes!
The length of your hair actually looks really good! Had you not showed us the breakage, i would not have been able to tell your hair was damaged. So all the treatments are working and it looks so much better than it did! I was absolutely devastated when a trusted hairdresser chopped 6 inches off my hair. I cried off and on for weeks. Glad you will be taking us along for yiur recovery journey. Together we will likely learn so much ! ❤
Six inches❓ That is a lot to cut off without permission. It has happened to all of us.
I too had a trusted long term hairdresser. Had gone in for a trim. His phone rang and he answered it while continuing to cut my hair. Well he got distracted and CHOP. Five inches gone. I yelped loudly. He looked, hung up the phone and proceeded to say that I really needed more than a trim anyway. What the f**k?
I was not nice. I was visibly upset and told him it was so unprofessional for him to take a call and continue to cut my hair. I hated the haircut. HATED IT. My hair has always been long. It was now dusting my shoulders. I told him that the phone call cost him his fee. It took 3 years to grow back to the original length. I know cut my own hair.
I’m so sorry that happened to you Heidi. It sounds like a nightmare (I actually often have dreams about horrible things happening to my hair!) You’ve been my hair inspiration a few years and your hair still looks beautiful so you’ve definitely been doing all the right things to help repair your hair. Remember that every single day it will get a little better. 😊 I’m sure that You Tubing your hair recovery journey will be a huge help to lots people going through similar experiences so keep doing what you do! X
Thank you so much 😊 for your empathy and for the encouragement ♥️ How lucky am I that you’ve been watching for years ?! 🥹🫶 🙏🏻 That’s what my hubby says to me: it only gets better from here. 🤗
My hair also got fried off underneath so I was so insecure about having it up, it was about two inches and now it’s past my shoulders. Thank God it grows back after chemical damage! It’s still so devastating. Im so glad you didn’t go bald, it still looks okay! It will heal. You’re still beautiful. ❤️
Thank you Halle! You’re so sweet! How was that first touch up after it was fried?
I subbed after watching your previous video. You have a lovely spirit. I am glad things are going well and I look forward to watching all your videos
Thank you so much 💕🙏🏻
Hairstylist here. I am 99.9% sure the reason it broke off was overlapping. So she placed bleach over your previous highlights on that section on the top that she fully bleached instead of highlighted. She MIGHT have left it on too long, but even if she had left it for the proper processing time, the hair that had the bleach applied on top of your previous highlights still would have been severely damaged. I am sure, as you said, that she learned a valuable lesson. I’m so sorry this happened to you.
I think you may be right! Thank you for sharing your expert opinion 🙏🏻💕
Do not stop posting on your channel. You will get through this hair tragedy and you will be able to help others❤️ Love from Canada
These words are so uplifting! Thanks so much!
The part on mistakes is the best ❤
🙏🏻♥️
I'm so sorry for that. I really admire the way you handled it, if shows a classy and polite person. I remember from a previous video of yours that you had tried Kerastase therapiste, would it help you at this stage? Whatever treatment you are currently following, I wish you the best. I am really interested in following your progress. We usually see therapeutic products used on hair that is already perfect. It makes more sense to see them when there is real need and see if they really work. Of course, I wish you hadn't gone through this. I wish you the best and I hope the tiny progress you see every day, makes you smile. It will be behind you before you know. Greetings from Greece ❤
Thank you! For sure, you can really tell if a product works when things go this bad. I agree!
You seem to be such a lovely human being. Hearing you say what approach you took towards that freighting situation, says alot about you as a person. I hope your hair grows fast so that you can feel much better. I really enjoy watching your videos. Because of you, I purchased k18, tomorrow will be second time using it. Be well.
Thank you so much! 🥰 I try! Hope you’re loving K18. I can believe what in can do on extreme situations like mine. Let me know!
Honestly, with the way you style it, it is not noticeable really whatsoever. At least on video like this.
I hope you always keep making videos, situations like this only make you more relatable and educational for those of us who also go through this kind of thing, as a stylist or a badass angel. Thank you for sharing your journey, you're beautiful inside and out. I think you're handling this like a badass angel all around.
🥹♥️ This moved me! Thank you Nathan! New update later today ♥️
Heidi eres tan amorosa y generosa que aún en estas semanas difíciles, compartes con nosotr@s. Con el paso del tiempo tu pelo crecerá y esto solo quedará como un mal recuerdo. Celebro tu decisión de no usar más bleach, por más que nos encante ser rubias es importante concientizarnos lo delicado que es y más cuando llevamos años sobreprocesando nuestro pelo. Escuchar lo que te pasó me partió el corazón pero a la vez admiro tu bondad y resiliencia. Te queremos ❤❤❤❤
Gracias por tus dulces palabras Ana Carolina! 💕
Very classy response to an unbelievable trauma. Love you even more xxx
Awww 🥰 Honestly I did the best I could. I’m lucky to read such a beautiful comment. Sending love your way too ♥️
Dear Heidi, you are the most badass angel😊
You will get through this, and my God you will be even stronger. This experience, as horrible as it is now, will allow you to know your hair even better. Who else could come back from this, then you. Love your videos. Keep going❤
Thank you for the encouragement Andrea ♥️💪🏻 🥰 It really helps! 🙏🏻
Heidi you are beautiful inside out ❤
I can feel your pain this experience was traumatic.
I hope you feel better soon❤ What matters the most is your health ✨️
No one is going to notice the hair damage you shine girl 🎉
Awwww Anna 💕 How sweet of you to take the time to write such supportive words! 🙏🏻
Your video helped me a lot to save my hair although it wasn't burned that much! I'm very happy to see that your hair looks much much better.
This 100% made my day! Thanks for taking the time to tell me ♥️ Hope it gets better and better every single day 🤞
Please keep making videos. I love watching you and find your advice valuable. I appreciate you and wish you the best during this challenging time ❤😊
🥹 this touched my heart ❤🙏🏻 I appreciate you so much too!
You are an amazing person Heidi! For now I think you should continue to do Olaplex and k18 treatment plus hydration/nutrition hair mask to restore your hair. If you decide to color,,I suggest too you use Demi hair-color only.
Shade EQ Demi hair-color is a great hair-color.
Hi Heidi, you dealt with this accident in a very smart way, glad you didn't keep resentment and managed to stay positive. Your hair and your "bar" looks very nice! 😊
♥️ Hiiiii 👋🏻 Thanks 🙏🏻 I did what I could. Glad you like it, cause it may be around for a bit.
Wow Heidi , you are a amazing person. I love your videos and you. Your reaction are so great to the hairdresser. You are right ,go forward !!!💪Wish you a good recovery and all the best from Switzerland . ❤
Thank you so much Corina ♥️ I wish to visit Switzerland 🇨🇭 🔜
Ur such an amazing person!! 💗
You’re too kind! I try!!!
I've probably mentioned this before, i have alopecia and it falls out at the front and top. I use a wig when this happens. I've also got a topper that covers pretty well but im not a fan of the clips.
I have so much respect for you that you didn't get angry with her. I remember getting all my hair cut off by a very inexperienced hairdresser and i wasn't proud of my reaction.
We all do the best we can! Nobody is perfect, myself included. Yes, I remember you because Alopecia runs in my family and although I only got a mild case of alopecia areata, I know people with alopecia that are close to me. They are strong 💪🏻 and resilient. ♥️ I’d looove a topper at least to go out every now and then until it grows.
@@heidiguttenberg th-cam.com/video/R9kEhIJV4HI/w-d-xo.html
I would recommend a darker toner to smudge the root down and go for a more bayalaged look. You could get lowlights pulled through the ends too to break it up and once your hair is a but healthier you can add the blonde around your face to feel blonde still. Keep in mind high lift isn't as damaging but is still quiet damaging . Toner is your best bet (going a bit darker )
I love your positive attitude about this situation. I am glad that you were able to prevent it from completely falling out and are being careful about deciding your next step. I hope the doctor can give you good, helpful advice on how to navigate this challenging situation.
Thank you so much Susan! 💕🙏🏻
Saludos Heidi. Tu cabellos va a crecer y seguro que lo hará de la forma más elegante. Me va a dar mucho gusto ver cómo se va recuperando y las etapas por las que pasa.
Que divina Vivi! 💕
You are very mature and handled the situation so well. I'm a hairstylist and believe me when I say it's a stylist worst nightmare. I feel like you'll be able to get through this ! ❤
Thank you Marie ♥️
No dejes los videos! Ahora más que nunca puedes ayudar y dar testimonio. Y además si pasas a un tono más oscuro estarás bellísima, te resaltará los ojos y tú hermosa piel! Ánimo!
Gracias Nati ♥️ Amo tu energía positiva y confío en que de acá todo irá mejorando. 🤗
Oh nooooooo
I had this happen years ago and it all grew out. Years later.
Go brunette and let it all heal etc
How many years later? 🥺
We love You Heidi !! I'm happy yo see you so well, i see your hair healthier ❤
Love you too 😘🥰🙏🏻 We’ll get there ♥️ Thank you so much!
Heidi, you are looking great! I am here for you! Sending all my love and respect to you!
Thank you so much Claudia ♥️
I’m a cosmetology student and unfortunately this happens if you overlap bleach! I would suggest doing low light with shade 7 and 8 using demi permanent on the root. Don’t attempt doing that yourself just search for a good hair salon near you and ask for diffused teasy lowlights. I would do that in 2-3 months from now and continue doing your k18 and lots of care in the meantime. It’s already looking better now and I can tell you’re on the right track but I wouldn’t do any bleach for at least 6 months from now. You’re so brave for putting yourself out here and telling your story hopefully this will help a lot of people who maybe dealing with this situation 💓💓
Thank you for your advice! I thought about lowlights too, as an alternative. Yes, I will give it time. 🙏🏻♥️
Wow. Love the black nail polish that you wearing ❤❤❤
This happened to me in my late twenties. She was doing a root touch-up on me. I lost a lot of hair all over, throughout my entire head. She overlapped the bleach. I was devastated. They didn’t charge me but they also did not compensate me either. I took the salon owner to small claims court and won. ** Just curious, what was the high-lift color that you used on the side that you showed?
Your hair looks so good compared to when I saw it last just looks normal. :) I bet you’re feeling so much better. X
We’ll get there ♥️ Thanks so much for the support 🥰
Im so sorry You’re going through this. I had the same thing happen to me but my hair is not growing anymore 😢 the broken parts on the upper hair just stays the same. No change at the moment and I really don’t know what to do anymore :(
Oh no! 💔 How long has this been?
Dear Heidi, bless your good heart. You and even your hair still look beautiful. And it will only get better. You see a lack of bad intentions because that's how you are, without any wish to cause harm to anyone. And in fact, likely she had none. Berating her would only have increased the suffering when shouldn't we all want to minimize suffering and as you say support growth. But though you are such a good person, motivated to do good, you are rational!! even in such an emotional situation. It would seem your every decision was rationally made after logical analysis. You make the world a better place. In spite of what you're dealing with, you did all the right things, imo. Take care sweet girl. xo
You are the one with the sweetest kindest heart ❤ Thanks for your warm comment 🙏🏻
I think you'll look great with your natural hair colour 😊
Thank you ! 😀
We could listen to you talk about anything. It must not be only haircare, you can also do skin care, talk about how you surpass bad experiences, show us Argentina. We will stick to you, do not give up!
Claudia ❤ It feels so good to read your comment. How amazing are YOU to produce such supportive words 🤗 Thank you!
Heidi, you are such a kind soul. I can sense the pain you’ve been through. I really feel for you. 😔
Your attitude about how to handle things (like anger) says a lot about you. Beautiful inside and out with a gentle heart. I do wish the salon would have provided K18 products for you for free. It would have been the right thing to do.
I’m sure that this experience will help teach you (and all of us if you are willing to share your experiences) invaluable info about how to repair hair.
I pray for the healing of your hair and for fast growth! But not just for your hair, but for your heart, as this has been very traumatic.
I hate to write what I’m going to next but I feel I should just to share info since your channel here is mainly about hair care…
If your TH-cam channel is your main way of making money you technically could have sued the salon that messed up your hair. I’m not suggesting you do this, just saying that it is an option. But I do know that we all make mistakes too… 🤷🏼♀️
I also wanted to ask if there’s any skincare you recommend, as you have beautiful skin!
Also, where you’ve tested hair dye on the side of your head.. it looked very natural and good! 👍🏻
Thank you so much for your empathy and your advice 💕🙏🏻 But most importantly, thank you so much for still being here 🥺

Omg, I'm so sorry 😞
Thank you 🥹 It’s getting better ❤️🩹
please do not stop making videos 🙏🥺
Thank you Sandie ❤ 🙏🏻 This means so much 🙂
Sorry this happened I know how it feels same happened to mine I have same dark natural as you bleached for years no problems at all a year ago had whiter highlights and she did a bleach bath and completely ruined my hair 😢very traumatic had breakage at root like yours but also snapped hair all way down thought was going to be bald. Got to be honest even a year later my hairs still so damaged used to break every single day no matter how much olaplex and k18 I tried and still do everything to save it 😢think need a bigger cut I’m so paranoid of my hair now hate having the hair dresser or anyone touching it I used to have thick long hair now it’s a fried mess. root breakage only just above my ears now looks terrible like you say when windy etc can’t even go darker as that would mean dying over my snapped damaged lengths 😢 stay strong keep posting your helping others - your hair looks lots better already amd at least breakage just at top not everywhere don’t think you need a dr you’ll be wasting money in desperation trust me I know wasted so much money, maybe I need a head dr now as I’m a nutcase stressing over my hair lol 😂 💜
Your story is just 💔 Thank you for taking the time to share it with me. I hope we both get better soon. I have this feeling that bleach is being overused as if there were no risks or consequences like this. Well, we’ll be bouncing back soon! ♥️😀
I had a similar thing happen. New hairdresser bleached my hair super pale and the condition was poor. So I co washed instead of shampooed for a year and used a hair gloss to tint it to a mid blonde which also blended in the roots. After a year I went to a good salon and got it colour corrected but I sometimes wonder if just going darker (I am a natural blonde with now grey roots at the crown) and using semi permanent colour myself is the way forward. DIY colour and even highlights seems to work just fine for some and you can get the result your really want.
Make video tutorial next , how you color your hair. That would help others as well :)
Thank youuuu! Definitely!!! ♥️ Will do as soon as I make up my mind 😂
You can tell it’s a lot healthier, you handled your visit at the salon very classy & well too. Ask the doctor about virtue flourish line and the new kerastase nutritive serum and rich mask 😇🫶🏻
Thanks for the tips! ❤
Hey lovely. I do my roots with Igora high lift 10.1 and get great results.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 I am experimenting with color on healthy areas as I showed you in the video and reading formulas that work for others helps so much!
It does look really nice
Thanks Lisa Marie ♥️ You’re so sweet.
Please keep us updated. And we are praying for you. I know that sounds overly dramatic. But I am serious. Unless this has happened to you. People have no idea how deeply painful this is emotionally. And one of the blessings is you have and know about the amazing tools that are available to you. Like you said K18 spray, K18 mask, the best conditioners and olaplaex #3. I hope the hair Doctor will have valuable useful advice on how you should proceed. Please let us know your progress. I have a feeling you will be able to help a lot of people on your journey to repair your hair. And I am glad you decided not to cut it off. I hope you include us in this journey. We care deeply about you. And appreciate all the knowledge you have shared with us.
Hola Heidi espero que estés mucho mejor. Hace unos cuantos años atrás a mi tmb me quemaron el cabello con una decoloración. Pase de tenerlo largo por la cadera a llevarlo por encima de los hombros y lo peor de todo esto es que se veía achicharrado. En su entonces no existía siquiera olaplex , pero la línea que me ayudó a recuperarlo nutrirlo h darle movimiento fue la Absolut Repair de L’Oréal. La línea original no gold quinoa. Claramente en ese entonces decidí ya no aportarle más color ni decoloración en el salón. Sustitui el acondicionador por la mascarilla de loreal y 2 veces por semana me hacía mi baño de crema dejándolo mínimo una hora . Otro baños de crema maravillosos son los kerastase ( un antes y un después) . A este punto ya trataba de no estilizar mi cabello ,ni aportarle calor y a los meses fue mejorando muchísimo.
Sé que es frustrante y triste el proceso pero se puede lograr . Y luego de 2 años de hacerle nada pude intentar el cabello rubio nuevamente y sin problemas. Hoy en día existen varios productos más para ayudarnos en estos casos como olaplex que es buenísimo . Te recomiendo tomar vitaminas L cistina, biotina, b6 algún complejo vitamínico que te ayude tmb por dentro . Te mando un abrazo muy fuerte y ánimos que todo se puede mejorar ❤ No pierdas la fe
Hola Johanna! Que tremendo! Debías sentirte una persona totalmente distinta y encima sin haber deseado ese cambio 💔Gracias por compartir tus consejos y por el apoyo! ♥️
You are beautiful... inside and out! Consider going brunette. It would be healthier for your hair and would probably look great with your skin tone and eye color. Please keep your channel! Love it! ❤️
Thank you so much!! ❤
Sending so much love to you!!! 🖤 I'm sorry this happened to you xxxx
if it makes you feel any better I'm in the same boat with the damage 😢 today i went to a hair salon for the first time in years and omg the girl doing my hair was SO ROUGH with me 😢 felt like she was trying to scalp me, she was tugging that hard. It was so painful and my hair turned out so orange and damaged. A waste of $500 and it was so fried and such a gross colour that i immediately bought a colour mask and dyed it semi permanent back to black. I will never trust anyone else with my hair ever again 😅 i don't think the girl even used any conditioner on my hair 😢
Sounds like my old hairdresser haha. I swear she was a sadist or something. No matter how many times I flinched/pulled away and said it hurt she continued ripping my bleached hair and dragging her nails on my sensitive scalp with a big grin on her face. It was awful lol
Wow did we see the same hairdresser?! Haha so awful
OMG 🫣 Nooo! So happy you were able to take charge at least. You look gorgeous in your profile picture!
Heidi - listening to you story - you're amazing and still beautiful ! (eres increible :) -Gracias por compartir ! Best
Thank you so much Emma! You’re so sweet ❤
If you ever need help getting the k18 please let me know! My best friend is a hairdresser and gets me the biggest bottle (5oz) for 60 dollars! Your reviews have really helped me so if I can help in any way please let me know!
I am so moved 🥹 by your kindness ♥️ I will keep that in mind if everything else fails. Wouldn’t want to bother you. Thank you!
Love you Heidi! You look fab still ❤️
Oh thank you! You’re so amazing ❤
Dale Heidi💓! toda la mejor de las energías para la cita con el DR. y que tenga todo solución🙏...pienso que todo es por algo y tal vez esto que te sucedió pueda ser una oportunidad de abrir otras oportunidades de desarrollo de tu Canal TH-cam. es buena idea de documentar lo que te sucede y que tal vez ya te conviertas en una experta en Cuidado y Regeneración capilar. De verdad te deseo lo mejor y que siga tu canal como siempre ayudandonos a tomar la mejor decisión siempre al momento de comprar. Besos y cariños desde NZ 🤗😉😘
Que Amor ♥️ Muchas gracias por todas estas buenas vibras. Me llegan y las super valoro. Dios quiera 🤗
Maybe this is a good time to reset and try something different with your hair in terms of color maybe give it a rest for a while and Blendon some low lights to avoid any additional bleaching damage?
I’ve considered this! Thank you for caring enough to leave me this comment! I will update you guys on my hair later today ♥️
I really feel like you look better as a brunette your natural color.
Thank youuuu 🥹
Heidi pjedes usar para proximas decoloraciones polvo de colorantes sin amoniaco y mezclar olaplex no 1 para evitar quiebre
Gracias! ♥️ Que miedo que me da pensar en decolorarme pero buen dato que hay sin amoníaco 👏🏻
@@heidiguttenberg Si ha marcas como ion que no tiene amoniaco o si no tienes el chance, trta de conseguir el no 1 de olaplex
@@historiasddannaalquatiylunamtz siii el 1 lo tengo ♥️ Tengo que ver que hago pero mil gracias por los tips!
It didn't show if you didn't mention it, the rest of your hair is intact, it will need some time for the breakage to regrow. Please don't retired from TH-cam and keep us updated. I recommend a keratin treatment for the rest of your hair it will help with the frizz, a toner will fix the hair color, and if you need to go blonde, you have to use a highlift dye as soon as possible, coz ur roots are still short enough so the heat of ur scalp can help with lift.❤❤❤❤.
Hey Heidi!
I am experiencing the same traumatic situation however, I was curious what was your hair condition in week 6 or 12? I didn’t see that you mentioned you know when you wash it it’s all so fragile you cannot comb or touch, but is it the same weak hair on week six just like in the first days?
Checkout my latest! It gets better! I am very sorry you went through this 😫
