Any advice on stopping using hair dye and bleach? I want to grow my hair and I know I can’t do it when it’s unhealthy and untameable. Dying my hair is almost an addiction for me.

I know this exact feeling, I just bleached my hair again despite swearing I'd let it rest and only do dark colours until the end of the year! Maybe you could get some hair extensions and use them as colourful streaks that you can change around as much as you like? Or try out hair chalks or some other temporary colour method that doesn't need bleach? What I do to maintain hair health overall is that my hair is only bleached and dyed at the ends (like a dip dye) and I try to change colours as it fades without using bleach, that way my roots and mids are untouched and I do minimum damage on the ends but get to change the colour fairly often. (The problem of course being I'm impatient when I impulsively want to change colours...) Also if you feel like you won't be able to resist bleaching again, maybe get rid of any bleaching supplies you currently have so you won't be able to just go for it when the feeling hits. I've just run out of bleach powder so I won't let myself buy any more for that reason haha
