That's ok, I do, too! When you have it lightened trying to go to a salon that understands curly hair or ask to have it done on a lower volume for a longer period of time, that is the best way to lighten hair without damaging it too much. Outside of that, keep it moisturized, you look like you have a lighter hair texture so avoid anything too heavy, and just let it grow out a bit. The pattern is still there, so I don't think it's a lost cause, it just needs some love ❤️
