it said my hair is moderately damaged but actually its very damaged from all the coloring I've done

My results were correct; I'm working hard at undoing the damage which has been done (washing every second or third day in cool water, having ends trimmed faithfully, sleeping on a satin pillowcase, you name it).

Although I'm good about deep-conditioning, this quiz was a great reminder about ways that I can be treating my hair better. I really need to step-up on the hair trimming, even though I'm trying to keep it long/growing. Plus, I never thought of protecting my hair from sun damage. Great tips!

Definitely reminded me that I need to be more religious about cutting my hair, instead of dragging myself into a salon every four to seven months. But great suggestion on using heat-protectant in the sun-that had never crossed my mind! However, it will likely wash off in the river, where I pretty much live all summer. Not sure how to protect it from the sun and alkaline water there.
