I’m devastated due to my ruined hair

I feel so silly because I am heartbroken over my ruined hair. After 3 years I managed to grow it down to my shoulders. Then I had neck surgery and had to wear a brace/collar for 2 months which ruined the back of my hair. It was frizzy like it was back combed and tangled no matter how much conditioner I applied. Then I had a trim (new hairdresser - another mistake) which looked like a dog’s dinner so I tried thinning it out myself but still looked bad.
What do I do? I can’t bear to look at the back of my hair. I’m putting so much conditioner on it I need to wash it every 2nd day instead of twice a week. My surgery was a success and I should be very pleased it was done so quickly, but I’m worrying about my hair instead, I’m such an ungrateful woman.
Please help!

I lost a lot of my hair in my early 20s and had to wear wigs. Luckily, wigs were quite fashionable back then. However, they were itchy and I felt vulnerable wearing them. One of my friends at uni paid for me to go to a Vidal Sassoon salon. The stylist somehow managed to use what hair I had to create a new style for me. It looked fantastic and I even got lots of compliments. Really, get yourself to a good quality known stylist. It would be worth it and fully complete your surgery success.
