In an era of ever advancing haircare technology, maintaining healthy and vibrant hair has become the epicentre of hair care regimes. Let’s break down the latest trend hitting the backwash: Bond Repair Treatments. Headmasters is here to explain this revolutionary treatment and its necessity for anyone who colours or bleaches their hair.
Sian Couldridge, Headmasters’ Creative Ambassador, Colour Lead, and Art Team & Academy Manager, emphasises the significance of these treatments, stating, “More research is delving into the hair to repair it on a molecular level, effectively treating it from the inside out.” With a focus on maintaining hair health throughout the colouring process, Bond Repair Treatments act as an insurance policy for your hair, preventing damage caused by these colouring and bleaching processes.
Gone are the days of subjecting your hair to colour treatments that leave it sensitised and in need of rescue. Sian highlights the shift towards proactive haircare, stating, “The Bonding treatments we have now in salon do an unbelievable job of maintaining the strength of the hair from within, it means we can lighten and colour hair with confidence, without compromising the condition”.
Sian emphasizes that while these treatments are revolutionary for preventing damage, for highly compromised hair that is already at snapping point, these treatments may not have the desired results. However, they are highly effective as preventative measures. Sian personally advocates for incorporating Bond Repair Treatments into every colour or bleach service, leveraging the technology and science behind them to safeguard hair health.
