What is the best bonding treatment for hair?
After bathing in the sun, taking a splash in the pool or basking in extreme heat this summer, hair can often take a dry, brittle turn. Finding a product which will ‘rescue’ your hair can be difficult, however, with the power of ‘bond-building’ technology, hair can feel healthy and smooth again, even after a long, hot summer - or a rainy one, if you live in the UK! Unlike some other hair products, which effectively coat your hair in moisture, bond-building works by repairing broken bonds inside the hair, rebuilding damage-prone strands from the inside-out. So, without further ado, we have rounded up our favourite bond-building treatments to help bring hair back to life post-sunny season!
L'Oréal Paris Elvive Bond Repair Pre-Shampoo Treatment
Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector
This hair-saving formula is a must for those with fragile, brittle strands. The Hair Perfector acts as a weekly pre-shampoo treatment, protecting against excess breakage as well as visibly strengthening hair and preserving existing colour, restoring a satin-like shine.
Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-in Treatment
Philip Kingsley Bond Builder Restructuring Treatment
Coco & Eve Bond Repair and Restore Kit
Aveda Botanical Repair Routine
A trio which helps to clean, nourish and fortify stressed strands, leaving hair silky smooth and healthy feeling. The strengthening shampoo lifts away dirt and build-up, leaving hair without any unwanted products, sebum or external pollutions, with the formula helping to prevent potential damage. With the power of Aveda’s strengthening masque, hair can be repaired 3 layers deep into the fibre, leaving hair smooth and knot-free, preventing breakage from tugging. Ideal for anyone who uses heated styling products, the leave-in treatment revives strands while guarding against future damage, with heat protection up to 450 degrees. Uplift your senses with the trio's delicate scent of organic marjoram, rose and ylang ylang.
Bumble and bumble Bond-Building Repair Conditioner
Powered by an exclusive Honey-bond building complex, the Bond-Building Conditioner instantly detangles strands while minimising frizz, smoothing the cuticle for softness and shiny hair. This strengthening conditioner is scientifically developed to work on all hair types and textures, allowing everyone to have silky-smooth locks post-summer.
I've always been someone who has been fascinated by makeup and beauty. How it can liberate and empower individuals to express themselves and allow people, me included, to feel more confident. Growing up in a female household who are all beauty oriented has allowed me to experiment with makeup from a young age. My absolute go-to makeup look is a glowy, natural look and I've recently started doing faux freckles- to feel sun-kissed even in the British climate. Cream contour, blush, and highlight are my makeup bag must-haves- with makeup revolution bright light highlighter being my absolute favourite. When it comes to skincare, I have never been someone to have a full routine. I like to keep it simple with a light moisturiser and of course, my Bondi Sands tinted SPF.
