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
An all-in-one formula that saturates your strands in a strengthening blend of peptides and lipids, helping to intensely hydrate dry and brittle ends. Thetriple bond complex is designed to be used weekly, providing protection and nourishment to all hair types, giving the illusion of glossier, silky-looking tresses with mirror-like shine.

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.
