To combat damage and repair hair, we’re got a few rules to abide by and a hero product range that has the ability to transform your strands in just 90 seconds. Enter: Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR.
Top Tips to Heal Damaged Hair
Focus on Scalp Care
When we experience damage, breakage or not-so-great hair days, we tend to look at our strands as the problem. However, a great deal of hair issues can actually stem from the scalp. By treating this area first, you’ll welcome in a whole new host of benefits. If you’re not sure where to start with your scalp care, pick up a pre-shampoo treatment to cleanse excess product, mineral and environmental buildup. We love the Wella Professionals Elements Purifying Pre-Shampoo Clay treatment. Formulated with Kaolin Clay it will cleanse the scalp of excess sebum while rebalancing the hair for a purified feel.

Repair From the Inside Out
The key to healing damaged hair isn’t just by applying moisturizing ingredients to the outside of the strand. Investing in products that penetrate the hair to rebuild from the inside out is key to building stronger, more resilient hair. Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Shampoo and Conditioner is formulated with Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) to rebuild the inside and Omega 9 AHA to replenish the outside layer of the hair. Start with ULTIMATE REPAIR Shampoo with Metal Purifier technology to remove impurities from the strands that cause damage and follow with ULTIMATE REPAIR Conditioner with a deep nourishing blend that visibly repairs damaged hair and leaves hair looking healthier and shinier* after each use. *vs. non-conditioning shampoo.
