Each and every day we subject our hair to a range of damage, from chemical treatments like dying our hair to regular stressors like UV exposure and heat styling. While many of us attempt to control the damage once it’s already done, there is a better way — to add bond builders to every step of the way instead. With a range of bond builders, achieving repair with Redken throughout your hair routine is easy and effective.
How To Add Bond Repair to Your Hair Care Routine
Color
Whether it is a root touch-up with permanent color or highlights with bleach — when you color your hair, the cuticle layer is lifted and can leave the hair susceptible to damage. To cut down on damage and add a bond-building treatment, ask your stylist to use Redken Flash Lift Bonder Inside when lifting and opt for a Redken Shades EQ Bonder Inside service anytime you color your hair. From highlights to an add-on treatment to your root touch-up, Redken Flash Lift Bonder Inside is a demi-permanent conditioning toner + bonder in one that delivers color while also delivering bond repair. Redken Shades EQ Bonder Inside reduces the alkalinity in the hair after a lightening service to build stronger, less sensitized hair.
