Hair requires maintenance; nobody is debating that. When it comes to making sure you’ve got flawless locks, there are a plethora of problems that can be alleviated with modern haircare technology. The common problems of dryness, brittleness, and dullness can be solved with a variety of today’s most cutting-edge hair repair products — and among those, a certain subset called “bond repair” is proving to be a potent ally in the fight against damaged hair. Let’s go over what exactly bond repair is, some of the best bond repair products we carry at Marie’s Beauty Salon & Supply, and how they work to restore your hair.

What Is Bond Repair?

Bond repair refers to a haircare process that aims to restore and strengthen damaged hair by repairing broken bonds within the individual hair strands. “Hair bonds” refers to the bonds that link protein chains together; they’re the building blocks of your hair. The important issue here is that these bonds can be damaged due to relatively common chemical treatments, like bleaching or dyeing. Bond repair products utilize special formulas that penetrate the hair strand, rejoining and reinforcing the weakened bonds. 

What’s The Best Candidate?

The best candidate in terms of bond repair products depends on the problem at hand, and what specific hair repair goal you have in mind. Here’s some of the best:

• Alterna Caviar Bond Repair
• Paul Mitchell BondRx
• Olaplex
• K-18
• Living Proof Triple Bond Complex
• Redken Acidic Bonding
• Amika The Cure Bond Repair

How Do These Products Work?

Bond repair products such as the ones listed above work by utilizing specialized formulas that target and repair the broken bonds within the hair structure. Ingredients that many bond repair products have in common are keratin and amino acids. 

When these products are applied to your hair, they’ll penetrate the hair strands and work on the molecular level to rejoin the broken bonds. They rebuild the structural integrity of your hair — which reduces breakage, increases elasticity, and improves hair’s overall health and appearance.

How Do I Decide Which Bond Repair Product To Use?

You’ll want to first assess your hair’s condition and the extent of any damage. Consult with one of our professional stylists who can guide you through the process with their expert knowledge of haircare and the products we carry.
