Can Damaged Hair Be Repaired? With The Right Products, You Bet
Even the best of us make serious hair mistakes from time to time. Maybe you went a little too wild with the colour lifting at the salon (even though your hairdresser warned you not to), and that silky mane has turned into, well, straw. Perhaps 2024 was your year of forgetting the heat protection when styling, and now those ends are more fried than swishy.
Hair damage happens. We get it. No one's perfect, and for whatever reason we all end up with snapped strands and damaged lengths from time to time. Thankfully, these days, there is science that can help turn around that damage without having to lop off your lengths into a bob.
Types Of Hair Damage
It won't surprise you to learn that hair damage comes in different varieties. Going into all of them would make this blog 100 pages long, so to discuss split ends and breakage, let's look at three of the most common forms.
Chemical Damage
Harsh chemical treatments like bleaching, colouring, perming, or relaxing are the culprits here. These strip strands of natural proteins and lipids mean increased porosity, frizz, and – yep – that brittle, straw-like texture that makes you panic.
Heat Damage
We loooove our styling tools at BondiBoost, but overuse (and failing to protect strands from excessive heat) can definitely lead to damage, like rough texture, dullness and split ends. This is because over-heating hair weakens the cuticle, depleting moisture and altering its protein structure.
Mechanical Damage
Love a tight, sleek bun? Find yourself rushing to detangle your strands after a shower? Mechanical damage is the kind we physically do to our hair when we aren't gentle. This is why you find those really short, spiky hairs around your hairline or in your bangs – strands keep snapping due to the weakness of the cuticle.
In the past, all of this damage could only be solved with one fix – a major haircut. Thank god for science, right? We were so over-lopping off damage that we created a system to fix it instead. The BondiBoost Rapid Repair Bond Builder+ collection harnesses the power of plants in its Natural Bond Builder+ Technology. Extracts from soy and ginseng, plus Vitamin B and amino acids, work together to repair the key structural protein of the hair from the inside out. That means stronger, shinier hair, and taking zero steps back on your hair goal journey!
Meet Rapid Repair Bond Builder+
A complete system designed to turn around hair damage fast, the Rapid Repair Bond Builder+ collection features a shampoo and conditioner and mask packed with Natural Bond Builder+ Technology, plus plenty of hair-loving ingredients to soften and support your strands while they're recovering.
Two major power players are the Leave-In Mask and Finishing Oil. Clinically proven to reverse hair damage in just four (!!) minutes, our Leave-In Mask's silicone-free formula is the easiest to use – just shampoo as usual, squeeze out excess water and apply the mask. No need to rinse; just go about your day.
Need a little help with frizz and flyaways post-styling? You'll want the Rapid Repair Bond Builder+ Finishing Oil. It's your weightless styling oil to tame strands and add major shine, plus the incredible benefits of Natural Bond Builder+ Technology to keep restoring those damaged lengths throughout the day.
Of course, it's a no-brainer to make 2025 your year of looking after your hair, and there are a few ways to prevent damage (or at least minimise it). Always use Heat Protect Spray when styling. Give your strands a break from tight hairstyles – try sleeping in a loose braid, or leave it out when you're at home. Go slow with major colour changes, and ask your salon if there are treatments or additions to chemical processes that can minimise the impact on your hair.
But hey, if you do get into dire straits – it's nice to know there are products out there saving your strands, right?
