The 15 Best Hair Bonding Treatments for Dry, Damaged Tresses

We love a good blowout or fresh color to elevate our look instantly. But the catch is that these treatments can eventually make our hair appear dry, brittle, and lackluster—and worse yet, cause breakage, which can even lead to hair loss. Throw in the fact that simple exposure to the elements can also dehydrate our tresses, and it’s no wonder that they’re often in need of some extra TLC. While a trim or full-on chop is typically the best remedy for severely damaged locks, hair bonding treatments can be a potent intermediary step to help keep hair looking and feeling its healthiest.

“Hair bonding treatments are great for double process clients like blondes, those who use chemical styling treatments such as perms, or who have high heat damage from over-styling,” celebrity hairstylist Adam Maclay explains. “These formulas work to protect and restore the hydrogen, salt, and disulfide bonds of the hair to strengthen it from the inside out. It’s like filling in the potholes on the street; these products help to smooth split ends, restore moisture and shine, and make the hair more manageable.”
