Bond repair products have become increasingly popular over the years, even SPATE deemed products that repair damaged hair some of the top Google searches due to their ability to go beyond deep conditioners to mend broken bonds and make hair stronger.
Since hair is essentially dead protein, it requires a helping hand to repair damage and if you use a good bond building product, you’ll look and see a difference almost immediately. To find out exactly what bond builders for hair are and how to use them, we turned to celebrity stylist and owner of The Dry House, Ali Ryan.
theFashionSpot: What are bond builders for hair?
Ali Ryan: Bond builders repair your damaged hair and prevent future damage.
tFS: Have they only recently become popular or have stylists been using them for a long time?
AR: People have been bond builders using them for a long time but they started with a slow burn and have taken off recently.
tFS: Are they only for people with damaged hair or should everyone use them?
AR: All hair is damaged in different ways, so I recommend this product for everyone. Whether you brush it, expose it to environmental conditions, or use heat, color or bleach, all of these factors result in damage. There are varying levels of damage depending on your own experiences. However, those with more damage should use the at-home product twice a week.
tFS: How do you suggest bond builders be worked into a haircare routine?
AR: Make sure a professional product like epres Professional is put into all your chemical services. If you don’t do chemical services you need to use the at-home hair care treatment once a week
tFS: Can you single out your favorite one?
AR: Ever since getting my hands on epres, its one of the only products that does exactly what it says its gonna do. It has become a staple in my salon. I was so thrilled to test out epres pilot samples prior to launch and since then I can’t get enough!
tFS: Any general tips when shopping for bond builder products?
AR: Look for a product that is effective – it is easy to get overwhelmed with so many choices nowadays. I love epres because it is comprised of four ingredients- simple but incredibly effective without any extra ingredients that may be unneeded.
