I dye my hair constantly, and the thing no one tells you (or they did and I wasn’t listening), is that all of these fun, spontaneous, new personalities come with a price. I love how healthy and fresh my hair feels after using the Bond Maintenance shampoo. It’s a relief to find a nourishing product that actually works on all hair types (I often feel like us thin-haired folk are left behind). My hair went from feeling brittle and frayed to smooth, shiny, and healthy—without having to sacrifice any volume. Their products help repair all types of chemical damage, like relaxing and keratin treatments, as well as perms and colouring. If you’ve managed to avoid the bleach but still have damage from heat styling, brushing or even environmental stressors, the Olaplex products are still suitable for you. lt;p>- The N&ordm;.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo increases shine and leaves hair looking healthier</p>
