Summer may be good for the endorphins, but it isn’t quite as kind to our hair. Although we’re peddled promises of the perfect beachy texture through some divine alchemy of sea water and a coastal breeze, the reality tends to be more frayed and frazzled, thanks to UV damage and too much summer styling.
“Since hair is technically dead – it’s made from dead keratinised cells – it can’t regenerate as your skin might,” says certified trichologist and cosmetic chemist Angela Onuoha. “What you can do, however, is improve its cosmetic integrity and reduce or prevent further damage.”
Enter bond-building treatments, as the rise and rise of repair technology infiltrates our bathrooms, with many products now available at budget-friendly price points.
