WHY IS YOUR HAIR BREAKING AFTER BLEACH, COLOR OR HIGHLIGHTS?
Hair bleach and permanent hair dyes, can severely damage your hair
Hair bleaching is a very harsh and damaging process. Bleaching works by opening the hair cuticle and breaking down melanin to remove your natural color. This process strips the hair of its natural pigmentation and protective layers, leaving it highly vulnerable, porous, and prone to damage .
Here are the key takeaways for maintaining hair health and achieving your desired color.
Opt for Safer Alternatives: Temporary, semi-permanent, and hair rinse options do not contain ammonia and generally coat the outside of the hair shaft rather than opening it . These are far healthier for weak or processed hair.
If you still choose to bleach your hair
:Darker Shades Are Safer: When dyeing your hair, darker shades generally require less bleach and fewer chemicals, resulting in significantly less damage than drastic lightening.
Never Bleach and Relax hair at the same time
: You should never use bleach or permanent hair color on relaxed hair, especially if done on the same day or closely together. Using both chemicals can cause severe scalp damage, including hair thinning, baldness, and permanent hair loss.
Pre-Treat Your Hair: Deep condition and treat your hair for at least two to three weeks before applying any permanent color or bleach to build up its strength
Consult a Professional: Applying strong chemicals to compromised hair can cause irreversible damage. Always seek Professional Help when considering major color transformations or chemical treatments.
LYE RELAXER VS. NO LYE
Chemical treatments—like bleaching, coloring, relaxing, or perming—break down the internal bonds that give your hair its strength. Using protein afterward is essential because it replaces lost keratin, repairs structural damage, and restores elasticity to prevent hair loss and breakage.
While you get the new color or style you want, this process leaves the hair shaft hollow, porous, and significantly weakened. When hair lacks structural integrity, it becomes highly susceptible to damage.How Protein Restores Your Hair
Protein treatments. the ultimate lifeline for fragile hair
Protein strategically infuses the hair strands with necessary building blocks, these targeted formulas repair structural damage, prevent
breakage, and protect against further environmental or heat styling stress.
Protein can effectively Restores Elasticity: Healthy hair stretches and returns to its original length without snapping. Protein treatments restore this flexibility, actively reducing snapping and split ends.
Fills the Gaps
Hydrolyzed protein molecules are small enough to penetrate the hair's outer layer (the cuticle) and fill in the structural voids left by chemicals.
Rebuilds Strength:
providing the amino acids your hair is currently missing, the treatment rebuilds the internal architecture of the hair shaft.
Seals the Cuticle
Proteins coat the hair strand, patching up weak spots, locking in nourishment, and protecting your hair against future environmental or heat damage.
