What Causes Dry and Damaged Hair?
Hair can become dry and damaged for a number of reasons. Some of the most common causes include:
-
Frequent heat styling
-
Bleaching and colouring
-
Chemical treatments
-
Excessive brushing or styling
-
Over-processing the hair
-
Environmental exposure
-
Lack of moisture and nourishment
When hair is repeatedly exposed to these types of damage, it can become weaker, drier and more prone to breakage.
This is why a good damaged hair routine should focus on more than just adding moisture. The best approach combines cleansing, targeted treatment and nourishment to help improve the look and feel of weakened hair.
What Is Bond Repair for Damaged Hair?
Bond repair treatments are designed to help care for hair that has been weakened by damage such as heat styling, bleaching, colouring and chemical treatments.
The bonds within the hair contribute to the strength and structure of each strand. When hair becomes damaged, a targeted bond repair treatment can help support stronger-feeling, healthier-looking hair.
The Recode Bonding Haircare Range has been created to help repair and strengthen damaged-looking hair while improving softness, smoothness and shine.
For the best results, use a complete routine that combines a bonding shampoo with targeted treatment and nourishment for the lengths and ends.
How to Repair Damaged Hair: The Best Bond Repair Haircare Routine
Step 1: Cleanse with Recode Bonding Shampoo
Start by thoroughly wetting your hair before massaging the Recode Bonding Shampoo into the scalp and lengths.
The shampoo gently cleanses while helping to care for damaged and weakened hair without leaving it feeling stripped of moisture.
It's ideal for hair affected by heat styling, bleaching, colouring and other forms of damage.
Rinse thoroughly before moving on to your treatment step.
Step 2: Use a Hair Mask for Dry and Damaged Hair
If your hair feels dry, brittle or damaged, a targeted hair mask can provide more intensive care than your everyday conditioner.
The Recode Leave-In Hair Mask penetrates each hair strand to help repair and nourish from within, while helping to improve the look and feel of dry, weakened hair.
The formula helps to:
-
Strengthen and restore elasticity
-
Reduce breakage
-
Smooth and hydrate dry hair
-
Improve softness and shine
-
Seal the appearance of split ends
-
Keep hair feeling lightweight rather than heavy
Clinically proven to reduce split ends by 55% after one use
Clinical testing showed that the Recode Leave-In Hair Mask reduced the appearance of split ends by 55% after just one use.
This makes it an ideal treatment for hair that feels dry, damaged and prone to split ends.
How to use the Recode Leave-In Hair Mask
Start with a small amount — around 1–2 pumps depending on your hair's length and thickness.
Apply through the mid-lengths and ends, focusing on the areas that feel most dry or damaged. Work the product through the hair evenly and leave for around 5 minutes before styling.
The mask can also be used on dry hair when your lengths and ends need additional nourishment.
You don't need to use conditioner in the same routine as the Recode Leave-In Hair Mask. The mask is designed to provide an intensive treatment step, helping to hydrate, smooth and strengthen the hair.
Step 3: Apply Hair Oil to Dry and Damaged Ends
Hair oil can help add additional nourishment and smoothness to dry-looking lengths and ends.
For best results:
-
Start with one small pump.
-
Rub the oil between your hands.
-
Apply through the mid-lengths and ends.
-
Focus on areas that feel particularly dry or damaged.
-
Avoid applying directly to the roots.
For the smoothest finish, apply the Recode Hair Oil to damp hair before styling. This helps distribute the product evenly through the hair.
You can also apply a small amount to dry hair afterwards to help smooth flyaways and add additional shine.
Remember: when it comes to hair oil, less is more. Start with a small amount and add more only if needed.
