Bond builders or bond realignment treatments for hair have changed the hairdressing industry. Since the first bond builder was created two years ago, the limitations of hair colouring has completely changed. Hair colourists can do more with their clients' hair while causing less damage. This means that clients can go lighter, faster and experiment with more colours, more often than ever before. And with Christmas and the New Year just around the corner, no doubt your clients will asking you to deliver big changes with stunning finishes - time to invest in one of these revolutionary products which not only improve coloured hair but can be used as a stand-alone service ensuring your clients feel a million dollars at their next festive party. We all know that these revolutionary treatments can all do the following:
  • Protect and strengthen hair during the colour and bleach process, reducing damage and breakage.
  • Give you more creative colouring options in salon.
  • Improve hair manageability and condition.
  • Can be used as a stand-alone service earning your business more money.
