Caring for bleached hair

What changes in hair after bleaching

Bleaching changes more than colour. The hair surface becomes more open and uneven, so each strand loses moisture faster and holds smoothness less well. Hence the typical feel: straw-like lengths, dry ends, tangling after washing and a reaction to humidity.

Cosmetic care does not “repair” hair permanently — honestly, no product does. But the right care helps bring back softness, smoothness, easy detangling and a cared-for look, and keeps the lengths in good shape between salon visits.

Signs your lengths need richer care

If two or three of these sound familiar, bleached hair will most likely suit the rich Reconstruction PRO system.

• hair feels dry and rough even right after balsam;
• lengths frizz and tangle;
• combing has become harder and hair breaks;
• after regular bleaching or colouring the lengths feel weaker and less elastic;
• ends look dull and dry.

Which mask to choose

BioHydra Therapy — when dryness is moderate and lengths lack softness and elasticity: hydration, softness, elasticity, 1–2 times in 7 days.

Lipid & Protein Therapy — when dryness is pronounced and hair is porous, bleached or breaking: richer care for damaged lengths, once every 7–10 days.

For most bleached hair the base mask is Lipid & Protein Therapy. One wash, one mask: don’t use both at once.

Habits that protect bleached hair

• warm, not hot water — hot water dries the lengths further;
• don’t rub hair with a towel — gently squeeze or blot;
• comb from the ends up once balsam is on or the hair is slightly dry;
• heat protection every time, even for a “quick” blow-dry;
• don’t go to bed with wet hair — it is most vulnerable when wet;
• don’t overdo the mask: using a rich mask too often can weigh lengths down.
