10 Bond-Boosting Must-Haves

January 31, 2025

Healthy hair starts at the root, and that means having hair that has strong bonds. Over time, these bonds can become brittle and break down, resulting in dry, damaged hair. Bond builders essentially help to “re-weld” those broken hair bonds from root to tip, protecting each strand from future breakage that results from hair treatments, heat, the environment, and more. Here are 10 amazing products that will help revitalize hair bonds for strong, healthy hair. —Jennifer Cox
