We're sure it'll come as no surprise that we've chosen an Olaplex product for our top spot! Not only are they the market leaders, but all of their formulas are 100% cruelty-free and vegan. As we mentioned earlier, Olaplex use a patented restorative ingredient (bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate) which is scientifically proven to be 68% more effective than other bonding treatments at repairing your hair. I’ve been using the shampoo and conditioner for 2 weeks and have used the treatment 3 times, which is enough to get a real feel for it. Product costs

A daily restorative conditioner that will hydrate and strengthen bonds between salon visits and styling, so you can hold onto your favourite shade and style without the fear of damaging your hair beyond repair.The Inkey List has become a staple of the skincare scene in recent years, but did you know they make hair products too? This lightweight spray contains both PCA andhydrolyzed pea protein, whichnot only repair hydrogen and ionic bonds but also protect existing disulphide bonds from damage. Bonding treatments are designed to work on all kinds of hair, so you don't need to worry too much about your texture, length or colour. In fact, shampoos and conditioners with bond-building ingredients should have the same effect on colour-treated and virgin hair alike.

You may find formulas that not only repair damage to your hair but also protect it against future damage. Hair is important, isn't it? Bright colours and bold cuts can be used as a form of self-expression and styling can boost your confidence... but add them all together and there's no denying, dryness, dullness and split ends from exposure to heat and repeated dyeing could be damaging your hair. But all is not lost! Revolution Haircare has created a restoring range of targeted, results-driven formulas that cover all bases, from deep conditioning and increasing tress strength to enhancing shine and reducing frizz. Read on to find out more about the range and how you can use them as part of your haircare routine. Revolution Haircare's Plex range is made up of four formulas (steps 3, 4, 5 and 6) that contain a triple weight molecular protein system that targets different layers of the hair fibre to help restore and strengthen your strands from within. Now for the technical bit. The protein system is made up of three types of plant protein that target different parts of the hair fibre – phytantriol and provitamin B5 work together to keep the hair nice and hydrated and healthy, whilst a blend of conditioning agents help soften and smooth the hair. Suitable for all hair types, steps 3, 4, 5 and 6 treatments are all SLS and SLES free, as well as being cruelty-free and vegan, too! It’s important not to overtreat your hair, as protein treatments can damage your hair with overuse. Only do protein treatments when your hair needs it, and always allow for at least a week between treatments.

Your hair type should factor into the protein treatment you choose. Not all treatments will work for all hair types, despite what the label says.
