The Best Bond-Building Hair Care Products

Bleach, dye, heat styling and the environment can all do a number on your strands. We're talking parched tresses, dullness, breakage and none of that healthy bounce you see in all those hair commercials. There's a little secret that'll help counteract all that damage. Bond-building hair care products.

"Hair bonding is a technology that can help restore strength, softness, smoothness and bounce to hair," says Dani Everson, Denver-based hairstylist and owner of Clementine's Salon. "These products, which typically take the form of masks, shampoos and conditioners, work to strengthen hair with ingredients that naturally occur in hair strands, just on a much deeper level."
