Hot take: Those $400 bond treatments aren't saving damaged hair, they're masking it
I worked on a client in Austin last month who'd been getting that luxury bond stuff every 6 weeks for a year. Her hair looked great in the chair photos but the second we washed and air dried it, the same breakage patterns showed up from her 2018 bleach damage. It's like putting a good foundation over a breakout, it hides the texture until the product fades. Am I the only stylist who thinks we should push for real trims and lower heat routines instead of selling these pricey fixes?
