Bleached Hair Repair: How to Hydrate & Restore Damaged Strands

Bleached Hair Repair: How to Hydrate & Restore Damaged Strands

Why Bleached Hair Needs Special Care

Bleaching lifts hair cuticles to remove pigment, causing:

  • Severe moisture loss (up to 60% of natural oils stripped)
  • Weakened keratin bonds (leads to breakage)
  • High porosity (absorbs humidity but loses hydration fast)

Key Stat: 78% of color-treated hair suffers protein deficiency after bleaching.

5 Essential Steps to Repair Bleached Hair

1. Cleanse with a Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Why? Sulfates accelerate moisture loss.
Pro Tip:

2. Deep Condition 3x Weekly

Why? Bleached hair needs intensive hydration.
Application Hack:

        • Apply conditioner from mids to ends, then comb through.
        • Cover with a shower cap + warm towel for 15 mins.
        • Recommended Product: Evan Care Coconut Repair Mask (Tropical oils seal split ends).

3. Use Leave-In Treatments Daily

Best Ingredients for Bleached Hair:

        • Hyaluronic acid (binds 1000x its weight in water)
        • Argan oil (repairs UV/sun damage)
        • Hydrolyzed keratin (fills protein gaps)

4. Limit Heat Styling

Damage Control:

        • Always use heat protectant below 180°C.
        • Air-dry hair 80% before blow-drying.
        • Recommended Product: Skin Doctor Thermal Shield Spray (Paraben-free, vegan heat guard).

5. Schedule Monthly Trims

Why? Prevents split ends from traveling upward.
Salon Tip:

        • Ask for dusting trims (removes minimal length).
