Man, your hair’s so weak. You other blondies probably know what I’m talking about: a couple of days after you color, you squeeze the ends of your hair and flinch. Your hair feels like superthin strands of uncooked pasta, ready to break off at any minute.
Unfortunately, wimpy, fragile hair like this and consistent coloring treatments go hand in hand. Hair becomes weak and thin from the use of alkaline products, which includes the ammonia in most hair coloring or perming chemicals.
Luckily, you don’t have to ditch that beautiful golden shade (biased? Me?) to strengthen your meek little locks. Simply pick products containing polymers!
“Cailin, I’m not a scientist and it’s been eight years since I took biology. Please remind me of what polymers are before I closing this window in 3…2…1…”
Okay, okay. Polymers are neat little compounds which behave like molecular puzzle pieces, snapping into their infinitesimal neighbors to create larger and stronger versions of themselves. Polymers make up products like plastic and resin, which should give you some idea of how they’ll form a thick, protective barrier around your tiny timid tresses. (Yes, I’ve resorted to alliteration. Sue me.)
For a product that’ll use polymers to fortify your wussy wisps into a manly mane of hair (I’m sorry, I can’t stop!), we recommend Kerastase Expanseur Extra-Corps Fortifying Care For Weakened Hair.
