The 10 best consolidation treatments to get hair stronger than ever
Changing hair color and playing with hot tools seems like a good time – until you’re faced with breakage, split ends and serious damage. Bleach, the most dangerous agent, removes the hair’s natural pigment at the cuticle, which can lead to dry, brittle strands, while perms or straighteners break the bonds that make hair shiny and strong. Add to that regular heat styling and you have a recipe for hair disaster. Luckily, all those broken bonds that lead to less-than-healthy hair can be fixed in your own bathroom. We’ve compiled our 10 favorite home treatments to strengthen hair bonds when your hair needs a serious boost.
