Rebonding is a quick option for those who want absolutely straight hair but are not born with it. The end result is poker straight hair. In this process, the bonds of your hair are broken with the help of a chemical formula and then again neutralisers are applied to restructure the bonds. By doing this, the existing bonds that exist in curly hair are broken and once the hair is straightened, new bonds are made to rearrange the physical structure of your hair. This is a more permanent method than keratin smoothening. This is a process of altering the chemical structure of hair so it becomes straight for a considerable period of time. Rebonded hair will certainly not trouble you too much if it’s taken care of in the right way.

Tips to keep in mind

  • ‘Ensure you apply trusted products during the treatment to minimise damage at the start. Use the right post-care products too, and use them properly. Any conditioner needs to be washed away completely as residue will cause itching, hairfall and dandruff,’ says Rod Anker, Creative Director of www.monsoonsalon.com and Vogue’s Colorist of the Year.

  • If your hair is not too greasy, refrain from shampooing every day. Try alternate days or co-washing – using conditioner as a shampoo and just rinsing it away.

  • Keep your hair safe from environmental factors – harsh sun, cold winds and rains. Use a hat or umbrella.

  • Hair serum creates a barrier between your hair and the outside and helps protect it better.

  • Pammy Kaul of Scratch Salons also advises, ‘Have your hair trimmed on a regular basis for preventing split ends.’

  • Use hair masks frequently or get hair spas done. Your hair needs moisture and nutrition regularly. In fact, Monsoon Salon & Spa offers six hair spas for the price of two – that means a whole two months of pampering your hair after rebonding them.’
