Chemically Treated Hair
Care shaped by your
chemical-service history.
Chemically treated hair includes hair that has been coloured, bleached, permed, relaxed or straightened. These services can change the way hair feels and behaves, so care should consider both your recent treatment and what you plan to do next.
●
What the concern means
Chemically treated hair has undergone a service intended to change colour, shape or texture. Needs vary widely by process, frequency and starting condition.
●
Professional salon approach
A stylist reviews service history, visible condition and future plans before choosing compatible repair-, hydration- or strengthening-focused care.
●
Daily home approach
Use gentle cleansing, regular conditioning, controlled heat and products confirmed as appropriate for the service received.
●
Plan the next service
Tell your stylist about previous colour, bleach, perm, relaxer, straightening and at-home chemical use before proceeding.

Use a consistent conditioning routine, careful heat and mechanical handling, and products verified as compatible with the service.
Is chemically treated hair always damaged?
Not necessarily, but chemical services can increase stress. Condition and care needs should be assessed individually.
When should another chemical service be delayed?
A stylist may advise delaying when hair shows increased fragility, breakage or poor manageability after assessment.
