Can You Perm or Rebond Bleached Hair?

Dreaming of New Curls or Super-Straight Hair? Perms and Rebonds Explained!

Are you dreaming of new curls or super-straight hair? Perms and rebonds can help you achieve that! However, if you have bleached hair, especially if it's been bleached twice or more, your stylist might say "no." But why is that? Let’s break it down in simple terms.

What Bleaching Does

Bleaching opens up your hair cuticle and strips away its natural color. This process leaves your hair much weaker, more porous (like a sponge!), and incredibly delicate.

What Perms/Rebonds Do

Perms and rebonds use chemicals to break down your hair's inner structure. They then rebuild it into a new shape, whether curly or straight. This is a significant, permanent change to your hair!

The Big Problem - Already Weak Hair

Bleached hair is like a flimsy bridge. Your hair has essential "bridges" inside that provide strength. Unfortunately, bleach has already broken many of these.

Adding more chemicals to already-damaged, bleached hair is simply too much! It’s like trying to break a bridge that’s already crumbling. The chemicals have nothing strong left to work with, and they just dissolve what little strength remains.

The Result? Over-Processed Hair

When hair is over-processed, it absorbs chemicals far too quickly, and there’s no turning back.

What Actually Happens? (The Scary Truth)

You might end up with "chewing gum hair." When wet, your hair can turn into a sticky, stretchy mess that feels like chewing gum. This indicates that its structure is literally melting away. In the worst cases, your hair can completely break off right then and there.

So, What CAN You Do? (Safe Options!)

Your stylist cares about your hair! When we say "no," it's because we want your hair to remain healthy, not ruined.

For Smoother, Straighter Hair

Vokanic Treatments are the best option. These treatments are not permanent straightening solutions, but they can smooth frizz and add shine. Your stylist can assess whether your bleached hair is healthy enough for this treatment.

The Most Important Step: Repair!

The first step is to focus on intensive care! Ask your stylist about professional bond-building and protein treatments. These treatments will help rebuild the strength your hair lost from bleaching. With patience and proper care, you can restore your hair's integrity!
