After Rebounding Do’s & Don’ts

Rebonding is a quick option for anyone who is dreaming of having poker-faced straight hair. Rebonding is much different than its counterparts smoothening and keratin. In this process, the hair bonds are broken down with chemical formula than then neutralizers are used for restructuring the bonds. This process breaks down the bonds of the curly hair and restructures them into straight hair changing the physical structure of the hair. This method offers even straighter hair texture than the other two counterparts. Although, rebounding needs a lot of aftercare. So, if you are planning to go for a rebounding treatment, know about the hair care after rebounding that you will need.

1. Always use a shampoo and conditioner designed for chemically treated hair. These shampoos are more gentle and conditioning. Check with your stylist for the best product that suits your hair.
2. Always make it a habit to deep-condition your hair every week. Use a protein-enriched conditioner to add the needed dose of moisture and hydration after the treatment.
3. Always use henna wax or hair cellophane once in a month to add shine to your hair.
4. Always use a hair serum to safeguard your hair cuticles from the stress and breakage of everyday brushing and combing.
5. Always trim your hair every 4-6 months to make sure that you don’t end up with having split ends. As split ends move up to hair shaft and even cause more damage.
6. Head for a touch-up treatment to the salon after six months to make sure that your hair remains smooth and silky.
7. Avoid using hot water for hair as it can damage the hair and break down the chemically treated structures.
8. Always shampoo every third day to retain the hair structure and moisture. Use cold water to rinse out.
9. If you get wet in the rain, take a shower as the pollutants from the rain can be damaging and cause breakage.
10. Make use of a wide comb and say no to a hairbrush.
11. Never wash your hair after getting it treated for at least 72 hours. Don’t take up any activity that makes your hair sweaty.
12. Avoid using a shampoo for the first week after rebounding.
13. Say no to any styling tools like blow dryers, curlers, etc.
14. Avoid taking any chemical treatments like perming, coloring, highlighting, for at least two months.
15. Avoid swimming up to two weeks after treatment. This is because swimming water has high chlorine content that can damage your hair. Same goes with beach water.
16. Cover your hair when going out in the sun to save it from the UV rays damage.
17. Avoid using steam in hair as any heat in the hair can damage the chemically treated hair bonds.
