Will Highlights Damage My Hair?

Highlights are a fantastic way to add dimension and brightness to your hair, but many clients worry about the potential damage. At Salon Eighty8, we take every precaution to ensure your hair stays healthy, shiny, and strong throughout your coloring journey. Here's everything you need to know about highlights and how to protect your hair.

The Truth About Highlights and Hair Damage

While the highlighting process involves lightening sections of your hair, which can potentially weaken the strands, damage is not inevitable. The key lies in using professional techniques, high-quality products, and protective treatments to minimize harm. At Salon Eighty8, we prioritize the health of your hair by integrating bond-repairing products and offering services designed to maintain your hair's integrity.

Protect Your Hair with Professional Treatments

To counteract any potential damage from highlights, we recommend adding one of our specialized in-salon treatments to your service:

  • K18 Repair Treatment: This innovative treatment works at the molecular level to repair keratin bonds, restoring strength and softness to hair damaged by lightening or chemical processes.

  • Epres Bond Repair: Protect your hair during the highlighting process by reinforcing bonds and maintaining the structural integrity of your hair.

  • Infrared Conditioning Mask: Deeply hydrate and rejuvenate your hair with our infrared treatment, perfect for restoring moisture and shine after highlighting.

  • Moisture Steam Conditioning Mask: Infuse your hair with essential hydration using steam, which improves manageability and elasticity.

Pro Tip: Add a treatment to your highlight package or book a blowout with a treatment add-on for a complete hair care experience.

Maintain Healthy Hair at Home

Keeping your hair healthy between appointments is just as important as the salon service itself. Here are our top recommendations for maintaining your highlights at home:

  • Moisturizing Shampoos and Conditioners: Protect and hydrate your hair with products specifically designed to replenish moisture and maintain softness.

  • K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask: Continue repairing your hair with this at-home treatment that rebuilds keratin bonds in just four minutes.

  • Epres Bond Repair Treatment: Strengthen and protect your hair between salon visits with this easy-to-use bond-repairing spray.
