If your hair has been chemically lightened, coloured, or bleached, you’ll know the struggle of keeping it strong, shiny, and healthy. Bleaching can strip the hair of moisture and weaken the cuticle, often leaving it prone to dryness, breakage, and frizz. The good news? With the right professional shampoos and treatments for damaged hair, you can bring your locks back to life.

At Bohairmia, we’ve spent over 36 years helping clients recover from chemically damaged and bleached hair. Our team recommends only the best professional colour-safe shampoos and salon treatments that are proven to restore strength and shine.

Best Shampoo for Chemically Damaged Hair

When your hair is fragile from colouring or bleaching, you need a shampoo that gently cleanses while delivering essential nutrients. Look for formulas enriched with proteins, keratin, or oils to rebuild and smooth the hair cuticle.

Bleached Hair Recovery Products We Recommend

• K18 Biomimetic Hair Science – A revolutionary leave-in treatment that works on a molecular level to repair keratin chains inside the hair. Perfect for bleached, highlighted, or colour-damaged hair.

• Olaplex No 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo – A salon-favourite shampoo that strengthens bonds while gently cleansing.

• Neal & Wolf Harmony Shampoo & Treatment – Specially formulated to repair damaged hair, leaving it silky, shiny, and manageable.

Professional Colour-Safe Shampoo UK

Using supermarket shampoos can strip away colour and moisture, making bleached hair even weaker. That’s why we always recommend investing in professional colour-safe shampoos available in the UK from salons like Antony’s. These formulas are designed to protect your colour while repairing and strengthening from within.

How to Repair Damaged Hair After Colouring

1. Switch to a bond-repair shampoo and conditioner – This protects your hair from further damage while strengthening the bonds broken during bleaching.

2. Add a weekly deep conditioning mask – A nourishing treatment restores hydration and elasticity.

3. Try an in-salon treatment – Options like K18, Olaplex, or a Neal & Wolf Repair Ritual can make a dramatic difference.

4. Avoid heat styling when possible – Let your hair recover naturally and always use a heat protector when styling.

For the fastest recovery, nothing beats a professional in-salon treatment. At Antony’s Hair Salon, we offer:

• K18 Peptide Treatment – repairs the innermost structure of bleached and chemically damaged hair.
