The trinity of olive oil, a potent peptide complex, and glucose-based technology heralds healthy hair days… Love Beauty & Planet’s all-new Bond Repair line-up targets broken hair bonds via a nature-powered concoction to undo seemingly irreversible damage. The science-backed formulas penetrate deep within the hair shaft, forming new hydrogen and salt bonds to restore resilience and strength.
Lucky for me, I got my hands on this launch well before it hit stores; after laborious testing, I have logged my thoughts and findings below for you. But before diving into my honest takeaway, let’s explore the ABCs of hair damage.
The A To Z Of Hair Bonds
For the uninitiated, there are primarily three types of hair bonds: ionic, hydrogen, and disulphide bonds. While hydrogen bonds are easily damaged with harsh water or heat styling, ionic and disulphide bonds break in the face of more severe chemical treatments like bleaching, or excessive heat styling.
Here’s where peptides come in. Containing lysine, a vital building block for protein formation, peptides promote overall skin, scalp, and hair health. Plus, olive oil – being a rich source of lipids – smoothens the hair and facilitates shine. A medley of peptides and olive oil aids in intensifying hair hydration, growth, volume and density, and protects the mane from pollutants, too.
Love Beauty & Planet Olive Oil & Peptide Bond Repair Sulfate-Free Shampoo
Trust this hard-working potion to nourish and strengthen your mane all while penetrating hair fibres and building new bonds for damage reversal. The no-nasties, 100% vegan shampoo claims to reverse 3x damage, improve hair strength by 50%, and increase hair shine by 50% in just one wash. I’m certainly among the 90% of consumers who witnessed a significant difference within a week!
Love Beauty & Planet Olive Oil & Peptide Bond Repair Hair Mask
This ultra-nourishing, luscious formula helps protect against hair damage for up to 10 washes. Yes, you heard that right. Promising visible damage repair after a single wash, ensure you apply the mask before your conditioner and not after – I learnt from my mistake. Shampooing causes the hair follicles to expand, so slathering the hair mask immediately after your wash will aid the conditioning agents to penetrate deeper.
Love Beauty & Planet Olive Oil & Peptide Bond Repair Conditioner
Lock in abundant moisture with this last step of your bond repair regime. Love Beauty & Planet’s Olive Oil & Peptide Bond Repair Conditioner delivers on the promise of fortified, smooth hair after just one wash. Take a generous dollop on your palm and apply it along the lengths and ends, consciously avoiding the scalp to prevent greasiness.
It’s that simple! Three steps to your healthiest hair yet. Do you know what I also love about Love Beauty & Planet? Their sustainable practices are in pursuit of reducing their carbon footprint. Conscious consumers must note that each of the bottles is made from 100% recycled plastic. Essentially, Love Beauty & Planet isn’t solely good for your hair but for the environment, too.
