2. Choose products wisely- Chemical treated hair are extra sensitive and thus the products that you use on them needs to be chosen wisely. After getting your hair rebonded you cannot use your regular shampoo and conditioner as these will not fulfil the needs of chemically treated hair. You can ask your hair stylist to recommend a shampoo and conditioner depending on the condition of your hair. Also, make it a point to use a hair serum after washing your hair and avoid washing your hair too often.
