Ready to try some Tough Love?
Not Your Mother’s Tough Love Intense Bonding Treatment is a pre-wash treatment that strengthens and repairs hair bonds in a single use. That’s because our bonding treatment delivers the highest concentration of Active Bonding Technology to protect bonds from initial breakage. It also repairs even severely damaged broken hair bonds, leaving you with softer, smoother, bouncier hair. Be sure to rinse out treatment before shampooing.
How to use: Use as a pre-wash treatment before every 3-4 shampoos. If your hair is very damaged, increase usage to every 2-3 shampoos.
Tough Love Bonding Shampoo is gentle enough to use every day, but tough enough to repair and strengthen your hair bonds while cleansing. You’ll notice that your hair immediately feels stronger, smoother, and more hydrated.
How to use: If you’ve used the treatment first, be sure to rinse out before wetting hair, lathering, and working through roots to ends. Rinse thoroughly.
Tough Love Bonding Conditioner can also be used daily, but try to avoid using it near the roots of your hair to avoid weighing hair down. We love the way this conditioner builds on the initial treatment of the shampoo for almost instant detangling.
How to use: Apply to freshly shampooed hair and work through to ends. Leave in your hair for at least 2 minutes before rinsing. You can leave in for about 5 minutes for an extra repair boost if needed.
Tough Love Leave-in Protector works even if you’re a mix-and-match hair products person. We absolutely love the way this post-wash, lightweight spray intensely conditions, while strengthening, repairing bonds, and protecting hair up to 450°F. So heat style away – we’ve got you and your hair covered.
How to use: Spray on clean damp hair (blot hair with towel instead of rubbing to keep hair smooth). Spray from mid-length to ends, avoiding roots. Gently comb through to distribute product. Style away! Your hair will look glossy and beautiful.
