Dry After Highlights? | Lipid Complex

LIPID Complex
By Tomy B. Salon
What bleach really does to hair

Your highlights look amazing. Your hair hates you for it. Here's what I tell my clients.

Tomy B. applying the Lipid Complex treatment to a client

If your hair feels dry, rough, or like straw ever since the highlights — you're not imagining it. And it's not your colorist's fault. It's chemistry.

Here's what's really happening. To lift color out of hair, bleach has to open the cuticle and get inside. On the way, it strips out the lipids — the natural fats that hold each strand together and give hair its softness and shine. That's why colored hair drinks up conditioner and still feels rough by the afternoon.

Store products just coat the hair so it feels smooth for a day, then rinse away. The lipids are still gone.

In my salon, every color client gets the same aftercare. Lipid Complex is the exact treatment from my chair — made in Italy to a pharmaceutical-grade standard, in two simple packs.

Phase 1 rebuilds — floods your hair with the lipids the bleach took. Ten minutes.

Phase 2 seals — locks in softness, body, and shine that survives washes. Ten more, rinse.

Twenty minutes, once a month. Keep the highlights. Keep the shine. Your color will actually look better on healthy hair — that's not a slogan, it's just how light reflects.
