The Complete Hair Treatment Guide at The Color Bar
With so many salon hair treatments that are commercially available, do you ever wonder what is the best hair treatment that matches your current hair condition vs your goal for your hair?
We compiled a simple guide to make it easier for you to decide on what hair care treatment suits you (now). At THE COLOR BAR, we offer no-frills, simple and basic hair treatments that have been proven to be most effective.
It is also important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all hair treatment that can do wonders for all hair types and hair conditions. This is a common misconception.
Salon hair treatment services are highly dependent on the product that is used. But in so being, if it happens that a certain hair treatment did not meet your expectation, it’s never simply the fault of the product or the fault of the one who applied the treatment. A big driver of the result is really your hair condition and how you take care of your hair after the treatment.
And in some cases, it’s a case of mis-match or in a common local term “hindi hiyang”. This is why it is best to have an open-mind everytime you try a salon hair treatment.
The following are the treatments that are available at THE COLOR BAR:
Now on to the guide…
If you want to treat unruly, frizzy or manageable hair, the best hair treatment would be a Hair Smoothing or Smoothening treatment. While it’s a temporary hair treatment, over the years, more and more that we are seeing products being developed in the market that lessens or even eliminates formaldehyde solution to saturate the hair strands. So always look for a safer alternative with formaldehyde-free or formaldehyde-less products for your hair smoothing.
Hair Smoothing is a quick fix for someone considering hair straightening and options may vary in terms of the final finish of your hair. It does not alter the structure of the hair drastically, which normally what happens in a usual Hair Straightening treatment. When cared properly, the result of this treatment could last up to 6 months.
At The Color Bar, you may choose from the following options for Hair Smoothing:
These smoothing treatments are available at all our branches – Forbes Town BGC, Estancia Capitol Commons and Molito Lifestyle Center Alabang.
For dry, brittle and dull hair caused by the environment, pollution, chemical treatment, heat styling and even bad care habits, Hair Hydration is a treatment to restore hair healthy and leave it looking great. When done regularly, it is a treatment to keep hair moist by deeply moisturizing and hydrating the hair to restore its natural moisture balance. For dry hair, it gives the wetness that it needs. Other benefits include improving elasticity, stops tangling and helps hair growth.
Depending on the branch (of The Color Bar) that you will visit, these are the products that we use for Hair Hydration.

Now it’s possible that your hair can be more than just frizzy or brittle or dry, and that it could be damaged. The common causes of hair damage include (1) mechanical damage (brushing, hair ties, extension, and overall friction); (2) thermal damage (flat and curling irons); and (3) chemical damage (overly bleached or processed hair); and, or even sometimes a combination of all. For compromised hair, the best in-the-moment treatment would be a Hair Repair treatment. To understand a Hair Repair treatment is to also know that most of the time repairing damaged hair is a journey of consistency and persistence in applying the right method to repair hair.
At The Color Bar, we have the traditional hair repair treatment that is best to treat damaged or compromised hair due to mechanical and thermal damage.
Depending on the branch (of The Color Bar) that you will visit, these are the products that we use for Hair Repair.

For compromised hair due to chemical damage, we recommend a Bond Builder or a a Molecular Repair Treatment
This is a treatment to help boost/repair and damage prevention. This is especially true for hair after bleaching, highlighting, or any dye-processing. At the The Color Bar, it’s a treatment that we highly recommend for anyone going for a bleach process as it helps prevent broken protein bonds. With a bond builder, your hair will benefit from less frizz, increased shine, smoothness, decreased dye fading, damage-prevention, restored color, conditioned hydration.
For all branches of The Color Bar, these are the Bond Builder Products that we use for our treatments:

Another breakthrough in the hair industry is Molecular Repair Treatment – it’s a Peptide that penetrates in the innermost part of the hair. Our hair is made of keratin peptide, and these polypeptides are responsible for the elasticity and strength of our hair. During chemical services such as bleaching, the hair becomes vulnerable and weak because it breaks the disulfide bonds, so with this treatment it will help strengthen the bonds during the service maintaining the integrity of our hair. Since it’s a peptide it mimics the hair structure and protects our hair.
For all branches of The Color Bar, we use:
