So far this year, nearly a ⅓ of the services booked at Atelier Emmanuel are color and chemical services such as perms or keratin treatments.
If you are among this clientele, this product review's especially for you: Bumble and bumble (Bb) Mending line is specifically for clients who regularly color, straighten or perm their hair.
After repeated coloring, bleaching, straightening and curling, the hair loses its strength, shine and sparkle. These services damage the hair internally and externally by opening the cuticle and damaging the cortex.
The Bumble and bumble Mending line repairs, strengthens and protects the hair from future damage. It is ultra mild and moisturizing.
- Mending Shampoo and Conditioner can be used whenever you wash your hair.
- The Mending Complex can be used daily: make sure you use enough to coat the hair and apply it evenly. It can be used either on damp or dry hair, no rinsing required.
- The Masque is a once a week application. Massage it well into the hair while applying it, then leave it on 10 minutes before rising it out.
Most of our stylists have been using the mending line regularly with their clients. This is what they think of this line:
George Falcon, Senior Stylist: “Love it! This line is one the best lines I have ever used. It is perfect for over processed, heavy, thick, unruly, frizzy hair. I use the shampoo and conditionner on many of my clients. The tagline says it is for ‘(truly) damaged hair’ but clients do not need to have a lot of damage to use it. It contains sulfate which helps cleanse the follicle, which should be done on every hair, at least once in a while. It is very moisturising and will make any hair shiny.
I recommend they alternate this line with the Bb Concen Straight line, released recently. I don't recommend this line to clients with fine hair though.”
James McKey, Senior Stylist: “It’s my go to shampoo now. Mending is great for damaged hair. Recently, I used the shampoo and conditionner on a client with very fried hair: after brushing, combing and blowdrying the hair, the damaged was gone and there were absolutely no tangles. Also, bear in mind that it is a wear and care line. It is not just a one time effect. The line does repair the hair overtime: one of my clients who has been purchasing it at the salon for a few months mentioned that since she has been using it, her hair feels very soft, completely different.”
Paul, Junior Stylist: “Mending clearly smoothes and softens the hair without giving too much slick. If everyone can use it, two types of clients in particular should be using it: clients with damaged hair and clients who tend to wait a long time (ie 3 or 4 months) between their hair cuts.”

sigh. and, why is it so expensive?
Hi there. Thank you for your comment.
Bumble and bumble is a little more expensive, depending on what you are used to buying. But they are very much in line with all the top, quality salon brands.
Some things to know: their products are manufactured in the US (not in China, contrary to many other manufacturers). Because Bb wanted to develop a reparative line that actually does repair hair in and out, their Research and Development team spent a long time developing the new formula. Bb doesn’t release new products nearly as frequently as other brands, because of the effort they put into making them great before release. When you buy Bb you’re buying a solid brand with real ethics and science backing up its products.
