I finally started nailing my hair routine during the last years. Before that, I pretty much just washed it off and let it do its thing – I didn’t really understand how or when to layer different styling products. Now, however, I cringe at the thought of going without leave-in conditioner and air dried cream after the shower, and I perfected my how to make my rash last (when I do, it is). Something else that I really like? Restorative treatments that not only improve the appearance of my hair, but also its very structure, such as the Living Proof Triple Bond Complex Leave-In Hair Treatment ($45).
There are a few peptide or bond repair leave-in treatments on the market right now, and I’m a big fan of most of them. When I heard that Living Proof was launching theirs, I couldn’t wait to try it out. Longtime fan of the brand (I have a reserve of Living Proof No Frizz Instant Anti-Frizz ($29) in my house for emergencies), I knew I would be impressed with the formula – and I was right.
When you first see a bottle of the Triple Bond Complex leave-in hair treatment, you might think it’s quite small, but that’s because a small amount of this cream is enough. The technology behind it is pretty cool: it helps rebuild your hair structure with its patent-pending technology by creating a 3D network for the hair follicle. It also contains encapsulated cellular oil to protect against UV and heat damage and a blend of biomimetic emollients to smooth your hair fibres, boosting softness and shine.
It may sound super complicated, but to sum it up: it makes your hair stronger after just one use, repairs split ends, protects against future damage and restores shine. It sounds too good to be true, I know, but after using it for the first time, I can confirm that it does what it promises. To use Living Proof Triple Bond Complex Leave-In Hair Treatment in your hair routine, simply wash and condition your hair as you normally would in the shower. Then on damp hair you comb two pumps all over your head (you can use more if needed but two is enough) and leave for 10 minutes. Once that time is up, you just need to give it a heat stroke with your hair dryer to seal it.
This last step is essential, because the technology is activated by heat. Fans of air-drying (like me), don’t worry: it only takes a minute of heat to work, so you can quickly blow-dry your head, then continue to let your hair dry as you usually would. .

Immediately after applying the Living Proof Triple Bond Complex Leave-In Hair Treatment, it was hard to tell the difference in my hair, but once it was completely dry, it was impossible to miss. My hair was softer than ever before and my ends, which were a bit dry before, were more hydrated. It also looked shinier and smoother because the leave-in treatment sealed my hair cuticle and reduced the frizz I usually see on my waves. This was after letting my hair air dry overnight.
The results of the Living Proof Triple Bond Complex leave-in hair treatment lasted for days after using it, which is great considering it’s designed for weekly application. It can be hard to see a noticeable difference in your hair after using a product just once, but this leave-in treatment really blew my mind.
