Bleaching can help you achieve the fabulous hair colour you’ve always wanted, but if you overdo it, it can leave your hair looking dry, frizzy, and unruly. And not only can excessive bleaching make your hair look unhealthy – it can actually make it more prone to breakage and further damage. The good news is, you can actually treat your damaged hair with salon treatments like the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment.
Hair treatments help to revive your hair and give it a smoother, shinier, and healthier texture. At PERFECT X HAIR, we offer various treatments depending on your hair concerns, and the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment is one of our most popular treatments.
If you’re struggling with extremely damaged hair from chemical services like bleaching or perms, hair treatments are truly a game changer. Here’s everything you need to know about the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment before you book your next appointment.
What is a Milbon Damage Repair Treatment?
The Milbon Damage Repair Treatment is a 4-step deep conditioning treatment from Japan meant for severely damaged, over-processed hair. If your hair is very damaged from excessive bleach, colour, perming, or even heat styling tools, this might be the perfect treatment to revive your hair. It leaves your hair looking and feeling nourished, smooth, and supple, while also strengthening it for long-lasting repair effects. It also works well on all hair types, whether you have fine or thick hair.
Milbon is a leading Japanese haircare brand well-respected by top salons around the world, and the Damage Repair Treatment uses Milbon’s most advanced technology to repair and reconstruct damaged hair from the inside out. The treatment deeply nourishes your hair strands, leaving it with renewed elasticity and resilience. It’s also infused with cationized keratin to protect your hair from further damage.
What causes hair damage?
Chemical services like colour, bleach, and perms disrupt your hair’s natural structure in order to change the colour or shape of the strands. This strips your hair of its moisture and can make it weaker, more brittle, and more prone to breakage and snapping. This is why it’s crucial to visit a salon that specializes in colour and perms, as an experienced stylist will be able to minimize any damage to your hair.
Whether you colour, bleach, perm, or heat style your hair regularly, your hair will naturally lose moisture and become more susceptible to damage over time. Regular hair treatments at the salon can help to keep your hair nourished, moisturized, and healthy, so your hair always looks and feels its best.
What are the steps of the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment?
So, what exactly happens during a hair treatment appointment? The Milbon Damage Repair Treatment involves four different steps, with each step utilizing a different product that targets a specific purpose:
- Primer
- Internal Repair
- Reconstructing Repair
- External Repair
The treatment begins with prepping and cleansing your hair for the treatment. The stylist will first cleanse your hair, then apply the Primer, which preps the hair and helps with absorption of the products in the following steps. You will then receive a relaxing scalp massage, which helps to stimulate the tissues and blood flow in your scalp.
Next, the stylist will apply the rest of the treatment products, each designed to target a different area of the hair. The Internal Repair is used to repair the hair strands from the inside out. The Reconstructing Repair targets the extremely damaged areas of the hair, enhancing the uniformity and smoothness of each strand. And finally, the External Repair seals the cuticle to lock in the treatment.
Once the treatment products have all been applied, your hair will receive a relaxing heated mist for about 10 minutes. “The mist helps the treatment penetrate deeper into the hair,” says Sarah, one of our stylists at PERFECT X HAIR. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the soothing mist.
Your stylist will then dry your hair and give you a fresh blowout. The Milbon Damage Repair Treatment leaves your hair looking and feeling soft and silky smooth, and you’ll immediately see and feel the results. If you started with straw-like hair, the smoother results will feel like a huge change.
The treatment appointment itself only takes around 45 minutes, so you don’t have to worry about spending hours in the salon chair.
Who is the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment for?
Not sure whether the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment is the right option for you? This treatment can be especially beneficial for your hair if you have any of the following:
Your hair is damaged from bleach, colour, or perming
Regularly bleaching, colouring, or perming your hair will likely cause damage, even when done by the most experienced professionals. Consistent hair treatments can help maintain healthy hair and keep it looking and feeling soft, hydrated, and nourished.
You use heat styling tools often
If you use heat styling tools on a regular basis, it can cause damage to your hair, and the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment can help to repair and strengthen it.
It’s your first time doing a hair treatment
If you’ve never done a professional hair treatment before, your stylist may recommend starting with the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment. Even if your hair isn’t severely damaged, the treatment can help to restore moisture and strengthen it to create a healthier foundation for your hair.
You don’t do hair treatments often
For anyone who doesn’t do hair treatments often, your hair may need more repair between each appointment,. The Milbon Damage Repair Treatment can help to revive your hair and make it more resilient.

Benefits of the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment
Hair treatments offer a variety of benefits, depending on the type you choose. Here are some of the benefits of doing a Milbon Damage Repair Treatment:
Replenishes moisture
Chemical services like bleaching and perming strip your hair of its moisture, which can lead your hair to become drier, frizzier, and more straw-like. Regular hair treatments can help to restore hydration and nourish it, giving you soft, silky-smooth hair.
Strengthens hair
The products used in the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment are specifically formulated to repair and strengthen your hair, helping to prevent it from further damage. If you’re someone who regularly gets colour or perms, a hair treatment can make a huge difference in giving your hair a healthy base for future services.
Easier to manage
After the hair treatment, your hair will be more hydrated, supple, and smoother, making it much easier to brush and style everyday. Fewer tangles and less time spent fighting with your hair – you’ll be wondering why you didn’t start doing treatments earlier.
How long do the results last?
One of the best things about the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment is that the results typically last longer than other hair treatments. “In general, the results last for about a month,” says Seyeon, one of our stylists at PERFECT X HAIR. If you’re someone who prefers to wait longer between appointments, a Milbon Damage Repair Treatment might be the right choice for you.
“Our Milbon treatment also comes with a 4-week home care program, so you’ll receive products to continue caring for your hair at home. With consistent home care, you can maintain the results throughout the month. After that, we recommend coming back for another treatment to keep your hair healthy and in its best condition,” says Seyeon.
It’s also important to keep in mind that different factors can also affect how long the results last, including:
- Your hair’s condition
- How often you wash your hair
- How often you bleach, colour, or perm your hair
- How frequently you heat style your hair
Following a good haircare routine at home and limiting excessive heat on your hair can help to extend the results of your treatment and keep your hair looking healthier between salon visits.
How often should you get a Milbon Damage Repair Treatment?
How often you should book a Milbon Damage Repair Treatment ultimately depends on your hair’s condition. Seyeon says: “If your hair is severely damaged, we recommend coming in at least once a month for regular treatments. Consistent maintenance will help restore and keep your hair healthy.”
If you’re not sure how often you should be getting hair treatments, you can consult with your stylist. They’ll let you know the best timeline based on your hair type and condition.
How do you maintain your results after the treatment?
Now that your hair is back to being healthy and hydrated, you’ll of course want to maintain the results for as long as possible before your next treatment. To help maintain the results for longer, we recommend doing the following:
Use moisturizing products for your hair
Invest in a shampoo and conditioner with nourishing ingredients to help keep your hair moisturized and soft. A good conditioner is especially key – it’s what helps keep your hair smooth, silky, and easier to brush.
When brushing your hair, you should also brush gently to minimize stress and damage to your strands. Brush in sections and start from the ends of your hair, slowly making your way up to the roots. If brushing while your hair is wet, take extra care, as your hair is more fragile and easier to break.
Limit use of heat styling tools
Applying heat on your hair can cause stress to it, so it’s recommended to limit the use of heat styling tools to reduce any potential damage. If you do choose to use heat styling tools, be sure to use a heat protectant spray first to protect your hair and minimize as much damage as possible.
Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase
You might be surprised to hear that the type of pillowcase you sleep with makes a difference to your hair. Because satin and silk pillowcases are smoother, they cause less friction when your head moves around at night, reducing frizzing and breakage in your hair. Haircare benefits – but in your sleep.
Get regular trims
Keep up with regular trims to remove any split ends or damaged hair. Split ends can travel up the hair shaft over time, causing more damage. Combined with hair treatments, regular trims can help to reduce breakage and keep your hair looking healthy.
Book regular hair treatment appointments
It’s recommended to book regular hair treatments at the salon to maintain healthy hair. The stylist may even recommend other treatments depending on your hair’s condition, as the Milbon Damage Repair Treatment is more specifically targeted for over-processed and severely damaged hair.
“If your hair is very damaged, frizzy, or tangles easily – especially if it’s fine hair – we recommend continuing with the Damage Repair Treatment on a regular basis. Once your hair becomes healthier through consistent care, you can switch to other Milbon treatments, such as the Extreme Moisture Treatment or Smoothing Treatment, depending on your hair’s needs,” says Seyeon.
