Is AirTouch Safe for Damaged Hair? What You Need to Know

If your hair is already feeling fragile — from bleach, heat styling, or chemical treatments — you might be wondering: Can I still get highlights without making it worse?

The answer is yes, and the solution might be the most advanced coloring method of 2025: AirTouch.

At Venelle Salon and Spa in Park Slope, Brooklyn, our clients come to us with one goal — gorgeous color without further damage. Here’s how AirTouch is changing the game for clients with compromised hair.


💨 What Is AirTouch?

AirTouch is a modern highlighting technique that uses a blow dryer (instead of teasing) to gently remove baby hairs and shorter strands before lightener is applied. This means:

  • Only the healthiest, strongest pieces of hair are lightened

  • There’s less stress on the scalp and no harsh tugging

  • Your stylist has more control over color placement, avoiding already weak areas

It’s a more thoughtful, more protective approach to highlighting — especially when compared to traditional foils or aggressive balayage.


🧪 Why It’s Gentler on Damaged Hair

When it comes to compromised hair, every little decision matters. AirTouch protects your hair through:

✅ Selective Coloring

By separating out finer, damaged hairs with air, we don’t overlap bleach on fragile areas. This minimizes breakage and keeps your ends healthier longer.

✅ No Backcombing

Traditional foils often require teasing, which can weaken already stressed hair. AirTouch eliminates that risk.

✅ Strategic Lightening

Our stylists can choose exactly where to lift color, avoiding overly processed zones. You get a beautiful result without pushing your hair to the limit.


🧴 Added Protection at Venelle

At Venelle Salon and Spa, we never compromise when it comes to the health of your hair. That’s why every AirTouch session includes:

  • Bond-building treatments (like Olaplex or K18) to strengthen strands during lightening

  • Custom glosses to tone and seal the cuticle

  • Nourishing masks for shine and hydration

  • Gentle, ammonia-free color formulations

We also offer post-color care plans with product recommendations to help you maintain healthy, strong, luminous hair between visits.


🙋‍♀️ Is It Right for Your Hair?

AirTouch is a safe and beautiful option if you have:

  • Overprocessed blonde ends

  • Color-corrected hair

  • Heat-damaged strands

  • Thin, breakage-prone hair

  • Grown-out or uneven balayage

  • Hair recovering from bleach or keratin treatments

That said, a professional consultation is key. We’ll evaluate your hair’s condition, create a custom plan, and always prioritize your hair’s health before color.
