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.
