What are the benefits of Citric Acid and the Bonding Care Complex?

The Pre-Treatment’s formula with 14% Citric Acid + Bonding Care Complex strengthens weakened bonds. With particles small enough to penetrate the cortex, it works to rebuild internal bonds and give renewed strength to help futureproof against damage.

What is the difference between the Pre-Treatment and the Leave-In Treatment?

Our Acidic Bonding Concentrate Pre-Treatment has the highest concentration of Citric Acid which helps to strengthen weakened bonds and improve hairs strength and resilience, being the ultimate pre-treatment to help you bond in 1 step.

What are the main causes of damaged hair?

Healthy hair =4.5-5.5 pH level. Heat styling, coloring and chemicals make hair alkaline, which can lead to damage. The high concentration of Citric Acid in Acidic Bonding Concentrate helps return a healthy pH and smoothes hair surface = less breakage
