Key Ingredients in the OLAPLEX Bond Shaper™ Curl Rebuilding Treatment

1. BIS-AMINOPROPYL DIGLYCOL DIMALEATE: Patented Bond-Building Technology™ that re-links broken Disulfide Bonds.

2. BOND SHAPING TECHNOLOGY: A unique peptide composed of 23 amino acids capable of penetrating deep within the cortex to help replenish lost keratin while locking and
shaping disulfide bonds into place for enhanced curl definition.

3. COCONUT-AVOCADO HAIR MILK: High in lauric acid, fatty acids, and essential vitamins to help fortify hair and reduce breakage while providing nourishment and conditioning for softer, shinier-looking hair.

 

“This is a game-changer for curls, working with your client’s natural curl pattern instead of fighting against it!”

How to use OLAPLEX Bond Shaper™ Curl Rebuilding Treatment

Preparation

BOND SHAPER™ CURL REBUILDING TREATMENT should be used on deeply clean curls. Before treatment, cleanse curls with No.4C Bond Maintenance® Clarifying Shampoo to remove product buildup and damaging impurities. If needed, follow with OLAPLEX Broad Spectrum Chelating Treatment as directed.

Step 1: Repair

Dispense 50mL* into an applicator bottle. Section curls into four quadrants and apply STEP 1 until curls are evenly saturated. Scrunch curls in an upward motion to encourage curl definition. Process for 10 minutes. Do not rinse.
*Amount depends on length and density of hair. For short lengths, use less product. For long or dense lengths, add more product as needed.

Step 2: Enhance

Spray STEP 2 in small sections until all curls are saturated. Scrunch curls to ensure the product is properly worked through. Process for 10 minutes. Do not rinse.

Step 3: Define

Using your hands, evenly distribute STEP 3 in sections from root to tip. If needed, mist curls with a spray bottle to re-wet them. Proceed with the desired curl-defining technique. Air dry or use your preferred drying method. For best results, do not wash curls for 48 hours.
