Bond Repair Technology
Hair can contain millions of internal bonds that contribute to its structure and strength. Colouring, bleaching and repeated heat or mechanical styling can weaken these bonds over time.
The Elvive Bond Repair range uses a Citric Acid-based Bond Repair complex. The pre-shampoo treatment is designed to penetrate the hair fibre and help reinforce weakened bonds before cleansing.
Key Ingredients
- Citric Acid – The key ingredient behind the Bond Repair range. Its small molecular size allows it to penetrate the hair fibre, where L'Oréal says it helps reinforce weakened internal bonds.
- Glycerin – A humectant that helps attract moisture and contributes to a softer, more conditioned hair feel.
- Cetearyl Alcohol – A fatty alcohol that conditions and softens hair while giving the treatment its creamy texture.
- Behentrimonium Chloride – A conditioning ingredient that helps improve detangling, smoothness and manageability.
How to Use
Before shampooing, wet the hair thoroughly and apply the treatment generously from roots to ends. Leave on for 5 minutes, then rinse.
Follow with Elvive Bond Repair Shampoo and Bond Repair Conditioner for the complete routine.
