Key Technology

• Patented Bond RX Technology – uses a specialised protein-silicone bond builder that targets chemically weakened and damaged bonds within the hair fibre, helping restore strength and elasticity. The complete system consists of Step 1 and Step 2.
• Cystine Bis-PG-Propyl Silanetriol – a key bond-building ingredient in the formula, designed to strengthen and protect chemically stressed hair fibres.

How to Use

1. Add 3.75 ml of Step 1 per scoop of lightener or per 30 ml of permanent hair colour.
2. Apply the mixture and leave it to process according to the standard instructions for the colour or lightener.
3. Once the chemical treatment is complete, shampoo the hair thoroughly.
4. Always follow with Paul Mitchell Bond RX Professional Bond Building Sealant as the second step of the system.

The product can also be used as a standalone professional strengthening treatment. In this case, the application procedure differs from its use during colouring or lightening, and the treatment must still be followed by Step 2 – Paul Mitchell Bond RX Professional Bond Building Sealant.
