BONDING Heroes

From back-bar essentials to retail add-ons, these bonding products strengthen hair, protect colour results and create low-effort, high-return service upgrades

1 Goldwell

The Goldwell DUALSENSES Bond Pro peptides and amino acids penetrate into the hair cortex, targeting the damaged areas. Compounds of red and brown algae extracts form ionic and hydrogen bonds, embedding these peptides in the inner cortex, making the hair fiber stronger and more resilient, and fortifying hair from the inside out.

2 Revlon Professional

Formulated with bond multiplying molecules, amino acids, Omega-9 and AHAs, the 100% vegan, silicone-free Revlon ProfessionalTM RE/START Bond Repair collection provides salon professionals with skincare-inspired treatments that deliver visible results from the very first use.

3 Überliss

Designed to strengthen the hair from the inside out, the Überliss As I Am Bond range helps protect, repair, and future-proof hair affected by colour, chemical services, heat, and everyday manipulation.

4 Schwarzkopf Professional

The new Schwarzkopf Professional Bonding Technology creates a protective layer around the hair bonds during the lifting and lightening process, helping to minimise hair breakage while maintaining the same trusted performance professionals expect.

5 Aveda

The Aveda Botanical Repair™ Bond-Building Pre-Shampoo Treatment is vegan, 97% naturally derived and provides intensive repairing power, building new bonds within the hair cortex for restorative strengthening.

6 Keratin Complex

Vitalshot is a simple add-on for all colouring and lightening processes from Keratin Complex. Eliminating the need to change colour formulations or extend processing times.

7 Innoluxe

Innoluxe brings together elements of protein and conditioning technology and packs them into this fabulous leave-in treatment. The Elixir V3 means that clients can maintain hair condition between appointments.

8 OLAPLEX

Powered by Biomimetic Cuticle Technology, these OLAPLEX salon-first masks are clinically proven to rebuild and reinforce the cuticle, the hair’s first line of defence, in as little as three minutes. The results last up to five washes.

9 Bumble and bumble

The Bumble and bumble Bond-Building TripleBond range delivers instant 2× shine compared to unwashed hair. Powered by the Honey Bond-Building TripleBond Complex, it strengthens hair by building all three essential bond types.

10 K18

K18 Leave-In Repair Mask, in partnership with Future Society, works at a molecular level to repair broken polypeptide chains by reconnecting vertical polypeptide bonds and restoring disulfide bonds.

11 OSMO CHROMAPLEX

Enables the strengthening and restructure of hair bonds throughout the colouring or lightening process. This straightforward treatment system is the ultimate secret weapon for hair professionals.
