Curl with Confidence USING OLAPLEX

Designed specifically for curly, coily, and wavy hair, the two-step system begins with its core in-salon service: the Bond Shaper™ Curl Rebuilding Treatment, which repairs your client’s natural curl. This is then quickly followed up at home with the retail No.10 Bond Shaper™ Curl Defining Gel — which instantly defines curls, leaving hair soft, manageable, and full of natural bounce.

In Salon: What is the new OLAPLEX Bond Shaper™ Curl Rebuilding System?

Designed to repair and rebuild the natural shape of hair’s waves, curls, and coils, the latest curl innovation from OLAPLEX provides your clients with long-lasting results that rebuild their hair from within.

As a salon pro, you’ll appreciate how this treatment will not only repair and strengthen hair’s disulfide bonds (the iconic OLAPLEX way) but also deliver weightless curl definition and hydration. The rebuilding system boosts the natural curl pattern while ensuring softer, shinier curls by sealing in moisture.

The formula’s ability to control hair frizz for up to 15 washes sets a new standard for lasting curl treatment and care, allowing your clients to enjoy their curls long after they leave your chair.

The Take Home: What is the OLAPLEX No.10 Bond Shaper™ Curl Defining Gel

Complementing the in-salon treatment, curly routines will receive a top-tier boost with OLAPLEX’s new at-home curl styling gel that delivers soft, smooth, and frizz-free curls. With a flexible, medium hold that keeps curls in place, it’s the ideal solution for clients who want defined curls without sacrificing softness and touchability.

Combined with patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™ and a curl retention compound that nourishes and enhances natural waves and coils, the gel repairs and relinks damaged disulfide bonds, helping to maintain and strengthen each curl's shape and structure. This unique blend ensures curls are not only defined but also healthier and more resilient.

Clinically proven to improve curl retention by 52% after just one use, this gel also offers up to 72 hours of humidity resistance and frizz control. Its hydrating texture provides optimal slip, lightly conditioning the hair while sealing in moisture for enhanced softness and shine.

How to Use the OLAPLEX Curl Rebuilding System (Treatment and Take-Home)

Implementing OLAPLEX’s curl treatments and take-home offering in your salon is straightforward and efficient. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure optimal results for your clients:

1. Prep

Start by preparing the curls for treatment. Use the No.4C Bond Maintenance® Clarifying Shampoo to deeply cleanse hair, removing any product buildup and impurities. For additional clarity, you may follow with the OLAPLEX Broad Spectrum Chelating Treatment if necessary.

2. Repair

Application: Dispense 50 mL of Bond Shaper™ Curl Rebuilding Treatment into an applicator bottle. Section the hair into four quadrants and apply the treatment evenly until all curls are saturated. Scrunch the curls upward to encourage definition.
Processing: Let the treatment process for 10 minutes without rinsing.

3. Enhance

Application: Spray the Enhancing Solution onto the curls in small sections until fully saturated. Scrunch to ensure even distribution.
Processing: Allow the solution to process for another 10 minutes. Do not rinse and move on to Step 4.

4. Define

Application: Evenly distribute the Defining Solution from root to tip using your hands. If needed, mist with a spray bottle to re-wet the curls.
Technique: Proceed with your preferred curl-defining technique. You may choose to air-dry or use a diffuser.
Post-Salon Treatment: For best results, advise clients not to wash their hair for 48 hours following the treatment.

5. Routine

After the in-salon treatment, encourage the use of the No.10 Bond Shaper™ Curl Defining Gel to maintain and refresh hair.

Application: Evenly distribute the styling gel from root to tip, adjusting the amount based on hair length and density. Scrunch curls upward to define.
Technique: Continue scrunching, then air-dry or use a diffuser for your preferred finish.
Finish: After drying, gently scrunch to break the gel cast for soft, touchable curls.
