Olaplex – No.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo 250 ML

Key Features and Benefits:

• Broad-Spectrum Clarifying System: Unlike a regular shampoo, this formula is engineered to effectively remove a wide range of buildup that can weigh hair down and make it look dull. This includes:
  • Product residue: From styling products, conditioners, dry shampoos, and other hair care products.
  • Hard water minerals: Deposits of calcium and magnesium that can accumulate over time and affect hair’s texture and shine.
  • Chlorine: A common culprit that can damage and dry out hair, especially for swimmers.
  • Pollutants and heavy metals: Environmental stressors that can cause hair to become lifeless and limp.
  • Excess oil: It effectively cleanses the scalp and hair, leaving them feeling refreshed.
• Olaplex’s Patented Bond-Building Technology: The shampoo contains Olaplex’s signature active ingredient, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. This patented molecule works to repair and rebuild broken disulfide bonds within the hair’s structure. These bonds are essential for hair’s strength, integrity, and elasticity, and they can be damaged by chemical treatments, heat styling, and environmental factors.
• Non-Stripping and pH-Balanced: A major advantage of this product is that it provides a powerful cleanse without the harsh, stripping effects often associated with traditional clarifying shampoos. It is pH-balanced to maintain the scalp’s natural balance and prevent a dry, “squeaky clean” or brittle feeling in the hair.

Use for Low Porosity Hair

For individuals with low porosity hair, this shampoo can be particularly beneficial. Low porosity hair has tightly packed cuticles, which makes it difficult for moisture and products to penetrate. This can lead to product buildup sitting on the hair shaft, making it feel heavy, greasy, or dry. A clarifying shampoo like Olaplex No. 4C can help in the following ways:

• Removes Buildup: It effectively removes the product buildup that low porosity hair is prone to, allowing the hair to feel lighter and more responsive.
• Allows for Better Product Absorption: By clearing the hair shaft, it creates a clean slate that allows subsequent moisturizing products to be absorbed more easily and effectively.
• Maintains Hydration: The non-stripping formula is key. It cleans deeply without making the hair feel brittle or straw-like, which is a concern for all hair types but especially low porosity hair that needs to retain moisture.
