Wellaplex is a revolutionary bond-strengthening treatment offered by Kenneth’s Salons & Day Spas. Designed to repair and fortify hair during chemical processes like coloring or lightening, this innovative service reconstructs hair bonds, leaving your locks stronger, healthier, and more resilient. Whether you’re looking to go lighter with your hair color or simply want to improve the overall condition of your hair, Wellaplex provides the perfect solution for minimizing damage and achieving stunning results.
What Is Wellaplex?
Wellaplex is a three-step professional hair treatment developed by Wella Professionals. It targets and repairs bonds within the hair structure that are damaged during chemical treatments such as bleaching, coloring, or heat styling. The treatment consists of:
- Bond Maker: Creates new bonds within the hair during chemical processes to prevent breakage.
- Bond Stabilizer: Strengthens the newly formed bonds and rebalances the pH of the hair for optimal health.
- Hair Stabilizer: A take-home product designed to maintain the effects of the salon treatment by keeping hair smooth, strong, and soft between appointments.
How Does Wellaplex Work?
Wellaplex works by reinforcing the protein structure of the hair through cross-linking technology. During chemical treatments like coloring or bleaching, bonds within the hair shaft can break, leading to weakened strands and damage. Wellaplex addresses this issue by creating new bonds while strengthening existing ones.
Here’s how the process unfolds:
- In-Salon Application:
- The Bond Maker is mixed with a lightener or color product during your service to protect the hair while achieving your desired look.
- After rinsing out the color or bleach, the Bond Stabilizer is applied to strengthen the bonds further and rebalance the pH of your hair.
- At-Home Maintenance:
- The Hair Stabilizer is used weekly on towel-dried hair after shampooing to maintain smoothness, strength, and softness until your next salon visit.
