PRE-WASH TREATMENT

50g | Multiple Uses

For limp, lifeless waves and curls that drop between washes. This protein-only, pre-wash treatment rebuilds curl strength and structure, so your pattern holds for longer.

In a heatproof jug, mix 3 tsp powder with 100 ml cold water and rest for 15 mins. Carefully add 200 ml just-boiled water, stir, then set aside to cool fully (triple-check temperature). Once absolutely cool, with no hot spots. Pour evenly over dry hair, tie up, and leave at least 1 hour minimum, ideally 4 hours or more.

Rinse thoroughly, then continue your washday (Step 1 Cleanse → Step 2 Condition → styling).

Bounce Back Protein Treatment is Step 6 in our 6-Step Cycle (1 Cleanse → 2 Condition → 3 Style → 4 De-Frizz → 5 Refresh → 6 Treat).
