REF ProPlex is an essential tool for hairdressers. It adds elasticity, strength, enhanced condition and suppleness to the bleached or coloured result.
Through its cutting edge technology, ProPlex is a scientifically developed, hybrid cocktail that acts as a barrier; protecting the internal structure of the hair and preventing damage.
Mix ProPlex with hair colour or bleach to protect the hair and prevent damage to the hair strands while treating it.
REF ProPlex series contains three products: 01. Bonder, 02. Perfector and 03. Maintainer.
ProPlex has a scientifically developed formula. It contains a high concentration of 5 active ingredients – creating a powerful and effective treatment for the hair.
ProPlex penetrates the interior of the hair by reconnecting and repairing broken disulfide bonds.
1. Cutting edge technology uses high Amino Acid concentration along with Strengthening Quinoa protein and vegetable proteins.
2. Jojoba seed oil treats the cortex of the hair, adding shine and improving elasticity.
3. Vitamin E protects the hair, providing internal nourishment from the inside while its antioxidant properties help to neutralize any residual oxidation from colouring or bleach/lightening services.
4. Sunflower seed oil provides powerful, full spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection which can also protect natural hair colour from fading following UV exposure.
5. Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) spreads evenly on the surface of each hair strand, forming a smooth, protective shield.
This shield locks the other 4 ingredients into the hair strand–creating enhanced light-reflecting qualities.
Intermixed with the colour or bleach/lightener product, ProPlex reconnects bonds while protecting the existing internal structure of the hair.
Strengthening cream to cross-link bonds reconnected by 01 Bonder into the cortex, while delivering added hydration and nourishment.

+ For 60g or more of gloss or toner, add 4ml ProPlex 01. Bonder.
+ For anything less than 60g, add 2ml ProPlex 01. Bonder.
As a general rule, we recommend toning prior to using ProPlex 02. Perfector.
If your manufacturer’s instructions indicate to shampoo after toning: Rinse highlights, apply toner, process, rinse and shampoo, towel dry.
Apply 02. ProPlex Perfector. Allow the ProPlex Perfector to process for a minimum of 10 minutes before rinsing and conditioning as usual.
If your manufacturer’s instructions say to rinse – not shampoo after toning: Use 02. ProPlex Perfector before your toner. Rinse the highlights, towel dry, apply a generous amount of ProPlex Perfector for 10 or more minutes.
Rinse and towel dry.
NOTE: Be sure to rinse toner thoroughly to prevent any cream residue from causing a barrier from using the ProPlex. Rinse and condition as usual.
*We recommend adding ProPlex 01. Bonder to toners that will be on longer than 10 minutes.
Note: The use of ProPlex in a balayage formula with bleach powdered lightener may make the formula a bit looser. Therefore, you may wish to add additional powder lightener to create the consistency you prefer. This is acceptable.
The recommended formulas are:
+ For anything less than 30g of powder lightener, add 2ml ProPlex 01. Bonder.
+ For 30g–60g of lightener powder, add 4ml ProPlex 01. Bonder.
Add measured amount of ProPlex 01. Bonder to pre-mixed lightener and mix thoroughly.
Note: Choosing to bump (raise) the developer is a personal choice. We have excellent results using ProPlex 01. Bonder either way. If you choose to bump the developer:
Bump developer one full level.
For a 10vol. (3%) result, use 20vol. (6%)
For a 20vol. (6%) result, use 30vol. (9%)
For a 30vol. (9%) result, use 40vol. (12%).
You may also use REF Neutral to add some increased lift in your mixture.
Processing time of lightener:
This varies. Every head of hair is different. Any resistance to processing time may be solved by bumping your developer, adding REF Neutral to your formula, and/or cutting down the amount of ProPlex 01. Bonder.
