One thing you should know about achieving healthy hair is that lightening can cause a lot of damage. Lightening will break apart the proteins in your hair to remove its natural colour. You should be mindful of what is being used on your hair for lightening, perming, colouring, and also relaxing. Aside from hair breakage, you may also experience increased levels of frizz and dryness.

Luckily, there’s Novaplex!

De Lorenzo’s Novaplex is a premium bond linking system designed to build strong bonds and improve hair integrity during chemical processes. Compatible with all hair types and textures, Novaplex penetrates deep into the cortex to protect existing bonds and restore broken ones caused by excessive lightening, over-processing, and extreme flat iron use.

Novaplex works on a molecular level to restore hair leading to superb softness, shine, and manageability. The system also improves the intensity and uptake of oxidative colour and does not interfere with lightening processes.

DID YOU KNOW? Novaplex outperformed the leading competitor during independent testing carried out by The University of Princeton. The Novaplex system was shown to reduce hair breakage during lightening by 71%!

Novaplex’s Three-Step System

NOVAPLEX BOND CONSTRUCT 1 (PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY) This uses an advanced technology to build bonds and protect against keratin damage. Ideal colour development and lifting results are achieved.

NOVAPLEX BOND RESTORE 2 (PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY) This completes the action of Bond Construct 1. Strengthens new bonds, re-balances pH to smooth and seal the cuticle to provide long-lasting colour. Leaves hair supremely nourished and hydrated.

How Novaplex Helps Reduce 71% of Hair Breakage During Lightening

The De Lorenzo Professional Novaplex System has been tested for its ability to reduce hair breakage by the University of Princeton. Powder Lightener mixes, with and without Novaplex, were applied to pre-lightened hair swatches. The leading competitor was also compared against Novaplex.

Following the lightening process, the hair tresses were groomed using an automatic grooming machine.

Broken fibres were counted after every 200 strokes for a cycle of 2,000 strokes.

Novaplex achieved an outstanding 71% reduction in breakage when compared to a Powder Lightener mix containing no Novaplex and also outperformed the leading competitor. Wet combing tests confirmed Novaplex left hair more conditioned and with improved combing, even after five washes.

Next time you book your colour service ask your hairdresser to protect your hair with Novaplex. Treatments with Novaplex alone are also a great way to repair damage for truly beautiful results.
