In around 15 minutes, this in-salon service rebuilds weakened internal bonds, smooths the cuticle, and leaves hair feeling softer, stronger, and visibly healthier. ## How the Treatment Works The ABC system uses an **acidic pH formula** and a **Bonding Care Complex** with citric acid to reinforce hair structure from within. The treatment process is straightforward: - Hair is assessed to tailor the right balance of moisture and protein - An **intensive ABC pre-treatment** is applied to damp hair and left for 5–10 minutes - The product is rinsed, then followed by ABC shampoo, conditioner, and optional leave-in serum - The entire add-on typically takes **10–15 minutes** and fits neatly into colour, cut, or styling appointments You will notice **smoother, more manageable hair** immediately, with reduced frizz and improved shine. ## Who It's For This treatment suits **all hair types and textures**, especially if your hair is: - **Colour-treated or lightened** (highlights, balayage, full head foils, tint) - **Over-processed or chemically stressed** (repeat bleaching, frequent colouring) - **Heat-damaged** from regular blow-drying or styling tools - **Dry, brittle, or prone to breakage** and in need of strengthening Whether your hair is fine, thick, curly, or straight, ABC works to restore resilience and protect colour longevity. Our team in **Worth, Crawley** will tailor the treatment to your hair's condition and discuss the best frequency for ongoing care. ## Results and Aftercare After one treatment, expect hair that feels **softer, stronger, and visibly healthier**. With repeated use every 4–6 weeks, you will see: - Progressive strengthening of weakened bonds and improved elasticity - Better colour retention and reduced fading - Less breakage, fewer split ends, and smoother texture overall **At-home aftercare** is simple and effective: - Use **sulfate-free ABC shampoo and conditioner** to maintain bond repair between visits - Add the **5-Minute Liquid Mask** 1–2 times a week for extra hydration if hair is very damaged - Apply an **ABC leave-in serum** to damp or dry hair for ongoing protection, frizz control, and shine - Minimise heat styling where possible, and always use thermal protection Consistent care at home extends the benefits and keeps your hair in the best possible condition. ## Booking and Suitability ABC Treatment is typically offered as a **quick add-on** to colour, cutting, or blow-dry appointments, though it can also be booked as a standalone strengthening service. The treatment is gentle, pH-balanced, and safe for frequent use on colour-treated hair. If you have **scalp sensitivities or concerns about acidic formulas**, let the team know during your consultation so we can tailor the service accordingly. For heavily compromised hair, ABC works best as part of a longer-term repair plan that may include regular treatments, gentle home care, and trimming of very damaged ends.
