How to restore damaged hair using a Plex Treatment

95% of our hair is made up of protein bond structures.

These hold our hair shafts together, giving it its strength and stability.

They keep your hair in the natural shape it was formed.

Yet there are multiple factors that cause these bond structures to be broken down, causing our hair to become weak and thin...


1. Chemical treatments

Colouring, perming, and other chemical treatments can lead to damaged hair.

The harsh chemicals used in these processes can strip hair of its natural moisture and proteins.

Leading to dry, brittle and weak hair.


2. Heat styling

Regularly using hot styling tools such as hairdryers, curling irons and flat irons can cause significant damage to your hair.

High temperatures break down the hair's protein structure and strip away its natural oils.

Leaving your locks dry, dull and susceptible to breakage.


3. Environmental factors

Sun exposure, pollution, and humidity can harm your hair over time.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can damage the hair's cuticle, while pollution can create free radicals that weaken hair fibers.

Humidity can cause frizz and make hair more prone to breakage.


4. Mechanical damage

Rough handling of your hair, such as brushing too hard, pulling on your hair or wearing tight hairstyles can cause damage.

This may lead to breakage, split ends and weakened hair strands.


5. Poor hair care routine

Using harsh shampoos, skipping conditioner or overusing styling products can also damage your hair.

These factors can strip your hair of its natural oils and leave it feeling dry and brittle.

The only effective long-term solution is to restore or replace the internal structure of the hair using a plex treatment.

A plex treatment is a revolutionary solution designed to restore damaged hair by rebuilding the disulfide bonds that give hair its strength and elasticity.

By incorporating plex into your hair care routine, you can restore your hair's health, strength and shine.

Merwave’s Repair & Restore Plex Treatment is formulated using a patented blend of hydroxypropylgluconamide and hydroxypropylammonium gluconate.

Two small molecule ingredients designed to strengthen hair from inside the fiber.

This unique solution penetrates deep into your cortex to create new hydrogen and ionic bonds that support the internal keratin structure.

This strengthens the internal hair structure up to 3x that of untreated hair.

1. Stronger hair

As the plex treatment rebuilds the hair's bonds, it strengthens the hair from within.

Making it more resistant to breakages and damage.


2. Reduces hair porosity

By repairing the hair's structure, a plex treatment can help reduce hair porosity.

Which means your hair will better retain moisture.

Leading to softer, shinier, less frizzy waves.


3. Hair is more manageable

By restoring the bonds in your hair, a plex treatment can improve your hair's elasticity.

Making it less prone to breakage and more resilient to styling.

Your hair will become more manageable.

Use plex treatment whenever your hair feels dull and damaged.

Or after you’ve been on holiday and subjected it to sun, sea and chlorine.

Anytime it needs some TLC!

Simply apply to damp hair, leave on for 30-60 minutes, then rinse off.

Then complete your normal wash day routine.

In addition to using a plex treatment, it’s essential to maintain a healthy hair care routine by following the below core principles:

1. Use silicone, sulphate and paraben free products to prevent your natural oils from being stripped.

2. Use a deep conditioner to keep your hair hydrated.

3. Limit the use of heating tools to avoid damage.

4. Detangle when hair is dripping in conditioner to reduce tension on your strands.

5. Get regular trims to prevent split ends and breakages.

It’s important to note that restoring damaged hair takes time.

There is no overnight miracle product.

So, you may need a few treatments before you start seeing results.
