Colorphlex

ColorpHlex protects and strengthens hair during the color and bleach process, reducing damage and breakage.

The Colorphlex Difference

colorpHlex improves the strength and quality of the hair from the inside out. Scientifically formulated, colorpHlex uses a naturally derived vegetable protein molecule that penetrates the hair, reinforcing bonds during the color and bleach process. Clinical trials show that a small amount of colorpHlex added to hair color or bleach makes hair up to 4Xs stronger, significantly reducing breakage, returning hair to its natural healthy state. We recommend colorpHlex home care products for home use to extend salon results.

Benefits of Colorphlex:

  • Clinical trials show using colorpHlex increases hair strength by 4Xs, returning hair to its natural healthy state.
  • Reduces hair breakage and damage during the color or bleach process.
  • Naturally derived vegetable protein molecules penetrate the hair shaft filling, bonding and protecting.
  • Aggressive pricing to accommodate all clientele.
  • Sales support through sampling, advertising and education.
