Protocols

How to read the system

The phase system

Every treatment product carries a phase pill on its label. Phase 1 · Preparation: technical cleansing and fiber reset (shampoos and the Step 1 acidifier). Phase 2 · Infusion: deep treatment and sealing (conditioners, masks, ampoules, reconstructor). Phase 3 · Shield and Refraction: finishing, heat protection and polishing (leave-ins and serums). A complete ritual moves through all three phases in order.

Bio-Active Complex

Each product displays three technologies preceded by the + sign. Each technology is backed by a real ingredient in the formula (INCI). No active, no technology. In this catalog, the technology name appears alongside the ingredient that supports it.

Backbar Lab and Daily Pro

The two backbar lines have no phases. Backbar Lab brings versatile, immediate-action products, and the Daily Pro line is the high-turnover backbar in a 2.5 L gallon and a 1 kg jar.

Sizes

Salon use: 1 L, 500 mL, 400 g, 2.5 L, 1 kg, 900 mL, 500 g and 60 g tube. Home care: 250 mL, 230 mL and 280 g. 15 mL ampoules and 50 mL airless bottles serve both channels. The yield table at the end of the catalog converts each size into applications.

Safety and professional use

Oxidative products (colors, toner, lightening powders and developers) are for professional use only, with gloves and a patch test 48 hours before each application. The complete formula is on each product's packaging. This catalog does not replace reading the label.

Fiber diagnosis in four tests

01
Elasticity
Wet strand, stretched slowly between the fingers. Stretches about one third and returns: intact fiber; maintenance based on the surface reading. Stretches beyond that, loses firmness and does not return: protein loss, reconstruction (Intra-Cortex). Breaks without stretching: severe damage, reconstruction with an end trim. No chemical service before elasticity is recovered.
02
Water absorption
Clean, dry strand, no styling product. Spray water and observe. The droplet sits on the surface and runs off: cuticle laid flat, low porosity, alignment and shine (Luminous Refraction). Absorbs within seconds and darkens: open cuticle, high porosity, lipid and mass replenishment (Lipidic Nutri + Intra-Cortex).
03
Surface and history
Slide the dry strand between the fingers from ends to root: roughness against the cuticle direction indicates lifted scales. Cross-check with the history: lightening, color, straightening and frequent flat-iron use raise porosity even when the touch misleads. Rough hair with no shine calls for nutrition (Lipidic Nutri); stiff hair with no bounce calls for water (Hydro-Genesis).
04
Scalp
Oily roots, styling-product residue or sensitivity after color, before any lengths: Scalp Biome as Phase 1 of any ritual. Lesions, intense flaking, pain or marked shedding: refer to a dermatologist before any service.

Reconstruction scale

Four levels, chosen by the elasticity test and the fiber's chemical history.

Level1

Protein maintenance

25 min

Hair that loses body between services. Stretches slightly beyond normal and returns slowly.

Cortex Prep
Cortex Infusion
Cortex Seal 2 min
Cortex Shield

Level2

Keratin shock at the backbar

20 min · add-on

Loss of protein mass. Hair that loses firmness when wet and breaks when combed.

Shampoo from the indicated line
Keratin Shock 3 to 5 min
mask from the line, with Cortex Boost under the mask
leave-in

Level3

Three-step system

40 to 50 min

Extreme post-chemical damage. Compromised elasticity, uneven porosity, stretches without returning.

Cortex Reset
Cortex Prep
Cortex Rebuild + heat sealing
Cortex Shield + Cortex Glaze

Level4

Immediate post-chemical reconstruction

15 min · post-chemical

Same day as lightening or color. Disulfide bonds broken by oxidation.

Rinse out the chemical service
Molecular Restore 5 to 10 min
Cortex Seal
Cortex Shield. Level 3 the following week.

Reading rule: stretches and returns, intact fiber, maintenance; stretches too far and does not return, mass; breaks without stretching, mass and scissors.

Reference: medium-length hair (shoulder height), medium density.
Service dose counted the way the professional counts at the sink: valve pump (3 mL on the 1 L bottle and the gallon), pump (2 mL on the 500 mL bottle), spatula dose (3 g) and trigger spray (0.2 mL; 4 per application). Shampoo: two washes per service, one pump in each.
Usable yield deducts 10% residue in valves, pumps, triggers, tubes and jars. Ampoules and color tubes are single-dose. Applications rounded down.
Adjust for length and density: short × 0.7 · medium × 1.0 · long or very dense × 1.5. Color: 60 g equals one global application or two 30 g root touch-ups.
Cost per application (CPA) = unit purchase price ÷ applications per unit.
Reference doses per dispenser. The actual dose varies with length, density and technique. This chart guides the salon's purchase planning and the cost-per-application calculation.
