A Deeper Look at Bond Repair Complex 

What is Bond Repair Complex?

Formulated with keratin and amino acids, our Bond Repair Complex is a bond repair treatment designed to help strengthen and smooth each strand. The moisturizing conditioner included in this product is infused with this powerful complex to nourish hair and leave it feeling soft, sleek, and resilient

What does Keratin do for your hair? 

Keratin is a protein that helps strengthen hair, reduce frizz, and enhance smoothness and shine. A keratin treatment works by sealing the hair cuticle with a protective layer, making strands look healthier and more manageable. It’s especially beneficial for damaged or frizz-prone hair. 

What do Amino Acids Do for your hair? 

Amino acids help rebuild and strengthen the hair’s structure from within, supporting overall hair health and resilience. An amino acid hair treatment deeply nourishes strands, improving moisture retention, shine, and softness. It’s especially effective for restoring hair that's dry, brittle, or chemically treated.

How Often Should You Use Bond Repair Complex? 

Revlon’s Bond Repair Complex is designed as a powerful, one-time treatment to visibly strengthen and restore the hair’s internal structure. Formulated to target damage at a molecular level, it works to repair broken bonds caused by heat styling, chemical treatments, and environmental stressors. With just one use, hair looks and feels healthier—stronger, smoother, and more resilient. This targeted treatment delivers impactful results without the need for frequent application, making it a high-performance solution for damaged hair that fits effortlessly into any routine.

These RevlonColorSilk™ instructions will help you make the most of your hair dye, offering total coverage and long-lasting results.

What You'll Need

Before applying Revlon hair dye, gather the following:

Preparing for Application

Be sure to perform a patch test 48 hours before coloring your hair. Even if you've used ColorSilk™ hair dye or other Revlon hair color shades in the past, you should always do a spot test to check for allergic reactions, just in case the recipe has changed or you've become sensitive to an ingredient.

Take a moment to clear your work area of anything you don't want stained and protect your clothing before using the dye. Finally, brush your hair thoroughly to ensure it's tangle-free.

Step 1: Mix the Color

Your Revlon ColorSilk™ Beautiful Color hair dye will include two bottles—a cream developer and an ammonia-free colorant. Pour the colorant into the developer bottle and shake thoroughly until the liquids are completely blended.

Step 2: Section Then Apply

Before applying the dye, divide your hair into four equal sections. Next, apply the permanent hair color mixture to the root area at each part, taking care not to rub the dye into your scalp.

Step 3: Processing Time

The processing time depends on your type of hair. Most people will need to leave Revlon Color Silk dye on their hair for 25 minutes to achieve lasting coloration. If you have resistant gray hair, leave the dye on for a total of 35 minutes for best results. For blonde shades, add an extra 20 minutes to the processing time to allow the dye to fully penetrate the hair. Be patient, and don't try to rush this part of the process. Relax with a book or a podcast, and let the timer count down!

Step 4: Rinse + Cleanse

After the processing time is up, add warm water and gently massage the color through your hair, then rinse it off. Keep rinsing your hair and scalp until the water runs clear.

Step 5: Condition for Optimal Results

Finally, apply the ultra-hydrating cream conditioner and leave it on for 3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. The conditioner helps to repair damaged hair and leave you with
