FAQ's Vitamin C Brightening Hair Treatment

WHAT CAN CAUSE DULL HAIR?

Dull and lacklustre hair can be caused by several factors including diet, dehydration, bleaching, chlorine, heat damage or excessive washing.

CAN VITAMIN C BRIGHTENING HAIR TREATMENT BE USED WITH ALL OTHER PRODUCTS?

Yes, it works alongside all other hair and scalp products.

IS IT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?

Yes, it is.

WHAT PRODUCTS WORK WELL ALONGSIDE VITAMIN C BRIGHTENING HAIR TREATMENT?

All.

WHAT IS THE PH LEVEL OF THIS PRODUCT?

PH LEVEL: 4.5 - 5.5

IF APPLIED TO WET, DAMP OR DRY HAIR, WILL IT AFFECT HAIR STYLING?

No, none of our hair treatment products will affect hair styling and can be used with your usual hair styling products.

CAN I USE IT ON BLEACHED OR COLOURED HAIR?

Yes you can. Normal Vitamin C is small, water soluble and has a low pH which normally lifts the cuticle up, weakening the bonds between the dye and your hair cortex, degrading it.Instead, the ingredient we have used in this product, VCIP has 4 large, anti-water compounds attached to it which do 2 things: 1) act as a outer-cuticle only 'roof' repairer to the cuticle and essentially repair the damage of the cuticle, simultaneously enhancing the natural (or non-natural) colour that is in the shaft. 2) Unlike normal Vitamin C that strips colour, our vitamin C technology (VCIP) physically (in size) and chemically (due to hydrophobicity) cannot reach the natural or bleached colour, making it completely Colour-Safe.

CAN I USE THIS PRODUCT IF I HAVE HAIR EXTENSIONS?

Yes, you can use all our hair and scalp treatments if you have hair extensions, however, we would recommend to be careful if applying around the bonds/glue.

DOES THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN ANY ALCOHOL OR FRAGRANCE?

No, it doesn't.

CAN I USE THIS PRODUCT IF I AM PREGNANT?

Yes, you can. All our hair and scalp treatments can be used during pregnancy.

IS THIS PRODUCT VEGAN?

Yes! This product contains no animal derivatives and is now certified by The Vegan Society.

Vitamin C Brightening Hair Treatment

\ vi-ta-men \ see \ hair \ treet-muhnt \

A lightweight serum that helps to increase shine, gloss and helps hair feel softer and look healthier.

Key ingredient, VCIP, works to treat dull, lackluster hair by helping to restore the hair from being hydrophilic (damaged) back to hydrophobic (healthy) through lipid deposition and helps to rebuild the hair’s natural barrier and smoothing the cortex surface, resulting in glossy, shinier hair instantly. Safe for revitalizing coloured hair without stripping colour and enhancing natural hair tones.

"You need summer hairstyles that can withstand hot and humid weather. Best to achieve this is by embracing your own hair texture and working with it not against it. Add Vitamin C Brightening Hair Treatment from roots to tips and Shea Oil Hair Treatment to the ends of long towel dry hair, braid it into 3 plaits (leave the ends straight) and let it air dry whilst doing your make up and getting dressed. Once dry undo the plaits, gently run your fingers through to loosen the waves (don’t brush it) and you're ready to go. Your hair will feel healthy, nourished and runway ready"

Makes for very shiny hair

This tamed my frizz perfectly and made my hair look much more shiny, more soft and healty looking from the first use. The consistency is almost like water and does not weigh the hair down. Will definitely continue to use.

mediocre product

I have processed hair (have highlights, dye my roots) and I'm trying to bring back the luminosity to my ends. I don't feel that this product did anything. It's okay, meaning the texture which is watery and lightweight. It's absorbed immediately. The other thing I didn't like is the smell...it's a haircare product, it could have an pleasant fragrance I think.

I noticed no difference

I bought this product as a filler product for free shipping - and because it was suggested to me in the hair recipe. I've been using it a couple of times a week since I bought it and I've not really seen any effect. My hair was already in good condition, my issue was an itchy scalp.

Hey Michaela! For an itchy scalp, opt for one of our scalp products, such as our Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Treatment or Glycolic Acid Treatment 🖤
