Olaplex No.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo

1. Overview

• Finish & Target: Deeply purified, weightless hair finish engineered to remove stubborn hard water minerals, chlorine, heavy metals, excess oil, product buildup, and environmental pollutants.

• Texture & Format: Clear, non-drying gel-to-foam shampoo housed in an ergonomic bottle designed for precise shower application.

• Wear & Performance: Broad-spectrum deep-cleansing system that restores volume, soft texture, shine, and color clarity without stripping natural moisture or causing hair stiffness.

• Key Benefits: Features Olaplex’s patented bond-building technology paired with a broad-spectrum clarifying matrix to clear the hair shaft so subsequent treatments and moisture masks can penetrate deeper. Color-safe, sulfate-free, pH-balanced, vegan, cruelty-free, and suitable for all hair types and textures.

2. Key Ingredients

• Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate: Olaplex’s patented bond-building active ingredient that identifies and relinks broken disulfide bonds caused by chemical services, heat styling, and environmental degradation, restoring internal tensile strength.

• Broad-Spectrum Clarifying System (Disodium EDTA & Sodium Phytate): High-potency chelating agents that bind to and lift hard water minerals (calcium, magnesium), heavy metals (copper, iron), and chlorine deposits from the hair surface.

• Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate & Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate: Gentle, sulfate-free surfactant complex that provides a dense, deeply purifying lather to dissolve surface oils, silicones, and styling resin buildup without drying the scalp.

• Glycerin & Sodium PCA: Essential humectants that maintain internal moisture balance during the deep-cleansing process, ensuring hair remains soft and supple rather than straw-like.

• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Hair-penetrating vitamin active that smoothes cuticles, enhances light reflectivity, and fortifies fine or brittle strands against breakage.

3. How to Use

1. Apply: Dispense a quarter-sized amount onto thoroughly wet hair, focusing on the scalp and working down through the mid-lengths and ends.

2. Lather: Massage into a rich, dense lather; allow it to sit on hair for up to 5 minutes to fully dissolve heavy mineral buildup and impurities.

3. Rinse: Rinse completely with lukewarm water until the hair feels clean and purified.

4. Follow Up: Follow immediately with Olaplex No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner or No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask to replenish moisture. Use once a week in place of your regular shampoo.
