Minimalist Maleic Bond Repair Complex 3.5% Hair Shampoo 250ml

The Minimalist Maleic Bond Repair Complex 3.5% Hair Shampoo is a science-backed cleanser made for hair that’s been chemically processed, bleached, or just generally beaten up by heat and styling. Most regular shampoos either strip the hair or just sit on the surface — but this one actively works to rebuild bonds while it cleanses, which is genuinely rare in a daily shampoo. It’s sulfate-free, color-safe, and gentle enough for everyday use without leaving hair squeaky or stripped. The hero of the Minimalist Maleic Bond Repair Complex 3.5% Hair Shampoo is its 3.5% maleic acid bond repair complex, which works on broken disulfide bonds inside the hair shaft. Pair that with biotin for strength, panthenol for moisture, and a mild surfactant base, and you’ve got a cleanser that supports repair from the very first step of your routine. It’s a smart pick for damaged, color-treated, or fragile hair, and pairs perfectly with the Minimalist Maleic Bond Repair Complex 05% Hair Serum as a leave-in treatment afterward. Key Benefits Repairs While It Cleanses — The Minimalist Maleic Bond Repair Complex 3.5% Hair Shampoo rebuilds broken bonds with every wash.

Key Ingredients Here’s what powers the Minimalist Maleic Bond Repair Complex 3.5% Hair Shampoo: Maleic Acid Bond Repair Complex (3.5%) The hero ingredient. Maleic acid is studied for its ability to help repair broken disulfide bonds inside damaged hair, working similarly to other popular bond builders. With consistent washing, it helps restore strength, elasticity, and structural integrity to chemically processed hair. Biotin (Vitamin B7) A well-known hair-strengthening vitamin that supports stronger, more resilient strands. It helps reduce visible breakage and supports overall hair health when delivered through topical care. Panthenol (Provitamin B5) Adds moisture and softness to hair, helping it feel smoother and more pliable. It’s especially valuable in a cleanser to prevent that stripped, dry feeling after washing. Hydrolyzed Keratin A small-molecule protein that penetrates the hair shaft to fortify weak spots. It pairs naturally with maleic acid to support overall hair structure. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Helps support a healthy scalp environment, which is the foundation of stronger, healthier hair growth over time. Glycerin A humectant that draws moisture into the hair, keeping strands soft and hydrated rather than dry and brittle after washing. Mild Surfactants (Sulfate-Free) The cleansing base is built from gentle, non-stripping surfactants that remove dirt and buildup without damaging the hair cuticle or fading color. Best For: Bleached Hair — bond repair Color-Treated Hair — color-safe cleanse Heat-Damaged Hair — gentle restoration Dry & Brittle Hair — softens and hydrates Chemically Treated Hair — strengthening support Targets These Concerns: Breakage and split ends Weakened, fragile strands Color fading from harsh shampoos Damage from bleaching, coloring, and heat styling Dryness and roughness Not Recommended For: Those with known sensitivities to any listed ingredients — patch test first. Anyone needing a deeply clarifying clean (this is a gentle, repair-focused formula) How to Use Wet Hair Thoroughly — Saturate hair with lukewarm water before applying. Apply Shampoo — Dispense a coin-sized amount into your palm and lather between hands. Massage Into Scalp — Work the lather into your scalp and roots using fingertips, then let it run through the lengths. Rinse Well — Rinse completely with cool or lukewarm water and follow with conditioner or treatment. Use: 2-4 times per week or as needed Where in routine: First step on wash days, before conditioner and leave-in treatments Pro Tip: For maximum bond repair, follow this shampoo with the matching Minimalist Maleic Bond Repair leave-in serum on damp hair — the combination compounds the repair effect over time.
