Acid Repair Protocol

Acid Repair Protocol is an advanced restorative treatment designed to rehabilitate severely damaged, chemically treated hair, particularly hair affected by bleaching and colorization. The protocol works to restore the hair’s pH balance while replenishing carbon and essential active ingredients within the hair fiber. This helps reconstruct brittle, weakened, and lifeless hair, improving its strength, resistance, elasticity, and overall condition. Ideal for hair in need of intensive repair and recovery following chemical processing.



  • Consultation & Assessment

    Assess the overall health of the hair and scalp. Inquire about the client's hair history, including:

    • Last service date and type (e.g., color, bleach, perms, relaxers, smoothing treatments).
    • Hair condition (virgin, healthy, over-processed, over-porous).
    • Scalp condition (free of irritation, redness, or damage).

  • Cleanse the Hair

    Cleanse the hair thoroughly with the Carbon Shampoo to remove residual products, oils, and impurities.

    • Massage until foamy and rinse thoroughly.
    • Repeat if necessary for thick or curly hair with heavy buildup

  • Apply the Carbon Gel

    Gently towel dry the hair until it is damp but not dripping wet.

    • Apply Carbon Sealing Gel: starting at the bottom and working your way up, focusing on areas prone to damage.
    • Leave on the hair for 10 minutes
    • Once time is up, do not wash the hair.

  • Apply Acid Repair

    Apply the Acid Repair treatment generously to the hair.

    • Cover the hair with a disposable plastic cap or plastic wrap (do not use foil).
    • Leave it on for another 10 minutes to allow it to reconstruct and restore pH balance.
    • For the process to go quicker you may place under a color processor or hooded dryer.
    • Once the time is up, wash off the product from the hair and towel dry.

  • Apply the Hair Mask

    For optimal hair health, apply the Carbon Hair Mask to the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp.

    • Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the mask evenly. Cover with a plastic cap and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to deeply condition the hair.
    • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water..

  • Blow Dry the Hair

    Apply the Carbon Leave In, on towel-dried hair, starting at the bottom and working your way up.

    • Finish by applying the Bye Frizz Styling Spray to the hair.
    • Blow-Dry: Blow-dry your hair with a round brush for optimal results.
