On Monday 23 February, industry guests gathered at Kimmy Ralph’s Hair Boutique in Darlinghurst for an exclusive first look at Revlon Professional’s latest innovation: the RE/START Bond Repair range.
The intimate Q&A session was led by Revlon Professional artistic ambassador and stylist Ben Martin, who walked attendees through the science behind the collection before delivering a live demonstration that brought the formulas to life in real time.
Beyond traditional haircare
Positioned as a next-generation repair system, RE/START Bond Repair moves beyond surface conditioning to target damage at its core. Inspired by skincare science and powered by Revlon Professional’s exclusive LipidBond Filler Technology, the range is designed to address the cumulative impact of heat styling, chemical services and environmental stressors that leave hair fragile, frizzy and prone to breakage.
During the session, Martin explained how the system works across four key structural levels of the hair fibre. At the centre is Lipid Bond Filler Technology, which works in synergy with:
-
Keratech Bond Repair Technology to help re-link broken bonds
-
Hair Moisture Filler Technology to replenish and repair the cortex
-
Lipid Layer Replenisher Technology to nourish the lipid layer
-
Acidic Technology to seal the cuticle for lasting smoothness and shine
According to the brand, the results speak to the system’s comprehensive approach, delivering up to 10 times smoother hair, 12 times stronger strands, up to 74 hours of frizz control and six times more hydration.
A live demonstration of repair in action
The highlight of the morning was the live demonstration, where Martin showcased the layering of the system and the immediate cosmetic transformation. Hair that initially appeared dry and compromised was visibly smoother and more reflective post-treatment, with a noticeably silkier texture through the mid-lengths and ends.
Throughout the Q&A, discussion centred on the growing demand for bond-repair technology in both salon and at-home maintenance. Guests were particularly interested in how the microbiome-balancing approach integrates scalp care into the repair conversation, reinforcing the brand’s move towards a more holistic view of hair health.
