This works on a molecular level to restore your hair. In fact, it is the only patented bond builder in the biz.It works to repair hair strands using what Revolution calls a triple molecular weight protein cascade system. This infuses the hair shaft with protein to help repair bonds.

In addition, this product contains a high number of antioxidants, which can repair damage to the hair and protect it from environmental damage like pollution and UV rays.
