Olaplex N°.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo 250 mL — Deep‑Cleansing, Color‑Safe Weekly Reset

Olaplex N°.4C Bond Maintenance™ Clarifying Shampoo is a weekly deep-cleaning shampoo that removes mineral, product, and environmental buildup to revive color vibrancy, shine, and softness across all hair types.

This clarifying formula from Olaplex is designed to lift and clear the film that accumulates on scalp and strands—chlorine, hard-water minerals, pollution residue, and excess product—without stripping essential moisture or compromising color. pH-optimized surfactants produce a rich, refreshing lather that cleans thoroughly while supporting Olaplex’s bond-strengthening system. Use it as a weekly reset or whenever hair feels heavy, dull, or sticky from buildup.

How does N°.4C remove buildup without over-drying?

The formula targets a broad range of impurities with a clarifying system that lifts residue from the cuticle while avoiding harsh sulfates that can overly strip hair. It balances effective cleansing with conditioning-support ingredients so strands feel clean yet not brittle. The result is restored manageability and a better base for treatments and styling.

• pH-optimized surfactants lift cuticle-bound impurities gently.
• Formulated without SLS/SLES to minimize drying and preserve color.
• Removes chlorine, heavy metals, hard-water minerals, pollution, and product film.
• Leaves hair conditioned enough for continued repair or styling steps.

Will this work on my hair type or color-treated strands?

N°.4C is crafted for universal use—straight, wavy, curly, and coily textures across fine to coarse densities—and is safe on chemically treated and color-processed hair. Because it avoids harsh sulfates and includes bond-supporting technology, it refreshes color and shine while maintaining the integrity of treated hair.

• Suitable for every curl pattern and texture, all porosity levels included.
• Color-safe formulation to help maintain vibrancy after clarifying.
• Compatible with chemically treated and permed hair.
• Use weekly or as needed depending on exposure and product use.

How does N°.4C fit into a hair repair routine?

Use N°.4C as the clearing step before applying Olaplex repair treatments or regular conditioning. Removing buildup increases the effectiveness of bond-repair products and leaves strands more receptive to moisture and strengthening actives, helping future treatments penetrate more evenly.

• Use once weekly or when hair feels weighed down to prepare for repair treatments.
• Cleansing first helps maximize the performance of conditioners and Olaplex bond products.
• Helps reinforce resilience by allowing reparative ingredients to access the hair fiber.
• Dermatologist tested and vegan, fitting into many care routines.

What results can I expect after one use?

After a single clarifying wash, hair typically feels noticeably lighter and looks brighter, with improved shine and enhanced color clarity. Surface residue is reduced, making hair easier to detangle and style; continued weekly use helps prevent future buildup and maintains the benefits.

• Lifts dulling deposits to reveal cleaner, more vibrant color.
• Reduces heaviness and increases manageability for styling.
• Prepares hair for deeper repair and conditioning steps.
• Promotes a fresher scalp environment by removing excess oils and impurities.

Who this is for: Olaplex N°.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo is ideal for anyone needing a thorough, non-stripping clarifying wash—people exposed to chlorinated water, hard water, heavy product use, pollution, or those who want to refresh color and improve the performance of bond-repair treatments. It suits all textures, porosities, and is appropriate for color-treated and chemically processed hair when used as directed.
