High Level PRO Review.
Tiger Reconstruct is a leave-in treatment that covalently grafts PolyGraft-9 (a replica of the same type of polypeptides in hair) back into the hair via covalent (permanent) bonding.
Tiger is also a great volume spray that adds softness and shine.
Covalent bonds form naturally during the drying and styling step that stylists already perform.
As a seemingly weightless leave-in treatment, styling products can be layered on top and naturally heated, which activates the Tiger Catalyst. It removes the rinse step in the salon, saving time and increasing efficiency.
Add directly to any hair color: 10 squirts (approximately one-quarter ounce) per four ounces of color (Tiger Reconstruct will not dilute color).
Used to level porosity before color application, ensuring a more natural coloring process. Spray into damp hair, dry, then color.
It functions as a filler, depositing the PolyGraft-9 with the color inside the hair shaft to make the color behave more like natural hair. Simply put, the color dyes the Tiger Reconstruct along with the hair, resulting in a more natural coloring process and helping to prevent "fadeage" and poor color coverage.
Add directly to any hair bleach: 10 squirts (approximately one-quarter ounce) per four ounces of color or bleach.
Apply and dry Tiger Reconstruct into the hair before bleaching or high-lift color to level porosity and strengthen the hair. (Perform the Covalent Grafting Repair-Kit for highly compromised and damaged hair.)
Inside the hair, the PolyGraft-9 inside the Tiger Reconstruct acts as a sacrificial protein. Bleach preferentially breaks down the PolyGraft-9 rather than the hair’s own protein, because there is more PolyGraft-9 present than is covalently bonded to the hair.
This treatment can be used prior to color, bleach, and chemical services for clients who already have damaged hair and want additional chemical processing.
Covalent Grafting can also be used as a corrective treatment when hair is accidentally over-processed or burned.
Every client who receives permanent color, bleach and chemical services needs to use Tiger At-Home to maintain and have a healthy canvas for the next time they visit you.
By strengthening hair with covalent bonds and reducing porosity, Tiger Reconstruct helps ensure dye molecules formed inside the hair cannot be rinsed or shampooed out, and bleached hair continues to receive structural support.
“Hair is very crystalline in structure and not inherently colored. Hair color comes from melanin particles embedded within the shaft.
Bleach aims to decolorize melanin particles; ideally it would spare the protein structure, but in practice it also degrades the protein by breaking covalent bonds.”
