TeraBond and Olaplex work on repairing broken proteins in the hair shaft between bonds. Both products are under the guidelines of “Clean Beauty” and are Vegan. Olaplex does this with a synthetic, patented ingredient that no one can use but Olaplex since they developed the ingredient. TeraBond works the same way Olaplex does, but is 100% naturally-derived from a botanical & amino acid. While there is no 1:1 exact match to performance of Olaplex’s patented material, TeraBond is the closest performing material to it. It has only around a 5% difference in performance of Olaplex. TeraBond was clinically tested against Olaplex.
