Hairdressers have been raving about it for years, and now the science backs it up – Innoluxe V3 is the superior bond-builder when it comes to hair repair and protection during bleaching. Ready to find out why? Let’s break it down!

The Science Behind the Power

A groundbreaking study led by Innoluxe founder Jez Barnett and Sarah Spiers from Chaulk Education put Innoluxe V3 to the test against the biggest names in the game, including Olaplex and K18. Using a high-precision Sauter FH 500 Force Gauge, they measured how much force it took to break single hair strands after bleaching. This allowed us to see exactly how much stronger each product made the hair. And guess what? There was a clear winner and it was Innoluxe V3.

We ran a series of strength tests using different bond-builders on bleached hair. Here’s what we did:

Six hair swatches were bleached twice using Pravana Granula bleach. We tried different combos, including Olaplex, K18, and of course, Innoluxe V3.
We even added the brand-new Innoluxe FBR, a pre-colour spray designed to supercharge hair strength.

What’s the Secret Behind Innoluxe’s Magic?

Innoluxe V3 isn’t just another bond-builder. It’s designed to repair, protect, and strengthen your hair during and after chemical treatments. And now there’s even a higher level of repair with Innoluxe’s brand-new FBR, a game-changing product that combats Cysteic acid – the sneaky culprit behind dull, damaged, and hard-to-manage hair.

Wait... What’s Cysteic Acid?

Imagine rust on metal – that’s basically what cysteic acid does to your hair. It’s caused by excessive oxygen from chemical treatments like colour, as well as heat styling, or even just being outside. The result? Weak, resistant hair that refuses to hold color. But fear not! Innoluxe FBR fights back by repairing and strengthening hair before coloring, ensuring vibrant, even tones and soft, manageable locks.

Numbers Don’t Lie – The Game-Changing Results

Innoluxe V3 outperformed other bond-builders across the board. Here’s what they found:

33.63% Stronger Hair: Hair treated with Innoluxe V3 alone was up to 33.63% stronger than hair bleached without a bond-builder.

65.60% oost with FBR: Combine Innoluxe V3 with FBR (the pre-colour porosity equaliser) for a massive 65.60% strength increase, making it the most effective combo tested.

Better Than Olaplex and K18: On average, Innoluxe V3-treated hair was 13.03%–16.18% stronger than Olaplex and 10.26%–12.61% stronger than K18.

The Gap Gets Bigger: When paired with FBR, Innoluxe delivered up to 21.02% greater strength than Olaplex and 17.30% greater than K18.

What This Means for Hairdressers and Clients

With these powerful results, hairdressers worldwide can confidently offer bold, creative colour transformations without compromising hair health. Innoluxe V3 doesn’t just protect hair – it makes it stronger.

Sarah Spiers of Chaulk Education says it best: “I wanted to dig deeper into whether bond-builders actually deliver on their promises, and this test proved that Innoluxe V3 is in a league of its own. The specific ingredients make all the difference, and when combined with Innoluxe FBR, the improvement is even more dramatic.”

Additional Testing Proves Innoluxe’s Dominance

The study didn’t stop there! They also tested using Avec Pro Super Lift Bleach, and the results were just as impressive:

41.02% Stronger: Innoluxe V3 + FBR boosted hair strength by up to 41.02%, even after multiple bleaching rounds.

Consistent Superiority: Across multiple bleaching sessions, Innoluxe V3-treated hair remained significantly stronger than Olaplex and K18-treated hair.
