What is the difference between No. 1 and No. 2?

No. 1 is mixed into lightener or color before application. No. 2 is applied after the color is rinsed, left on at least 5 minutes, then rinsed out.

Can I use it with any color brand?

Olaplex says it works with all manufacturers' formulas, from lightener to color. Add No. 1 to the mix according to the service directions.

Is this for salon use or home use?

It is the professional in-service system. Home users typically reach for No. 3 instead, which is a take-home treatment.

How do I use No. 2 as a cutting lotion?

Apply No. 2 after rinsing the color and leave it in the hair while cutting, instead of rinsing it out after 5 minutes.

Bond Multiplier No. 1 in 3.3 oz and Bond Perfector No. 2 in 3.3 oz.

Does it replace conditioner?

No. After No. 2 is rinsed, you still shampoo and condition as usual.
