Everything You Need to Know About VITAPLEX Hair Treatment
Healthy hair is the foundation of every successful colour, lightening and styling service. VITAPLEX is a professional hair treatment and haircare system designed to support the hair fibre during chemical services and help maintain condition between salon visits.
This guide explains what VITAPLEX is, how it works, and how to use it step by step in a professional salon setting, with clear guidance on aftercare and retail recommendations.
What is VITAPLEX?
VITAPLEX is a three-step professional hair treatment system from ASP Affinage Salon Professional. It is used in salons to support hair condition during and after chemical services and as part of an ongoing haircare routine.
The role of bonding systems in professional haircare
During colouring, lightening and chemical treatments, the internal structure of the hair fibre can become weakened. Industry research shows that chemical processing can affect the hair’s strength and elasticity, leading to dryness and breakage if not properly supported. Bonding systems are designed to work alongside professional services to help maintain hair integrity and manageability.
Why VITAPLEX is used in salons
VITAPLEX is valued by hairdressers because it:
- Fits easily into existing colour and lightening services
- Does not disrupt lift or colour results
- Offers a clear in-salon and homecare pathway

How VITAPLEX works as a hair treatment
VITAPLEX is made up of three parts, each with a specific role in the service cycle.
VITAPLEX Part 1 Bond Protector
Part 1 is added directly to colour, lightener or chemical services. It is designed to support the hair fibre during processing while allowing colour and lift to perform as expected.
Used during:
- Permanent and demi colour
- Lightening and bleaching
- Chemical services
VITAPLEX Part 2 Bond Reconstructor
Part 2 is applied after rinsing the chemical service. It helps improve hair feel, softness and manageability at the backwash.
Used:
- Immediately after chemical services
- As an in-salon hair treatment
VITAPLEX Part 3 Bond Preserver
Part 3 is the homecare cornerstone of the VITAPLEX system. While Parts 1 and 2 act in-salon to protect and rebuild bonds during and after chemical services, Part 3 is designed to help preserve and extend those results between appointments.
