Powertools Protector – Conditioner – Styling Aid (PCS)

Neutralize every colour service with Dennis Bernard’s Color Protector, Conditioner, Styling Aid, PCS.

With a low acidity level (pH), it eliminates any residual peroxide (developer) and other alkali in hair treatments.

Polymerization occurs when hair color and peroxide developers are mixed together. Excess peroxide is created and left behind for this reaction to be completed. It is for this free peroxide that you see lift; the higher the peroxide level, the more lift you see. Experiments have shown this to be a major damaging factor and especially, if not completely removed, can cause colour change and fading. Dennis Bernard’s PCS formula has a special affinity (attraction) to residual hydrogen peroxide. It converts H2O2 into harmless oxygen and water which is a basic moisturizer.

Additional Benefits:

• Can be used as a cutting tool
• Prevents colour fade out
• Returns hair to its normal pH levels
• Use after perming to equal out porosity
• Use for styling and all day conditioning
• Use on dry hair to reactivate styling products to touch-up hair style
• Apply at the pool, beach or before a tanning session to protect the hair from damaging ultraviolet rays.

Your Questions & Answers

1. Does residual peroxide cause fadeage?
   Yes, PCS is considered “insurance for hair colour”.
2. What does the formation of cysteic acid do?
   Chemical changes can occur in hair proteins, lipids and hair pigments. Lipid oxidation, disulfide bond cleavage, tryptophan degradation and cysteic acid formation lead to an increase in fibre porosity, loss of mechanical strength and an increase in surface roughness.
3. How does it stop perm relaxation?
   Again, removes the residual peroxide which can cause the perm to relax if kept in the hair. Essentially this will allow the perm to last longer.
