Description
What it is
Bondex is Dr. Melaxin’s hair-care line, built around the idea of “bonding”: helping damaged, weakened hair feel stronger and smoother, the way salon bond-building treatments do. The Remodeling Clinic is its treatment step, a rich rinse-off cream used after shampoo in place of, or in addition to, a conditioner. The brand designed it for hair damaged by bleaching, colouring, perms and heat styling, promising softer, smoother lengths after only 1 to 3 minutes. The tube holds 250 ml (8.45 oz). On Amazon.ca it is listed as a protein bonding, deep-conditioning hair treatment.
Key ingredients
- Bonding Peptide-78 (sh-oligopeptide-78): the line’s signature peptide, which the brand uses to support broken keratin chains in damaged hair.
- Hydrolyzed barley protein and glutamic acid: protein and amino-acid support for porous, weakened strands.
- Argan oil and sunflower seed oil: nourishment, softness and shine.
- Streptococcus thermophilus ferment: a fermented ingredient the brand includes for moisture.
- Dimethicone and amodimethicone: conditioning silicones that smooth the cuticle, reduce friction and make detangling easier.
- Behentrimonium and steartrimonium conditioning agents with fatty alcohols: the creamy conditioning base.

How to use
- Shampoo, then squeeze excess water out of your hair.
- Apply an appropriate amount evenly through the lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp.
- Work it in section by section, pressing firmly with your fingertips as if pushing the product into the hair.
- Leave on for about 1 to 3 minutes.
- Rinse lightly with lukewarm water. A light rinse leaves more conditioning on very damaged hair.
Tip: use it after every wash on bleached hair, or 2 to 3 times a week on mildly dry hair. Fine hair may need only a small amount on the ends.
Who it suits
The Remodeling Clinic suits people with bleached, highlighted or coloured hair, hair that has been permed or straightened, and anyone who uses a flat iron or blow dryer often. It is also helpful for long hair that tangles easily. Very fine or oily hair may find it heavy at the roots, so keep it on the lengths.
Who should be careful
For external use only and only as directed. Avoid contact with the eyes; if it gets in, rinse thoroughly with water. If redness, swelling or itching occurs during or after use, stop and consult a specialist. The brand also advises avoiding direct sunlight on the treated area after use. Keep out of reach of children and store away from direct sunlight. It contains fragrance and fragrance allergens (limonene, linalool, benzyl salicylate, benzyl benzoate).
Patch test first. Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm and wait 24 to 48 hours if you have a sensitive scalp or skin.

Frequently asked questions
Is it a conditioner or a hair mask?
It sits between the two: richer than a daily conditioner, but quick like one, with a 1 to 3 minute wait instead of the 10 to 20 minutes of most masks.
Does it repair split ends?
No product can glue split ends back together for good. It can make damaged ends feel smoother and look less frayed; a trim is the only permanent fix.
Is it safe for coloured hair?
Yes, it is designed for coloured and bleached hair. Wait a few days after colouring before using any intensive treatment if your colourist recommends it.
Does it contain silicones?
Yes, dimethicone and amodimethicone. They are what give the instant smooth, detangled feel.
