Fibre Clinix was introduced in 2021 after their move to discontinue their Fibreplex range, Schwarzkopf’s competitor to the Olaplex range, a Californian brand established in 2014. Unlike Fibreplex and Olaplex, Fibre Clinix is modular hair care regimen designed for five different hair profiles:
- Colour treated hair (Fibre Clinix Vibrancy)
- Damaged hair (Fibre Clinix Fortify)
- Dry and brittle hair (Fibre Clinix Hydrate)
- Fine and weak hair (Fibre Clinix Volumize)
- Coarse, frizzy and unmanageable hair (Fibre Clinix Tame)
Fibre Clinix is designed to be used as part of a daily routine and offers a Shampoo, Conditioner, Treatment (concentrated version of conditioner), Spray conditioner (leave-in) and a booster, an alternative to the spray conditioner that seals the hairs porosity.
The whole range uses advanced bonding technology, which according to Schwarzkopf, is based on 10 years of research and strengthens the hair from within. In their brand book, it claims they contain a tri-valention that builds new bonds through the creation of a 3-dimensional network inside the hair fibre. This leads to resiliency and hair that is 10 times stronger compared to untreated hair.
Fibre Clinix Vibrancy
Fibre Clinix vibrancy is designed to negate the causes of fading in coloured hair which include:
1. Water and surfactants: A main factor causing colour fading are water and surfactants. Hair is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs humidity from the environment. When we cleanse our hair, the hair absorbs a lot of water and the diameter of the hair increases which can lead to the loss of colour molecules.
2. Environmental and metal traces: Healthy hair retains colour due to an intact cuticle. Any damage, whether from sun (UV-light), chlorine, salt water or heat, speeds up the colour fading. Also, copper particles from tap water create free radicals that can damage the cuticle further during oxidation via the colour process. These free radicals contribute to interfere with colour retention and influence the stability of the colour molecules.
Fibre Clinix Fortify
Fibre Clinix Fortify is designed for damaged and over-processed hair whether it is permanently straightened or permed.
The formulas with Triple Bonding & C21 Technology and Niacinamide strengthen and nourish the hair fibre, with Niacinamide strengthens the hair from inside out. Niacinamide is also known as Vitamin B3. It is a powerful antioxidant, used to neutralize the damaging free radicals created by the environment and to reduce signs of ageing. In skin care Niacinamide is known to protect the skin from heat and all its unwanted side effects.
Fibre Clinix Hydrate
Fibre Clinix Hydrate is designed for dry and brittle hair types. The formulas with Triple Bonding & C21 Technology and Squalane Complex, balances the moisture level and helps to increase elasticity. With Squalane Complex helps to moisturise the hair. Squalane is an unsaturated hydrocarbon, a clear, colourless liquid.
Fibre Clinix Tame
Fibre Clinix Tame is designed for coarse, frizzy and unmanageable hair. The formulas with Triple Bonding & C21 Technology and Ceramide, visibly tames the hair structure and smoothes the surface for an anti-frizz effect. With Ceramide smoothes the hair ́s surface and gives an anti-frizz effect. Ceramide is a type of lipid which is a natural component of the hair.
Fibre Clinix Volumize
Fibre Clinix Volumize is designed for fine and weak hair. The formulas with Triple Bonding & C21 Technology and Phytokine, provides a lightweight hair feeling, with Phytokine provides a lasting anti-static effect, control and stability to the hair. Phytokine is a soy bean extract, modified by biotechnology. In skin care Phytokine is known for rebuilding the dermis, through its efficient activation of collagen. It effectively corrects skin elasticity and restores the in-depth water reservoir of the skin.
