Got questions? Don’t worry, we have the answers
What is R4 Intense Repair Leave-In Treatment?
R4 is a once-weekly leave-in mask that repairs dry, damaged hair deep into the cortex for stronger, softer, healthier hair after a single use.
How does R4 Leave-In Treatment work?
Powered by RDS Bond Technology, this bond repair leave-in strengthens, hydrates, and protects hair while reducing breakage by up to 80% after one application.
What are the key ingredients in R4 Leave-In Treatment?
RDS Bond Technology features hydrolysed wool protein to rebuild disulfide hair bonds. It also includes antioxidants and fruit extracts that boost shine and prevent dehydration. This bond system works to strengthen hair while maintaining softness and movement for healthier-looking hair.
Who should try bond repair leave-in treatment?
Bond repair leave-in is essential for anyone with damaged hair from heat styling or chemical treatments. If you experience hair breakage, split ends, dullness, or frizz, your hair bonds need repair.
How do I use R4 Leave-In Treatment?
After shampooing, towel-dry hair until damp (not soaking). Apply 1–3 pumps of bond repair leave-in from root to tip, leave for 3 minutes to activate, then style as usual — do not rinse.
How long does it take to see results after a single use of R4?
R4 works in just 3 minutes, repairing hair bonds while you style. Your hair becomes stronger, softer, and shinier immediately, with up to 80% less breakage and smoother, more manageable strands.
How often should I use R4 leave-in treatment?
Once a week is sufficient. Regular use of our R4 leave-in treatment ensures continuous bond repair and protection between washes.
Can R4 Leave-In Treatment replace conditioner?
Yes, R4 is designed to replace your conditioner during the once-weekly treatment, providing deep repair and hydration for the hair bonds.
How does R4 compare to other leave-ins?
Unlike traditional bond repair treatments, R4 is clinically dosed to repair bonds inside the hair shaft, not just coat the surface, leaving the hair feeling nourished & shiny.
Will R4 Leave-In Treatment make my hair greasy or heavy?
No, this leave-in is a lightweight, non-greasy, fast-absorbing cream that leaves hair soft, glossy, and hydrated.
Will R4 Leave-In Treatment enhance shine?
Yes, the RDS Bond Technology and slip-enhancing actives work together to smooth the hair cuticle and restore natural hair shine, leaving your hair glossy, soft, and healthy-looking.
Can R4 Leave-In Treatment help with hair breakage?
Yes, bond-building actives reduce hair breakage by up to 80% after one application.
Can Typebea Repair products be used on all hair types?
Yes, our bond repair treatment works for dry, brittle, chemically treated, coloured, or frizzy hair. The formulation restores integrity to chemically damaged hair, preventing colour fading by 67%. It also helps strengthen chemically treated hair, and maintains vibrancy.
Is Typebea bond repair suitable for sensitive scalp?
Yes, all hair bonders are made without silicone, paraben or sulphate, making it gentle for sensitive scalp and hair. Our paraben free and sulphate free hair care provide gentle formulas that clean & repair your hair without harsh chemicals.
Can I use R4 on dry hair?
Yes, while it’s designed for damp hair, R4 can also be applied to dry hair for smoothing and frizz control. Use alongside an anti-frizz styling serum for optimal frizz control.
How does bond repair work together in the routine?
The Typebea bond repair system works as a 4-step routine. Each product builds on the previous one to deliver repair and protection.
- R1 Pre-Wash Damage Repair Mask: A pre-wash for deep repair and hydration
- R2 Repair Shampoo: Gentle cleanses hair and provide hair bond protection
- R3 Damage Repair Conditioner: Detangles and strengthens hair, while restoring moisture
- R4 Intense Repair Leave-In Treatment: Reduces hair breakage, smooths frizz and protects colour
Can R4 Leave-In be layered with styling products?
Yes, it can be used under heat protectants, serums, or hair styling products such as S1 Styling Serum or S2 Sea Salt Spray without interfering with repair or absorption.
Can the Typebea Repair range be used with your Growth Range?
Yes! The Typebea Repair range is fully compatible with our hair growth products. You can use Typebea R1–R4 to repair and strengthen hair, then follow with Growth Range treatments such as Overnight Boosting Peptide.
Bond repair products like R4 Leave-In Treatment are lightweight and fast-absorbing, so they won’t interfere with any active hair growth ingredients — they actually help create a healthier foundation for stronger, more resilient hair.
