  • What causes hair damage?

    Hair damage is caused by everyday stressors like heat styling, colouring, chemical treatments, UV exposure and environmental factors that weaken the hair’s internal bonds.

  • What is a bond repair treatment?

    A bond repair treatment is a targeted formula that works inside the hair fibre to rebuild broken bonds, strengthen strands and restore softness and shine.

  • How does RDS Bond work?

    RDS Bond uses a blend of clinically proven actives to penetrate deep into the hair cortex, repairing damaged bonds while protecting against future breakage.

What is R1 Pre-Wash Damage Repair Mask?

R1 Pre-Wash Damage Repair Mask is a replenishing hydration bond repair hair mask designed to condition and soften damaged hair from the inside out. Applied at least 20 minutes before washing, this bond repair hair mask uses our RDS Bond Technology to penetrate all three levels of the hair—medulla, cortex, and cuticle—helping to strengthen, repair, and seal hair bonds while restoring hydration for healthier, more resilient hair.

How do I use R1?

Apply this bond repair hair mask once a week to dry or damp hair and leave for at least 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with R2 Repair shampoo and R3 Damage Repair Conditioner.

Do I need to wet my hair before applying R1?

No, R1 Repair Mask can be applied directly to dry hair, so you don't need to wait in the shower.

How often should I use R1?

Use this bond repair hair mask once a week, or more often if your hair is very damaged or chemically treated.

Can I leave R1 for longer than 20 minutes?

Yes, R1 can be left in the hair longer than 20 minutes, including overnight, for deeper hair bonds repair.

What results will I see after one use of R1?

Hair is instantly softer, stronger, smoother, and healthier, with up to 80% less combing breakage after a single application of R1 Repair Mask.

What results can I expect with ongoing use of R1?

After 3 applications of this bond repair hair mask, you can expect less dryness, reduced frizz, stronger hair, and improved shine, softness, and overall condition through consistent hair bonds repair.

What makes R1 different from other hair masks?

Unlike traditional masks, R1 is a pre-wash bond repair hair mask that works before cleansing. Its bond-repair actives penetrate all three layers of the hair (medulla, cortex, cuticle) for hair bonds repair that lasts beyond the surface.

Is R1 suitable for fine hair?

Yes, R1 is suitable for all hair types, including fine hair. The lightweight formula strengthens without weighing hair down. For fine hair that needs volume, pair with our dry shampoo for hair growth between wash days to maintain lift while supporting scalp health.

Is R1 suitable for coloured or chemically treated hair?

Yes, this bond repair hair mask is specifically designed to repair chemical damage and helps prevent colour fading by up to 67%.

Does R1 protect against environmental stress?

Yes, R1 Repair Mask contains antioxidants that defend against UV damage and pollution while repairing hair bonds.

Is R1 vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes! R1 is vegetarian-friendly, gluten-free, and Sephora Clean compliant. It contains no silicones, parabens, or sulphates.

How long does it take for R1 to work?

R1 works immediately upon application, with the RDS Bond Technology beginning to repair hair bonds within the first 20 minutes. You'll notice softer, stronger hair after just one use, with optimal hair bonds repair achieved through weekly treatments as part of the complete 4-step system.

Can I use R1 with hair styling products?

Yes, R1 creates the perfect foundation for hair styling. After completing your wash routine, apply heat protectants like anti frizz hair styling serum or sea salt hair spray for enhanced styling results while maintaining the hair bonds repair benefits.

Can I use R1 with hair growth products?

Absolutely! R1 Repair Mask is fully compatible with our hair growth products. Use R1 to strengthen and repair hair bonds, creating the foundation for growth treatments like our peptide hair serum. Strong, healthy hair bonds are essential for retaining length and supporting growth.

Can R1 replace my regular conditioner?

No, R1 Repair Mask is a pre-wash treatment designed to work before shampooing. After using R1 and shampooing, you'll still need a conditioner like R3 for detangling and moisture. For a complete routine, consider our hair care set which includes complementary products for comprehensive hair care.

How does R1 work with the bond repair system?

R1 works as the first step in TYPEBEA's bond repair treatment system. Start with R1 for deep weekly repair, follow with R2 Repair Shampoo for gentle cleansing, use R3 Damage Repair Conditioner for moisture, or finish with R4 Repair Leave-In for lasting protection.

Should I choose R1 Damage Repair Mask or R4 Leave-In?

Choose R1 if your hair is severely damaged, dry, or chemically treated and needs intensive weekly repair. Choose R4 if you want ongoing leave-in protection, intense damage repair benefits, and easier application after shampooing.
