OVID Prismatic Lock

The moment your color stops being vulnerable.

A post-color treatment that delivers an immediate chemical reset and a durable physical lock — all in one 3-5 minute step.

How to Use

Why Color Is Vulnerable After the Service

Even after rinsing, color-treated hair isn't truly finished. Residual alkalinity, oxidative stress, trace metals, and a still-lifted cuticle leave the fiber reactive.

This is when tone drifts, shine dulls, and texture starts to roughen — often before the first wash.

Prismatic Lock treats this as a chemistry problem, not a cosmetic one.

What Makes Prismatic Lock Different

Most post-color products soften the hair and hope the chemistry settles on its own. Prismatic Lock is engineered around timing and control.

It ends instability fast

The first 60–90 seconds matter most. Prismatic Lock rapidly drives the fiber back into a strongly acidic environment so the cuticle contracts and reactivity stops.

It neutralizes hidden fade drivers

Copper and iron accelerate oxidation and tone shift. Chelation during the reset binds these metals so they can't continue degrading color in the background.

It locks the finish, not just the feel

Once the fiber is stabilized, a lightweight film network forms that resists wash-out and water penetration while maintaining slip and gloss — without weight.

How to Use

Step 1 — Rinse thoroughly

After color or lightener. Shampoo only if required by the service.

Step 2 — Apply

Apply Prismatic Lock to mid-lengths and ends first, then distribute evenly.

Step 3 — Process

Leave on for 3 minutes. Use up to 5 minutes for high-porosity hair.

Step 4 — Rinse thoroughly

Do not shampoo again. Proceed to Prismatic Veil and styling.

Timing note: First minute resets the chemistry. Remaining time locks the finish

How It Works

Prismatic Lock follows a fixed two-phase sequence

This two-phase approach ensures both immediate stabilization and lasting protection

Phase 1: Chemical Reset (0–90 seconds)

Hair is rapidly returned to an acidic state. Metals are bound. The cuticle collapses into a more stable configuration.

Phase 2: Physical Lock (90 seconds–5 minutes)

On a tightened surface, a controlled film forms that:

Improves slip and optical gloss

Resists wash-out and water ingress

Reduces tone drift and frizz

Supports fade defense with antioxidant and UV protection

What’s Inside (and Why)

Prismatic Lock is built with premium actives selected to stabilize freshly colored hair and preserve the finish without weight.

It features a controlled acidic system that helps return hair to a balanced state after color, chelating agents that assist in neutralizing mineral and metal residue, and lightweight sealing polymers that smooth the cuticle and support shine retention. Antioxidant and UV-supporting ingredients help reduce ongoing oxidative stress so color clarity holds longer between services.

Everything here exists to end post-color vulnerability and lock in the result.

When to Reach for Prismatic Lock

When color looks perfect at the reveal but fades too quickly.

When tone warms or shifts after the first few washes.

When shine dulls faster than expected.

When hair feels rough again despite conditioning.

Continue the System

Prismatic Lock performs best as part of the full Prismatic Protocol.

Cleanse to remove interference. Lock to reset and seal. Veil to protect the finish through styling and wear.
