“I honestly can’t believe the difference in my hair after just one wash and treatment”
Beauty brand Give Me Cosmetics has earned an enviable reputation for its haircare formulations, having attracted a celebrity fan base that includes the likes of Michelle Keegan, Rita Ora and Nicole Scherzinger. Now, the label has launched a brand-new collection that promises salon-worthy results, making it perfectly suited to hair that has suffered damage from heat styling or colour treatments.
The new Recode Bonding haircare range comprises a shampoo, conditioner, leave-in mask and hair oil, which would normally cost you £73 for the full set. However, to celebrate the launch, Give Me Cosmetics has put together a wallet-friendly bundle that gets you all four products for just £50, with free delivery at present.
Designed specifically for damaged, bleached, colour-treated or heat-stressed hair, the range focuses on strengthening weakened strands while helping to reduce split ends and breakage. The launch taps into the soaring popularity of bond-building haircare, brought to prominence by brands such as Olaplex and K18, yet at a far more affordable price point.
While premium treatments can easily set you back upwards of £25 for a single product, Give Me Cosmetics’ bundle is priced at £50, working out at just £12.50 per item. The brand also claims the products are clinically proven to deliver 55% fewer split ends after just one use, reports OK!
The star ingredient is RonaCare Biotin Plus, a component designed to strengthen the hair’s keratin structure and boost elasticity. The brand says the products help repair damaged bonds while leaving hair softer, smoother and shinier, without the heavy, coated feeling some repair masks can leave behind.

Revive damaged hair with the Give Me Recode Bonding Haircare Range. Powered by RonaCare Biotin Plus, it helps repair, strengthen, and protect while reducing breakage and split ends. Leaving hair smoother, stronger, and healthier.
The leave-in mask appears to be the hero product of the range, designed to be used once or twice a week in place of conditioner. After shampooing, users apply the mask to towel-dried hair, leave it on for five minutes, then blow dry before finishing with the hair oil for extra shine and frizz control.
Over at Space NK, the K18 HAIR Damaged Hair Rescue set is available for £50, although the product sizes are considerably smaller than Give Me Cosmetics. The set features a travel-sized Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo (53ml), K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask (15ml) and HeatBounce Conditioning Heat Protectant (47ml), making it a brilliant way to try the brand before investing in the significantly more expensive full-sized versions.
Over at LookFantastic, the Olaplex Hero Bundle is well worth a look, featuring a trio of bond-repairing haircare products specifically formulated to visibly strengthen and maintain healthy, glossy hair between salon visits. Priced at £92, it includes a full-sized No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner and No.3 Hair Perfector.
For beauty fans looking for a seasonal treat, Give Me Cosmetics has launched its Summer Solstice Savings event, with some cracking deals across its best-selling bundles. The Summer Prep Bundle, for instance, is one of the standout offerings, packing £83 worth of products for just £25.
The all-in-one collection is designed to keep hair, skin and lips nourished, protected and radiant throughout the warmer months. It includes an Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Shampoo and Conditioner, a Wide Tooth Comb, a Vitamin C Cleanser, Broad Spectrum SPF50, Peach Punch Body Scrub, Sunset Serenity Body Spray, Candy Floss Lip Scrub and Lemonade Lip Repair.
Further bargains include The Full Haircare Set, slashed from £35 to £24. Worth £71, the seven-piece set has been thoughtfully put together to nourish, strengthen and repair hair, with full-sized products formulated to restore dry and dehydrated locks in one handy collection.
The Four Curls Full Haircare Set is also reduced, down from £45 to £32, ideal for those with curly, wavy, kinky and coily hair types. Beauty enthusiasts can grab selected haircare duos from £9, alongside body trio sets from £25 — perfect for the warmer weather.
Turning back to the new Recode Bonding haircare range, shoppers have already been leaving their feedback on the Give Me Cosmetics website. One customer said their hair felt “like I’ve just walked out of a salon”, adding: “I have hair that is very frizzy and flyaway, usually have to use lots of different products. I’ll not need to anymore. Absolutely love, love, love this product. Hair is nice and straight with no need for a straightener.”
Another wrote: “I honestly can’t believe the difference in my hair after just one wash and treatment. It’s never been so soft! It brightened my hair colour up too. The products are light and smell unreal. I have used Give Me Cosmetics hair care for years and been impressed, but this is another level. Will be stocking up.
“My split ends have been an issue for years to the point where I found myself wearing my hair in a bun every day,” a third commented: “After consistently using Recode, my hair no longer looks damaged, and I can style it however I want, and it looks so healthy. This routine is my new holy grail.”
At present, there are no negative reviews of the new formulas to be found online, and while the early feedback looks promising, Give Me Cosmetics is still relatively new to the science-led repair category. As a result, some shoppers may prefer to hold off until more reviews and longer-term results emerge before making the full switch from their current go-to products — particularly if those products are already delivering results.
As is always the case with both hair and skincare, it’s worth remembering that what suits one person may not necessarily suit another.
That said, for anyone looking to restore sun-damaged, heat-styled or colour-treated hair without forking out salon prices, the Recode Bonding Full Haircare Set could well be one of the more wallet-friendly ways to get in on the bond repair trend for less.
