Key Takeaway
BigBasket.pk doesn't stock a L'Oréal rebonding kit because L'Oréal doesn't sell one anywhere. Here's what rebonding really costs in Pakistan and what to use instead.
There is no genuine loreal rebonding kit price in pakistan to quote, because L'Oréal has never sold hair rebonding as a boxed, do-it-yourself kit — in Pakistan or anywhere else. Rebonding is a multi-step chemical service performed in a salon with professional-grade relaxant, neutralizer and flat-ironing, and BigBasket.pk does not stock this item because it does not exist as a genuine retail product.
What you'll find listed as "L'Oréal rebonding kits" on Daraz, Instagram shops or local cosmetic markets are almost always unbranded relaxant creams repackaged under L'Oréal's name, or salon-only professional lines being resold without authorization. Below we break down what real rebonding actually involves, why the "kit" pricing you see online is misleading, and which genuine L'Oréal Paris haircare products from BigBasket.pk are worth using before and after a salon rebonding treatment.
What "L'Oréal Rebonding Kit" Searches Actually Mean
Searches for a rebonding kit price usually come from one of two places. The first is confusion with L'Oréal Professionnel salon systems — lines like X-Tenso or Smooth Intense that stylists buy through professional-only distributors and use in-salon. These are never sold as a consumer "kit" over the counter or online in Pakistan; L'Oréal does not package or price them for home use.
The second source is local sellers on Daraz, Instagram and open markets in Karachi's Saddar or Lahore's Anarkali who slap a "L'Oréal Rebonding Kit" label on generic relaxant-and-neutralizer sets that have nothing to do with the actual brand. Because BigBasket.pk only lists products we can verify against genuine, authorized inventory, you will not find this item on our site — and no legitimate Pakistani retailer selling authentic imported beauty products should be listing it either.
If your real goal is straighter, smoother, less frizzy hair rather than the specific word "rebonding," it is worth reading through to the aftercare section below, where we point to genuine L'Oréal Paris products that actually are available and verified.
How Rebonding Actually Works, Step by Step
Rebonding is a permanent chemical straightening process, not a product you squeeze from a tube. A stylist applies a strong alkaline relaxant cream that breaks the disulfide bonds holding your hair's natural texture in place, then flat-irons each section pin-straight while the cream is active. Once the hair is fully relaxed and ironed, a neutralizer (fixative) is applied to re-form the bonds in the new straight structure, locking the shape in.
The full process typically runs three to five hours depending on hair length, thickness and how much new growth needs treating, and it genuinely requires a trained hand — misjudging relaxant strength or leaving it on too long can cause severe breakage, hair snapping at the root, or chemical burns on the scalp. This is precisely why it is not, and cannot safely be, sold as a self-applied home kit.
New hair growth at the roots will always revert to its natural texture, so rebonded hair needs a root touch-up roughly every six to eight months — another reason a one-time "kit" purchase was never how this treatment worked in the first place.
Why Cheap "Rebonding Kit" Listings in Pakistan Are a Red Flag
When you do see a "L'Oréal rebonding kit" priced anywhere from roughly PKR 1,500 to 3,000 on local marketplaces, treat it as a warning sign rather than a bargain. Genuine relaxant and neutralizer chemicals are not retailed as consumer boxed sets by L'Oréal in Pakistan, so any listing using the brand name this way is either counterfeit, repackaged, or simply mislabelled generic stock.
The real risk isn't just wasted money. Relaxant creams are strong enough to restructure hair protein; used without correct strength selection, timing and neutralization by someone trained to judge your specific hair porosity, they can cause scalp chemical burns, severe dryness, and breakage that no serum can fully reverse. Counterfeit skincare and haircare is a well-known problem in Pakistani local markets, and rebonding chemicals are a category where the consequences of a fake product land on your scalp, not just your wallet.
Our standing rule at BigBasket.pk is simple: we only list what we can verify as authentic, sourced stock. Since no verified "L'Oréal rebonding kit" exists in that inventory, we would rather tell you plainly than sell you a workaround.
What Rebonding Actually Costs at a Salon in Pakistan
Because rebonding is a service, not a product, its price depends on the salon, not a box on a shelf. A small neighbourhood parlour using generic or local relaxant lines will always charge less than a premium salon using imported professional systems, and price also scales heavily with your hair's length, thickness and how much regrowth needs re-processing at the roots.
A few cost factors are consistent across Pakistan regardless of city: below-shoulder or waist-length hair costs meaningfully more than a shorter cut because it needs more product and more stylist time; previously coloured, bleached or keratin-treated hair usually needs a strand test and sometimes a protein pre-treatment, adding to the bill; and root touch-ups every six to eight months are an ongoing cost most people forget to budget for when they only think about the first session.
If a salon quotes you a number that sounds unusually low compared to others in the same city, ask directly which product line they use and whether they do a strand test first — a shortcut on either usually means a shortcut on your hair's health.

Genuine L'Oréal Products BigBasket.pk Stocks for Chemically Treated Hair
While we don't stock a rebonding kit, we do stock genuine L'Oréal Paris haircare that is genuinely useful before and after a salon straightening or smoothing service. The L'Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Hair Serum is a lightweight, non-greasy oil serum built to smooth frizz and add shine to dry, damaged or chemically processed hair — exactly the kind of finishing product stylists recommend once relaxed hair has settled, and it works well in both Karachi's humidity and the drier winter air of Lahore and Islamabad.
If your goal after straightening is also a richer colour rather than just shine, the L'Oréal Paris Casting Creme Gloss 360 Dark Red is a genuine, verified-stock permanent gloss colour — but wait at least two to three weeks after a chemical rebonding session before colouring, since stacking two strong chemical processes back to back is a common cause of breakage.
Relaxant chemicals can also leave the skin along your hairline and forehead feeling tight, dry or mildly irritated for a day or two. A gentle, fragrance-conscious cleanser like CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser is a sensible way to clean that area without adding further irritation on top of what the treatment already put your skin through.
Rebonding vs Keratin Treatment vs Smoothening: Which One Do You Actually Want
A lot of "rebonding kit" searches are really about frizz control, not permanent pin-straight hair, so it's worth knowing the difference before you book anything. Rebonding permanently restructures the hair to be straight until it grows out — it works on any texture, including tightly curly hair, but it is the most chemically intensive option and cannot be undone except by cutting the treated hair off.
Keratin treatment (sometimes called a keratin smoothening) coats the hair shaft with a protein-based formula and uses heat to seal it in; it reduces frizz and loosens curl pattern significantly without making hair board-straight, and it fades gradually over three to five months rather than growing out at the root only. It is generally gentler on hair health than rebonding.
Plain "smoothening" or blow-dry treatments sit somewhere between the two, or may just be a strong silicone/oil-based frizz treatment with no chemical restructuring at all. If Karachi's humidity or Lahore and Islamabad's dry winter static is your actual problem rather than wanting permanently straight hair, a keratin treatment plus a good daily serum such as the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Hair Serum may solve it with far less risk than rebonding.
How to Look After Rebonded Hair at Home
Whatever salon you choose, the first 72 hours after rebonding matter most: avoid tying your hair up, tucking it behind your ears, or clipping it, since the newly re-formed bonds can be reshaped by pressure while they're still settling. Most stylists also advise against washing for the first three days, and after that, switching to a sulfate-free shampoo helps the straightened structure last longer.
Once you're past the first week, working a small amount of a smoothing oil serum through mid-lengths and ends — the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Hair Serum is built for exactly this — helps control the frizz that regrowth and humidity will otherwise reintroduce, without weighing hair down.
Skip heat styling tools for at least two weeks, and if you also want to colour your hair, wait until the two-to-three-week mark so you're not layering two chemical processes on top of each other.

Common Mistakes
- Trusting any "L'Oréal rebonding kit" sold on Daraz or local markets — L'Oréal does not sell rebonding as a boxed home kit
- Attempting DIY relaxant application at home without professional strength selection and timing, risking scalp burns and breakage
- Colouring or bleaching hair within days of a rebonding session, stacking two harsh chemical processes back to back
- Skipping the strand test on previously treated (coloured, bleached or keratin-treated) hair before a stylist applies relaxant
- Tying hair up, using clips, or washing within the first 72 hours after rebonding, undoing the fresh bond structure
- Confusing rebonding (permanent straightening) with keratin smoothening (temporary frizz reduction) and booking the wrong service

Frequently Asked Questions
Does BigBasket.pk sell a L'Oréal rebonding kit?+
No. L'Oréal does not manufacture or sell hair rebonding as a boxed, do-it-yourself kit anywhere, including Pakistan, so BigBasket.pk does not stock one. Rebonding is a professional salon chemical service, not a retail product, and any "kit" listing using the L'Oréal name online is not genuine.
How much does rebonding cost in Pakistan if it's not a kit?+
Rebonding is priced as a salon service, so cost depends entirely on the salon's tier, the product line they use, and your hair's length and thickness rather than a fixed retail price. Smaller parlours using generic relaxants charge less than premium salons using imported professional systems, and root touch-ups roughly every six to eight months add to the ongoing cost.
Is it safe to do hair rebonding at home myself?+
It isn't recommended. Rebonding uses a strong alkaline relaxant that must be timed and strength-matched to your specific hair porosity by someone trained to judge it, and getting this wrong can cause scalp chemical burns or hair breakage that products can't reverse. This is also why L'Oréal has never sold it as a self-applied kit.
What's the difference between rebonding and a keratin treatment?+
Rebonding permanently restructures hair to be straight until it grows out and works on any hair texture, while a keratin treatment coats the hair shaft to reduce frizz and loosen curl without full straightening, fading gradually over three to five months. Keratin is generally gentler on hair health if permanently poker-straight hair isn't actually your goal.
What can I use on my hair after a rebonding treatment?+
A lightweight anti-frizz oil serum such as the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Hair Serum (PKR 1,440, from BigBasket.pk) applied to mid-lengths and ends helps control frizz and adds shine without weighing rebonded hair down. Avoid heat styling and colouring for at least two to three weeks after the salon session.
Are cheap "L'Oréal rebonding kits" on Daraz or local markets genuine?+
No — treat any rebonding kit sold under the L'Oréal name as counterfeit or mislabelled, since the brand does not retail this as a consumer product in Pakistan or elsewhere. These generic relaxant sets carry real risk of scalp irritation and hair damage because they're used without professional supervision.
The Short Version
TL;DR: There is no genuine L'Oréal rebonding kit — it doesn't exist as a retail product, so BigBasket.pk doesn't stock one, and any "kit" sold under that name online is counterfeit or mislabelled. Rebonding is a salon-only chemical straightening service priced by the salon, not a box; if you just want smoother, less frizzy hair with lower risk, use a genuine anti-frizz serum like the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Hair Serum and browse BigBasket.pk's skincare range for more verified imported essentials.
