More about this product

Hair has natural lamellar layers (thin, alternating layers of water and oil) that keep strands smooth and flexible. Kao builds the same kind of lamellar structure inside the milk itself and stores the care ingredients within it, a system the brand calls its Lamella Platform. The formula is built on the five ingredients Kao's 100 years of hair research points to as essential, and packs in 14 repair ingredients at the highest concentration the brand has used. It also works before a flat iron or curling iron, helping protect hair from heat damage. The vacuum pump tube dispenses without air getting in, so the formula stays fresh to the last push.
