What it is
THE ANSWER set is a Japanese hair-care trio from Kao: a Super Lamellar Shampoo (400ml), EX Gloss Treatment (220g), and a Complete Lamella Milk mini (6g). Built on lamellar technology that stores repair ingredients in the hair, the set delivers five hair essentials for moisture, smoothness, shine, and manageability, in a bergamot and daphne scent.
Why it's different
Its lamellar-platform technology stores care ingredients in a lamellar layer, so the shampoo carries far more than usual.
Five hair essentials, including hydrolyzed keratin and a ceramide, repair for moisture, shine, and smoothness.
The trio covers cleanse, in-shower treatment, and a leave-in milk for heat and frizz protection.
Key ingredients
Hydrolyzed keratin: repairs and strengthens the feel of hair
Ceramide alpha: helps restore smoothness and moisture
Malic acid and lanolin acid: support shine and heat-damage repair
How to use
1. Shampoo: lather through wet hair, then rinse well.
2. Treatment: on towel-blotted hair, smooth through the mid-lengths to ends, then rinse.
3. Milk: after towel-drying, work a little through the hair and dry.
4. Use the milk before heat styling too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. We only buy from official retailers and directly from the brands here in Japan. Never resellers, never grey market stock.
We are beauty lovers too, so we know the worry, especially with something you are putting on your face. Authenticity is 100% guaranteed by us.
What is lamellar technology?
It builds a lamellar layer inside the shampoo and milk that stores repair ingredients, so more care is held and delivered to the hair. The brand says it packs many times more care ingredients than usual.
What order do I use the three products?
Shampoo first, then the EX Gloss Treatment in the shower on the mid-lengths and ends, rinsed out. After towel-drying, apply the leave-in Lamella Milk and dry. The milk also works before heat styling.
Who is this set best for?
Hair that wants more moisture, shine, and smoothness, including hair stressed by heat, color, and dryness. The five hair essentials focus on repair and manageability.
Does the leave-in milk protect from heat?
Yes. The Complete Lamella Milk helps guard against heat and friction damage and against frizz from UV, humidity, and dryness, so it suits use before blow-drying or ironing.
