What it is
This is the ultimate damage care product, born from the combination of Izu's natural beauty and regenerative science. From the IZU series, which has won over 20 Best Cosmetics awards, comes Bond Repair, which reconstructs hair from within. This regenerative hair care product addresses the complex damage faced by modern hair, including coloring and bleaching 1.5 to 3 times a month, daily heat damage, and loss of volume and strength due to aging. The key is the bonds within hair. uka focuses on these bond damages and has reconstructed the "Bond Repair" method used in hair salons for home care. Centered around reactive keratin hydrolyzed keratin (wool), rebonding ingredients such as fiber hans, tostearic acid, and levulinic acid work together to create a 3D structure within hair, restoring strength, elasticity, and luster. Furthermore, its unique formula utilizes the heat of hair dryers and irons to repair damaged hair, leaving it incredibly moisturized and supple, even though it's silicone-free. The base is made with Kuromoji water (10%), the origin of the IZU series. This product isn't just about making your hair look good, it's about truly strengthening it. Enjoy the most restorative power in uka's history, every day during your bath. [Recommended for] Those who repeatedly bleach, tone, and color their hair; Those who use irons and curling irons every day; Those concerned about loss of firmness, strength, and volume due to age; Those looking to fundamentally transform their hair texture. 1. Using unique ingredients from each region, we preserve the forest, ocean, and rural environments. Restore the natural suppleness of your hair and scalp with healthy Kuromoji grown in the Izu Peninsula forests, lustrous Funori from the ocean, and supple Camellia from Toshima. We developed ingredients from the bounty of nature to bring healthy scalp and hair, lustrous strength, and smooth, silky texture, and we researched a formula that is easy to use and draws out its power. 2. The carefully crafted fragrance is a blend of woody rose (rose, kuromoji, cypress, patchouli). The scent is a woody rose that expresses the rain, soil, forest, and sea of Izu with rose, kuromoji, cypress, and patchouli. The packaging continues to use biomass materials, and the heavy containers have been made to last longer than previous products.
Ingredients
How to use
1. Thoroughly wet your scalp and hair with lukewarm water (below 38°C) and pre-wash thoroughly. Pre-washing thoroughly will improve shampoo lather and reduce friction damage. Washing with hot water can accelerate color fading. 2. Lather an appropriate amount in your palm, then apply to your scalp and work it into a lather. Massage with your fingertips or a spatula. For a fluffy lather, work your hands around the hair to incorporate air without rubbing. [Appropriate amount] Long hair: 2-3 pumps / Medium hair: 1-2 pumps / Short hair: 0.5-1 pump. 3. Once the lather has been distributed throughout your scalp and hair, leave it on for 3 minutes as a foam pack. The lather acts as a cushion, adhering evenly to your hair. The repairing and moisturizing ingredients penetrate deeply, leaving your hair feeling smoother after shampooing. Rinse thoroughly after 3 minutes.
