Kao Essential Soft and Moisturizing Treatment (hair mask) 250g

Bad hair days happen. But chronically dry, stiff, "I've-tried-everything" hair? That's a different story — and this mask from Kao's Essential line is exactly what it needs. Thirty seconds of leave-in time and your hair goes from rough to genuinely soft. Not product-coating soft. Actually soft.

• ✦By Kao Japan — decades of hair science packed into this one jar
• ✦250g — plenty for weekly deep-treatment sessions
• ✦Intensive moisture repair — works on heat damage, dryness and chemical processing
• ✦Results from the very first use — hair feels different the same day

• ✦Cationic Surfactants (Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine) — bonds to damaged hair sites and smooths the cuticle from inside out
• ✦Hydrolyzed Keratin — rebuilds the internal structure of hair damaged by heat and chemicals
