Advanced Repair Technology & Ingredients

Advanced Repair Technology & Ingredients

Our Premium EX line represents over 50 years of camellia oil research, bringing Japanese haircare innovation to your daily routine. The conditioner’s base ingredient, tsubaki (camellia) oil, has been treasured in Japan for centuries for its ability to smooth hair cuticles and lock in moisture without weighing hair down.

The dual keratin complex works at two levels: hydrolyzed keratin fills surface damage and cracks, while amino keratin penetrates the hair cortex to rebuild internal structure. This two-part approach addresses both cosmetic appearance and long-term hair health. Royal jelly extract supplies B-vitamins and minerals that strengthen the hair shaft, reducing future breakage.


Application & Usage Instructions

Application & Usage Instructions

How to Apply for Maximum Repair

After shampooing, gently squeeze excess water from your hair—conditioner penetrates best when hair is damp but not soaking wet. Dispense two to three pumps (adjust based on hair length) into your palm and distribute evenly through mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the scalp area.

For intensive repair, leave the conditioner on for three to five minutes. The formula continues working during this time as ingredients penetrate the cuticle layers. If your hair is severely damaged, use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product and detangle while conditioning.


Hair Types & Damage Levels

Hair Types & Damage Levels

This conditioner is engineered specifically for damaged hair that has lost strength, elasticity, or shine due to coloring, bleaching, perming, or frequent heat styling. If your hair feels dry, brittle, or rough to the touch, or if you notice increased breakage and split ends, the Premium EX formula will address these concerns.

We’ve tested this conditioner on all hair textures—straight, wavy, curly, and coily—with successful results across the board. The non-silicone formula makes it particularly suitable for fine or thin hair that becomes weighed down easily, while the rich repair complex satisfies the needs of thick, coarse, or very dry hair.

Transformed my bleached hair completely
I’ve bleached my hair twice and it was absolutely fried—dry, breaking constantly, and felt like straw. After using this conditioner for three weeks with the matching shampoo, my hair is soft again and the breakage has stopped. The 50-hour moisture claim is real; my hair stays hydrated even when I skip a day of washing.

Better than salon conditioning treatments
I was spending $40 every month on deep conditioning treatments at my salon. This conditioner gives me the same smooth, shiny results at home for a fraction of the price. The camellia oil smell is beautiful and not overpowering. My stylist asked what I’ve been using because my hair looks so much healthier.

Finally found something for my coarse curly hair
My 3B curls need serious moisture and most conditioners either weigh them down or don’t penetrate enough. This one strikes the perfect balance—my curls are defined, bouncy, and the frizz is gone. I leave it on for the full five minutes and my hair drinks it up. No silicone buildup either.

Noticeable difference in split ends
I was skeptical about any conditioner actually helping split ends, but this one genuinely seals them so my hair looks cleaner at the ends. I still need trims, but I can go longer between cuts now. The pump bottle is convenient and the product lasts about six weeks with daily use on shoulder-length hair.

My color lasts so much longer now
I get my hair professionally colored every eight weeks and this conditioner has extended how long my color looks fresh. The 50-hour moisture seal really does protect against fading. My red tones stay vibrant instead of turning brassy. I also love that it’s not silicone-heavy like other color-safe conditioners.

Repair you can feel immediately
The first time I used this, I could feel my hair getting softer as I rinsed it out. It’s not a gradual thing—you notice the difference right away. After a month of use, my hair has actual elasticity again instead of snapping when I brush it. The keratin formula really works.

Common Questions About Premium EX Intensive Repair Conditioner

Most customers notice improved softness and manageability after the first use, with hair feeling smoother and easier to detangle. Visible repair of damage—including reduced breakage, sealed split ends, and restored shine—typically becomes apparent within two to three weeks of consistent use.

The 50-hour moisture retention works immediately, but deeper structural repair from the keratin complex builds progressively as the ingredients restore your hair’s protein bonds over time. For severely damaged hair, we recommend using the conditioner daily for the first month, then adjusting to your maintenance schedule.

Yes, the non-silicone formula is specifically designed to avoid the heavy buildup that weighs down fine hair. The camellia oil and keratin complex are lightweight yet effective, providing repair and moisture without coating hair in thick residue.

Apply the conditioner primarily to mid-lengths and ends rather than roots, and rinse thoroughly. Most customers with fine hair report increased volume and body rather than flatness, because healthy, repaired hair naturally has more lift than damaged hair.

Absolutely—this conditioner is formulated specifically with color-treated and chemically processed hair in mind. The pH-balanced formula and 50-hour moisture seal help preserve color vibrancy by preventing premature fading and washing out of dye molecules.

The antioxidant properties of camellia oil protect against UV damage that can alter hair color, while the keratin complex repairs damage from the coloring process itself. Many professional colorists recommend this conditioner to their clients for maintaining color between salon visits.

The Intensive Repair Conditioner is designed for daily or regular use (three to seven times per week) as part of your standard washing routine. It provides ongoing repair and the 50-hour moisture seal between washes.

The Premium Repair Hair Mask is a more concentrated treatment meant for weekly use on extremely damaged hair. It has a thicker consistency, higher concentration of repair ingredients, and requires a longer application time (10-15 minutes). We recommend using both: the conditioner regularly and the mask once weekly for maximum repair.

Our Premium EX Intensive Repair Conditioner is silicone-free and sulfate-free. We formulated it without these ingredients because they can create buildup on hair and scalp, preventing moisture and nutrients from penetrating effectively.

Instead, we use plant-derived conditioning agents and camellia oil to create smoothness and shine without coating hair. This makes the conditioner suitable for those following curly girl method guidelines or anyone sensitive to silicones. It rinses clean and won’t cause the limp, greasy feeling that some silicone conditioners create over time.

For shoulder-length hair, start with two to three pumps of conditioner. Short hair typically requires one to two pumps, while long or very thick hair may need four to five pumps.

The key is applying enough to coat mid-lengths and ends thoroughly without excess dripping off. Squeeze out excess water from your hair before applying—damp (not soaking) hair allows better product penetration. You can always add more if needed, but starting with less prevents waste and ensures you’re not weighing hair down with unnecessary product.

Yes, heat damage is one of the primary damage types this conditioner addresses. The dual keratin complex rebuilds the protein structure that heat styling breaks down, while the 50-hour moisture seal helps prevent future dehydration from styling tools.

For best results, use the conditioner consistently and pair it with our Premium Moist Leave-In Treatment before heat styling. The camellia oil’s natural heat-protective properties add an extra layer of defense. Most customers with heat-damaged hair report significant improvement in texture and reduced breakage within three to four weeks of use.
