Camellia Oil & Active Repair Ingredients

Camellia Oil & Active Repair Ingredients

We source our camellia oil from tsubaki flowers grown in Japan’s mineral-rich volcanic soil. This oil contains over 85% oleic acid, which mimics your hair’s natural lipids and slips between cuticle layers to repair micro-damage.

The formula includes hydrolyzed keratin and wheat protein that fill in gaps caused by thermal stress. Our Cool & Repair Shampoo works gradually — the 50-wash bottle gives your hair enough time to rebuild structural integrity before you see maximum results.


How to Use Cool & Repair Shampoo

How to Use Cool & Repair Shampoo

Application Technique

Wet your hair thoroughly with warm water for at least 30 seconds — this opens cuticles so the camellia oil can penetrate deeper. Dispense a quarter-sized amount (more for thick or long hair) and massage into your scalp using your fingertips, not nails.

Work the lather from roots to ends, spending extra time on heat-damaged sections. The 50 applications in each bottle mean you can afford to use enough product for a proper cleanse.


Who Benefits Most from Cool & Repair

Who Benefits Most from Cool & Repair

This shampoo transforms hair that’s brittle, frizzy, or prone to breakage from hot tools. If you flat iron, blow-dry, or curl your hair more than twice a week, the protein-building formula addresses the specific weaknesses heat creates in your hair structure.

Color-treated and chemically relaxed hair thrives with our sulfate-free blend. The pH 5.5 formula won’t strip artificial pigments or disrupt previous treatments, making it safe to use starting the day you leave the salon.

Finally found shampoo that repairs my flat-ironed hair
I straighten my naturally wavy hair every single day, and it was getting so brittle. After about two weeks with Cool & Repair — maybe 12 washes from the 50-use bottle — my hair actually bends instead of snapping. The cooling feeling is addictive too.

Doesn’t weigh down my fine hair
Most repair shampoos make my thin hair look greasy by noon. This one cleans really well and still fixes my damaged ends. I’m about halfway through the bottle and my hairdresser already noticed the difference.

Safe for my color and actually works
I was nervous to try a new shampoo after dropping money on balayage, but Cool & Repair didn’t strip my color at all. The camellia oil made my dry ends look healthier within a week. Love that the bottle lasts almost two months.

Great for heat damage, mint smell is strong
My hair is way shinier and less frizzy since I started using this. The menthol scent is really minty-fresh if you’re into that — I got used to it. Definitely helps with the breakage I got from my curling iron habit.

Actually get 50 washes from the bottle
I have shoulder-length hair and I’m on wash 47 according to my shower calendar. The pump dispenses just the right amount so you don’t waste product. My hair feels stronger and the cooling tingle wakes me up in the morning.

Stopped my breakage from blow-drying
I blow-dry and round-brush every morning for work. My hair was snapping off at the crown until I switched to Tsubaki Cool & Repair. Three weeks in and I can run my fingers through without finding broken pieces. The protein treatment actually works.

Your Cool & Repair Shampoo Questions Answered

Each 500ml bottle provides approximately 50 full washes when you use a quarter-sized amount per application. This translates to about 6-8 weeks of daily washing for most hair lengths and types.

If you have very long or thick hair and need more product per wash, you’ll get closer to 35-40 uses. The pump dispenser helps you control portions so you can stretch the bottle to its full 50-wash potential.

We’ve formulated the menthol concentration to refresh and stimulate without causing dryness or sensitivity. The cooling sensation you feel during washing dissipates within minutes of rinsing.

The camellia oil and botanical extracts in Cool & Repair actually hydrate your scalp while the menthol improves circulation. Thousands of users with sensitive scalps use it daily without issues. If you have a medical scalp condition, test on a small area first or consult your dermatologist.

Yes — the sulfate-free, pH-balanced formula is specifically safe for color-treated, highlighted, relaxed, and permed hair. The 5.5 pH matches your hair’s natural acidity, which helps seal dye molecules inside the cuticle instead of washing them out.

Many colorists recommend Cool & Repair to clients because the camellia oil repairs the damage that chemical processes cause while protecting the treatment you paid for. You can start using it the same day you leave the salon.

You’ll see repair results with Cool & Repair Shampoo alone, but pairing it with our matching conditioner amplifies the benefits. The conditioner contains complementary camellia oil and amino acids that seal in the treatment your shampoo started.

That said, the shampoo works with any conditioner you prefer. If you already love a different conditioner, keep using it — just make sure it’s sulfate-free so it doesn’t undo the repair work. Each product in our 50-wash bottles is formulated to deliver results independently.

Most users notice smoother texture and easier detangling after 3-5 washes from their 50-use bottle. Visible repair to breakage and split ends typically appears within 2-3 weeks of consistent use.

Severely damaged hair may need the full 50 washes — about 6-8 weeks — to rebuild enough protein bonds for dramatic transformation. The camellia oil works cumulatively, so the longer you use Cool & Repair Shampoo, the stronger and shinier your hair becomes.

Cool & Repair is gentle enough for daily washing and actually works best with consistent use. The 50-wash bottle is designed for everyday application so the repair ingredients can build on each other over time.

If your hair is extremely dry or coarse, you might alternate it with our Damage Care Shampoo for extra moisture. But most users — especially those actively heat-styling — benefit from using Cool & Repair every single wash for continuous protection and repair.

Cool & Repair targets heat damage specifically with its amino acid and protein complex that rebuilds bonds broken by hot tools. The menthol component also makes it ideal if you want a refreshing, invigorating wash.

Our Damage Care Shampoo focuses on deep moisture for extremely dry, brittle hair. Volume Touch is formulated for fine hair that needs repair without weight. Scalp Care emphasizes buildup removal and soothing irritation. All contain camellia oil, but each addresses a different primary concern beyond general repair.
