For visibly stronger, smoother, and treatment-ready hair, Cuticles Access System Gloss 2 is the upgraded 3-phase professional protocol designed to accompany and enhance any in-salon technical service. The kit includes two 500 ml alkaline shampoos, one 500 ml sealing mask, and two Nika Shimmer Oils (30 ml each). This thoughtful composition ensures optimal product balance and extended usability across multiple treatments. Use exclusively in combination with color, keratin, reconstruction, or cryotherapy services. Never use alone.

Why choose this product: Each advanced technical service requires a hair fiber that is properly opened, nourished, and sealed. This kit enhances treatment performance by improving absorption and locking in the benefits at the final stage. The inclusion of two alkaline shampoos reflects real salon usage, where the opening phase is often repeated or adjusted based on porosity. The final step with two Nika Shimmer Oils delivers smoothness, shine, and anti-frizz control that lasts up to 8 days. Perfect for colorists, stylists, and hair therapists seeking consistent, high-impact results.

Technical features: The first phase includes two bottles of Alkaline Shampoo (pH 8.2), enriched with Hydrolyzed Keratin to strengthen the internal structure and Hydrolyzed Silk for elasticity and softness, especially in treated hair. This dual-bottle format ensures longevity and flexibility across treatments. The second phase, the Sealing Mask, contains cationic emollients and hydrolyzed proteins to rebalance pH and fix the benefits of the technical treatment within the fiber. The third phase features two Nika Shimmer Oils, a lightweight anti-frizz serum powered by 7 nourishing oils and Color Guard technology. It provides shine, heat protection, and a long-lasting smoothing effect.

Benefits: Cuticles Access System Gloss 2 improves the penetration of active ingredients, reinforces the internal structure, and seals the hair for a lasting professional finish. Hair feels stronger, smoother, and easier to manage, with better color retention and reduced porosity. The dual shampoo format ensures enough product for repeated applications, while the sealing phase and Nika Shimmer Oils deliver luminous, protected hair with anti-frizz results lasting up to 8 days.

Application protocol:

1. Apply the alkaline shampoo to wet hair. Massage gently and leave on for 5–10 minutes depending on porosity. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Proceed with the desired technical treatment (color, keratin, cryotherapy, etc.).
3. Apply the sealing mask to towel-dried hair.

4. Serum usage – two professional methods:

   • Recommended: mix Nika Shimmer Oil with the mask before application, for enhanced sealing and nourishment.
   • Alternative: apply Nika Shimmer Oil as a leave-in on towel-dried hair before styling, to boost shine, thermal protection, and frizz control.

Usage tips: Use exclusively in combination with technical services. Do not apply as a standalone treatment. The dual shampoo format is especially useful after toner or bleach, where a second opening step is often needed. Avoid acidic shampoos beforehand. For fine or oily hair, mix shimmer oil with the mask to avoid buildup. Apply only 2–4 drops if used as a leave-in. Shimmer oil can also be recommended as home care to maintain salon results between services.
