What is INEJ Smooth Mask?

INEJ Smooth Mask by Code Zero is an intensive rinse-out smoothing mask of the INEJ line for dry, frizz-prone and hard-to-manage hair, in a 500 ml size for home use and the salon wash basin. Left on the lengths for 5-10 minutes once or twice a week, it leaves the hair soft, supple and shiny, with a smoother, more disciplined look. Glycerin, panthenol, sesame oil and hydrolysed rice and soy proteins give the lengths moisture, softness and a silky touch.

Key ingredients
