What is Liss Komplex Essentials Kit?

Liss Komplex Essentials Kit by Edelstein, from the Liss Komplex smoothing line, is the home routine for smooth, disciplined hair: two Liss Komplex Hydra Shampoo 250 ml and one Liss Komplex Hydra Mask 175 ml for dry, frizzy or unruly hair and for keeping a Liss Komplex smoothing looking fresh between salon visits. The shampoo cleanses at every wash with a base without SLES/SLS, and the mask, applied once or twice a week for 5-10 minutes, leaves the lengths soft, sleek and easy to comb. Keratin and silk proteins run through both products for hair with a smooth look and a silky shine.

How to use Liss Komplex Essentials Kit

1. Wet the hair, apply about 10 ml of Liss Komplex Hydra Shampoo and lather well, massaging scalp and lengths. Long or thick hair needs more.
2. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat if the hair carries a lot of styling product. The shampoo is used at every wash.
3. Once or twice a week, after the shampoo, towel-dry and apply about 25 ml of Liss Komplex Hydra Mask to damp lengths and ends, away from the roots.
4. Comb through to distribute the mask evenly, for example with the Flexion (L) detangling brush, and leave on for 5-10 minutes; 10 minutes on very dry or frizzy hair.
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and style.
