What is Breakless?

Breakless by NIKA is a leave-in fluid of the K-Perfection line that makes dry, fragile lengths and ends easier to comb, smoother to the touch and shinier, in a 100 ml bottle for home use and for finishing in the salon. It is applied to damp lengths and ends before blow-drying or straightening and is not rinsed. The formula is based on the silicones Dimethicone and Dimethiconol with the light emollients Undecane and Tridecane, and contains Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin, a conditioning keratin derivative, and grape seed oil.

Specifications

Who Breakless is for

• Dry, fragile lengths and ends that tangle and feel rough.
• Hair that is often blow-dried or straightened and needs easier combing before styling.

• Salons that finish a care or keratin service with a leave-in on the ends.

Key ingredients

• Dimethicone and Dimethiconol: silicones that smooth the feel of the lengths, ease combing and add shine.
• Undecane and Tridecane: light emollients that help the fluid spread evenly and evaporate as the hair dries.
• Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin: a conditioning derivative of hydrolysed keratin.
• Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract: grape seed oil and grape extract, the plant ingredients of the formula.
• Tocopherol: vitamin E, which helps keep the oils of the formula stable.

Results

Damp hair combs more easily with less tangling, and after drying the lengths and ends feel smoother and look shinier. Breakless cares for the surface of the hair, for ends that feel softer and look more cared for from wash to wash.

How to use Breakless

1. Wash and condition the hair, then towel-dry it.
2. Apply about 3 ml to the damp hair, from mid-lengths to ends.
3. Comb through to distribute the fluid evenly.
4. Blow-dry, straighten or let the hair dry naturally. Do not rinse.
5. On fine hair, use a smaller amount to avoid weighing it down.
