What is Pure Keratin Deep Conditioner?

Pure Keratin Deep Conditioner by NIKA is the home rinse-out conditioner of the K-Perfection line for hair weakened by colour, bleaching or heat styling, sold in a 250 ml bottle. It is applied to towel-dried lengths and ends after the wash, left on for 5-10 minutes (up to 15 for a more intensive treatment) and rinsed, 2-3 times a week. Its care ingredients are wheat and soy amino acids, Arginine HCl, Serine and Threonine, with Amodimethicone and cationic conditioning agents that leave the lengths softer and easier to comb.

Specifications

Who Pure Keratin Deep Conditioner is for

• Fragile hair styled often with heat.
• Home care between K-Perfection keratin services in the salon.

For the salon conditioner of the keratin treatment or a conditioner for dry and dull hair, see the comparison below.

Key ingredients

• Wheat Amino Acids and Soy Amino Acids: plant amino acids that condition the lengths and help them feel softer.
• Arginine HCl, Serine and Threonine: single amino acids that complement the conditioning of weakened hair.
• Behentrimonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine: conditioning agents that help detangling and combing after rinsing.
• Amodimethicone: a silicone that smooths the feel of the lengths and adds shine.
• Lactic Acid: adjusts the acidity of the formula and contributes to smoothness and shine.
• Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Leaf Extract: grape leaf extract, a botanical ingredient of the formula.

Results

After rinsing, the lengths are softer, easier to comb and shinier, and weakened ends feel smoother. With regular use, 2-3 times a week, weakened hair feels softer and more manageable between K-Perfection keratin services in the salon.

How to use Pure Keratin Deep Conditioner
