Affinage Kitoko Hair Treatment Oil 290ML

The Kitoko Advanced Hair Therapy Oil is one of those products that quietly earns a permanent place in your haircare routine. This 290ml salon-size bottle is the full professional version — an indulgent blend of Karité Shea Butter and Argan Oil with vitamins E and F and a naturally derived UV filter, all wrapped up in a lightweight formula that absorbs instantly without any of the greasy residue cheaper oils tend to leave behind. Suitable for every hair type, from fine through to thick, and genuinely effective on dry, damaged, frizzy or colour-treated hair. From the A.S.P Kitoko range.

What makes this oil different

There are a lot of hair oils on the market, and most of them are built around a single headline ingredient. The Kitoko Oil Treatment is built around two hero ingredients working together, which is what makes the formula noticeably more effective than single-oil competitors:

• Karité (Shea Butter) is rich in Vitamins E and F and properly packed with natural antioxidants. It's one of the most respected natural moisturisers in hair and skin care for a reason — it deeply nourishes, tames frizz, and leaves hair silky, soft and effortlessly manageable. Crucially, Karité works on the hair without leaving it feeling heavy.
• Argan Oil is packed with omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids and is the ingredient that delivers the shine, the strength, and the softness you feel immediately after application. Often called Morocco's liquid gold, Argan Oil has been the gold standard for hair oil treatments for a reason.

Together, the two ingredients repair, revitalise and strengthen the hair with noticeably better results than either would deliver alone.

Instant absorption, zero greasy feel

The thing that separates a genuinely good hair oil from a mediocre one is how it behaves on the hair in the 60 seconds after application. Cheap oils sit on the surface of the hair, weigh it down, and make the hair look greasy for the rest of the day. The Kitoko Oil Treatment uses a blend of cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone alongside the natural oils to deliver an instantly absorbed, weightless finish. The oils penetrate the hair shaft rather than just coating it, and you get the nourishment benefits without any of the heavy feel.

Reduces drying time

This is the feature that surprises people. Applied to damp hair before blow-drying, the oil creates a protective barrier that helps water evaporate faster from the hair shaft. The practical result is genuinely shorter drying time — usually around 30% shorter in real-world use. That means less heat exposure, less thermal damage, and honestly just less time spent blow-drying every morning.

Natural UV filter built in

UV damage is an underrated cause of hair problems — sun exposure dries the hair out, fades colour, and breaks down protein in the hair shaft. The Kitoko Oil Treatment includes a naturally derived UV filter (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate) that gives the hair genuine day-to-day protection when you're outside. Especially useful in summer, on holiday, or for anyone whose hair sees a lot of sunshine.

Safe for colour-treated and chemically processed hair

The formula is specifically designed to be colour-safe, so you can use it on highlighted, balayage, bleached, or heavily colour-treated hair without worrying about fading your tone. It's also brilliant on chemically processed hair (keratin treatments, perms, relaxed hair) where the cuticle has been opened up and needs ongoing nourishment to stay healthy. If you invest in salon colour or chemical services, using a quality oil treatment like this between appointments genuinely extends how long your colour stays looking its best.

How to use it

Apply a small amount (start with one or two pumps — a little goes a long way, especially with the 290ml pump bottle) to the mid-lengths and ends of damp, freshly washed hair before blow-drying. You can also apply it to dry hair as a finishing oil, to tame frizz, add shine, and smooth flyaways. For very dry or damaged hair, apply generously and leave overnight as a deep treatment, then wash out in the morning. The 290ml size lasts for months in regular use and works out significantly better value per use than the smaller 115ml bottle.
