This 1 litre shampoo and conditioner regime is designed specifically for fragile, damaged or chemically treated hair, built around Avocado Oil and Orchid Oil to rebuild strength, restore moisture, and give your hair back its condition. The full Kitoko Repairing regime in professional salon size, working as a system to repair from the inside out. From the A.S.P Kitoko range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy damaged hair needs a repairing shampoo specifically\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamaged hair isn't the same problem as dry hair, and it doesn't respond to the same solutions. When hair is chemically processed — bleached, coloured, permed, relaxed, or chemically straightened — the cuticle lifts and the internal structure of the hair shaft weakens. The result is hair that feels rough, looks dull, tangles easily, breaks when you brush it, and develops split ends much faster than healthy hair would. A regular moisturising shampoo will make it feel softer temporarily, but it won't address the underlying structural damage. A properly formulated repairing shampoo actively works to seal the cuticle back down, rebuild the hair's natural defences, and protect against further breakage. That's exactly what the Kitoko Repairing regime is designed to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAvocado Oil: rebuilding strength\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvocado Oil is one of the most nutrient-dense natural oils in haircare, and it's the strength-building workhorse in this formula. It's properly packed with Vitamins A, D and E, essential fatty acids (oleic and linoleic), and powerful antioxidants. The combination deeply penetrates the hair shaft, helps seal the raised cuticle back down, and strengthens the hair from within. Regular use of Avocado Oil on damaged hair genuinely reduces breakage, protects against split ends, and restores the hair's natural elasticity — the property that lets it stretch and bounce back rather than snapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrchid Oil: moisture-locking softness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrchid Oil is the perfect partner to Avocado here. Where Avocado strengthens, Orchid moisturises. It's packed with moisture-locking glycerides that deeply hydrate the hair shaft and seal hydration in, leaving damaged hair feeling silky, soft and manageable rather than rough and dry. Orchid Oil also has a natural ability to smooth the cuticle, which adds shine and reduces frizz — two things that damaged hair tends to lose. Together, the Avocado and Orchid blend addresses both sides of the damage equation: rebuild the structure, restore the moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSulphate-free cleansing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shampoo uses gentle modern surfactants (Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine) rather than harsh sulphates. That's not a marketing detail — it's genuinely critical for damaged hair. Sulphate shampoos can strip moisture and accelerate colour fade, which is the last thing chemically treated hair needs. Shea Butter, Baobab Fruit Extract, Green Tea and Vitamin E round out the formula, adding further nourishment and antioxidant protection to counter the oxidative damage that chemical treatments cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe conditioner: sealing everything in\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matching conditioner contains the same Avocado and Orchid actives and adds modern plant-derived conditioning agents (Brassicyl Valinate Esylate and Brassica Alcohol) to deeply nourish, detangle, and seal the cuticle. Damaged hair tangles badly, and every tangle that's pulled through results in more breakage. A proper conditioner doesn't just soften — it gives you the slip you need to detangle without damage, which is genuinely half the battle with fragile hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKitoko Repairing vs bond-building treatments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth mentioning because it's a common question. Bond-building treatments (Olaplex, K18) work on a different principle — they use patented technology to reconnect the broken disulphide bonds deep inside the hair shaft. The Kitoko Repairing regime uses natural botanical oils to nourish, strengthen and protect the hair. The two approaches complement each other beautifully rather than competing. Many stylists use a bond-building treatment periodically for deep structural repair, and a botanical repairing shampoo and conditioner like Kitoko as the daily regime. If you're already using Olaplex or K18, Kitoko Repairing is a brilliant everyday companion to those treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBleached or highlighted hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavily colour-treated hair showing signs of damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePermed or chemically straightened hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHair damaged by heat styling (straighteners, curling tongs, daily blow-drying)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrittle hair that breaks easily when brushed or styled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHair with visible split ends or rough texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFragile fine hair that's lost its resilience\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHair that's gone porous and absorbs water but doesn't hold condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply the shampoo to wet hair, massage gently into the scalp, lather through the lengths and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if needed. Follow with the conditioner, working it through the mid-lengths and ends, leave for 2-3 minutes to let the actives penetrate properly, then rinse. Use as your daily regime for consistent repair — results build over weeks of consistent use rather than appearing overnight. For severely damaged hair, add a weekly deep conditioning treatment or bond-building mask for even stronger results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 litre shampoo + 1 litre conditioner professional repairing duo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvocado Oil for deep strengthening and cuticle sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrchid Oil for intense moisture and silky softness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSulphate-free shampoo with gentle modern surfactants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShea Butter, Baobab and Vitamin E for nourishment and antioxidant protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModern plant-derived conditioning agents for proper detangling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrengthens fragile hair and reduces breakage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeals split ends and smooths the cuticle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColour-safe and suitable for chemically treated hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for bleached, highlighted, permed and heat-damaged hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplements bond-building treatments like Olaplex and K18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBetter value than buying shampoo and conditioner separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shampoo\"\u003eprofessional shampoo collection\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hair-conditioner\"\u003ehair conditioner range\u003c\/a\u003e for more options across different hair types and concerns.
