key benefits

This silicone-free oil fights frizz differently by addressing the damage that causes frizz long-term and immediately smoothing frizz + flyaways.

  • Reverses frizz-causing damage: Works at the molecular level to repair damaged hair, which is more susceptible to frizz
  • Reduces frizz + flyaways: Natural oils work on the surface of the hair to smooth the cuticle + soften without weighing hair down
  • Enhances shine + color vibrancy: Nourished, moisturized hair reflects higher shine and boosts color dimension
  • Delivers heat protection: to prevent further frizz-causing damage up to 450°F (232°C)

how to use

Apply to damp, towel-dried hair before styling, or on dry hair as a finisher. Highly concentrated formula. Start with 1-3 drops and build as needed.

Use on damp hair for: strengthening benefits and to reduce frizz during air-dry or styling

Use on dry hair to: smooth frizz and flyaways, as a finisher to add shine

  • Apply to damp hair from mid-lengths to ends. For strengthening benefits from the K18PEPTIDE™ wait 4 minutes before styling.

got questions?

Get started here.

Can i use the molecular repair hair oil instead of the mask?

We recommend using the oil with the mask for maximum molecular repair with additional styling benefits. Think of the mask as a damage repair treatment after washing your hair. The oil is for smoothing, styling and strengthening after the mask, and can be used on damp and dry hair.

Does the molecular repair hair oil provide heat protection?

Yes, this oil provides heat protection up to 450°F/232°C.

Will the molecular repair hair oil leave buildup or weigh down my hair?

No, it will not leave buildup or weigh down your hair. This weightless oil is powered by intentional ingredients to reduce frizz-causing damage on the molecular level inside the hair fiber, while natural oils work on the surface of hair without weighing it down.

Plus, you don’t need much of this highly concentrated formula to see results, just use 1-3 drops and build as needed. If you’re concerned about buildup, use our detox shampoo to remove 99% of product buildup after just 1 wash*.
*Disclaimers

Will the mask block the molecular repair hair oil from penetrating?

No, the mask will not block the molecular repair hair oil from penetrating. The mask is a highly concentrated treatment without any fillers so it won’t block the oil from penetrating. Like layering different skincare products, the oil can be layered on top of the mask without impacting its performance.

Can I mix the oil and mask together?

Instead of mixing the oil and mask together, get the most effective repair and styling benefits by using the mask first, waiting 4 minutes, and then applying the oil.

Changed my life (not even being dramatic)

I got this after loving the hair mask, I have curly hair but it’s been damaged by heat for so many years (especially as a teen) and i could never imagine wearing my hair natural because it just looked bad like frizzy, curls were not good. I’ve tried so many shampoos and creams for curly hair but this oil takes the frizz to zero and my curls look decent - I don’t know what it did compared to others on the market but i can finally feel comfortable enough to wear my natural hair. AND IT MAKES IT SO SOFT!
