who should use the kure?

The kure collection is perfect for anyone with colour-treated or chemically damaged hair, or anyone looking to rescue their strands from the everyday battles of pollution, heaand environmental damage. Packed with bond cure technology, vegan protein, and plant butters, the kure collection is clinically proven to repair damaged hair and strengthen those strands.

why does bleaching your hair damage it?

Don’t get us wrong, we love cool tones but it’s no secret that chemically lightening strands can lead to bleach-damaged hair. Did you know that bleach strips the pigment of your hair through oxidisation? It raises the outer cuticle of your strands to really let the bleaching agent penetrate the hair. That’s why repeated bleaching can lead to a permanently raised cuticle, making it tough for the hair to retain moisture.

what is bond cure technology?

Not only does bleaching mess with your cuticles, but it can also damage the bonds in your hair.

Hair is made up of three types of bonds: hydrogen, disulfide and salt bonds. Bleaching and chemical damage can weaken these bonds and cause them to break, leaving hair brittle and prone to breakage. This is where we come in. amika’s kure collection targets the hair’s most abundant bonds and works to repair and strengthen them, nourishing the hair and preventing breakage.
