Hair That Feels Silky, Not Sticky

Users say it 'sinks in without any greasy residue,' leaving hair touchably soft and weightless, not weighed down.

Tames Frizz and Flyaways for Good

'My hair finally listens to me' is a common review. The formula smooths the hair cuticle to lock out humidity and control unruly strands all day.

Repairs the Look of Damage from Styling

Visibly improves the appearance of split ends and dryness caused by daily heat tools, making hair look healthier and more polished.

Adds a Healthy, Natural Shine

Delivers a 'beautiful, glass-like shine' that comes from within, not a surface coating, so hair reflects light and looks vibrant.

Makes Detangling Effortless

'Comb glides right through' even after washing. Deep hydration reduces friction and breakage, making morning routines faster and gentler on hair.

Protects Your Color Longer

Helps seal the hair cuticle to lock in color pigments, so your salon color stays vibrant and fades more slowly between appointments.

Saves Time on Bad Hair Days

When hair is hydrated and manageable, it styles faster and holds style better. Users report 'less fussing' to get ready.

Builds Hair Resilience Over Time

With consistent use, hair becomes better at holding onto its own moisture, so it stays soft and smooth for longer between treatments.

Born from a collaboration between Kose's 130-year legacy of Japanese skincare science and the acclaimed stylist Stephen Knoll, this hair pack was created to solve the modern hair dilemma: daily styling and environmental stress that strip away natural moisture, leaving hair looking dull and feeling rough. The formula focuses on deep, lasting hydration, using a patented ceramide complex and botanical oils selected for their proven ability to repair the hair's moisture barrier. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to strict pharmaceutical-grade standards. It has quickly become a top-ranked hair treatment in its category, trusted by users for its salon-quality results without the salon visit.

The Kose Stephen Knoll Moisture & Control Hair Pack - Deep Hydration Trial is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to provide intensive hydration and manageability. It contains hydrolyzed keratin, which penetrates the hair shaft to repair damage and strengthen hair fibers, reducing breakage and improving elasticity. Panthenol (provitamin B5) acts as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture to enhance hair softness and shine while soothing the scalp. Silicone derivatives, such as dimethicone, form a protective coating on the hair cuticle to smooth frizz, add slip for easier detangling, and provide long-lasting control and shine. Natural extracts like aloe vera and chamomile offer soothing and antioxidant properties, calming the scalp and adding mild conditioning benefits. These ingredients work synergistically to deeply hydrate dry or damaged hair, restore manageability, reduce frizz, and leave hair looking healthy and vibrant with enhanced texture and shine.
