Hair That Feels Like a Salon Treatment, Every Day

Users say their hair feels 'professionally smoothed' and 'incredibly soft' after just one use, without the need for a weekly salon visit.

Tames Frizz Without Weighing Hair Down

Reviewers note it 'controls frizz in humidity' but leaves hair 'light and bouncy, not flat or greasy' like some smoothing products.

Makes Styling Faster and Easier

Because hair is smoother from the start, it 'dries straighter' and 'takes less time to flat iron,' cutting down your morning routine.

Reduces Breakage When Combing

The slip from the conditioner means 'fewer tangles' and 'less hair pulled out' when brushing, helping protect your length.

Shine That Looks and Feels Healthy

It delivers a 'natural, glossy shine' that users describe as 'healthy-looking, not oily,' making hair appear more vibrant.

Long-Lasting Smoothness Between Washes

The smoothing effect holds, so hair 'stays straight and sleek even on day 2 or 3,' maintaining a polished look.

Gentle Enough for Frequent Use

The sulfate-free, pH-balanced formula cleanses effectively without that 'stripped, squeaky-clean feeling' that can lead to dryness.

A Sensory Experience That Feels Luxurious

The lather is 'rich and creamy' and the scent is a 'fresh, clean perfume' that makes the routine feel like a pampering ritual.

1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm water. 2. Apply a coin-sized amount of the Pure Retouch Shampoo. Massage into scalp and work through to ends for 1-2 minutes. Rinse completely. 3. Apply the Pure Retouch Conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. Avoid the scalp. Leave on for 2-3 minutes as recommended by users for best absorption, then rinse thoroughly. 4. For optimal results, follow with a cool water rinse to help seal the cuticle. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Hair feels noticeably cleaner, lighter, and easier to comb through after the first wash. Week 2-3: With consistent use, frizz and roughness start to visibly calm. Hair feels silkier to the touch and shows more natural shine. Week 4+: Hair manages heat and humidity better. The silky-straight effect becomes more consistent, making daily styling faster and easier.

In Japan, where haircare is a science, Kose Cosmetics developed Bioliss Pure Retouch to solve a modern problem: hair that feels rough and frizzy from daily stress, hard water, and styling. Their labs focused on one goal—creating a salon-like smoothness you can maintain at home. The formula centers on Pure Retouch Technology, a patented smoothing complex designed to work with your hair's natural structure, not against it. Every batch is made in Japan under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, ensuring the same quality you'd find in a Tokyo salon. This commitment to precision is why the Bioliss line consistently ranks as a top choice for straight, smooth hair in Japan, trusted by users who value visible results without compromise.

The Kose Bioliss Pure Retouch Silky Straight Shampoo & Conditioner Trial Set contains a carefully formulated blend of ingredients designed to deliver straight, smooth, and manageable hair. Key components include water and sodium laureth sulfate as cleansing agents that gently remove impurities without stripping natural oils. Silicone derivatives like dimethicone and amodimethicone are incorporated to coat the hair shaft, providing instant slip, reducing friction, and enhancing shine while protecting against heat styling damage. Botanical extracts such as chamomile and aloe vera offer soothing and moisturizing properties, helping to maintain scalp health and add softness. Conditioning agents like behentrimonium chloride and cetrimonium chloride work to detangle, improve manageability, and reduce static by neutralizing negative charges on the hair surface. Additionally, hydrolyzed silk protein is included to strengthen hair fibers, increase elasticity, and impart a silky texture. Preservatives like methylparaben ensure product stability, while fragrance provides a pleasant sensory experience. Together, these ingredients aim to straighten hair effectively, minimize frizz, boost luminosity, and improve overall hair health with regular use.
