Kao THE ANSWER EX Moist Treatment For Daily Damage

It's designed to pair with THE ANSWER shampoo, but you don't have to. The treatment works on its own for daily damage from friction and UV. Using it with the matching shampoo gives you the full lamellar platform technology experience, but plenty of people use it with other shampoos and still see results.

It's technically a treatment, not a conditioner. The formula uses high concentrations of ceramide α and olive fruit oil in what Kao calls a lamellar structure, which helps repair ingredients penetrate deeper into damaged hair. It's richer than typical conditioners and targets damage from friction and UV specifically.

Apply a moderate amount to mid-lengths and ends. Skip the roots unless your hair is very dry. The texture is quite rich, so a little goes further than you'd expect. If your hair feels greasy after rinsing, you're using too much.
