Revitalize damaged, dry, or chemically treated hair with TSUBAKI's Premium EX Damage Care & Repair Conditioner. This intensive formula, powered by Japanese Camellia Oil, Royal Jelly, and Soy Protein, delivers deep nourishment and repair, leaving hair feeling exceptionally smooth, manageable, and radiantly shiny. It targets the core signs of damage—roughness, breakage, and dullness—for visibly healthier, salon-quality results from the comfort of your home.

Dealing with hair that feels dry, brittle, frizzy, or looks dull after colouring or heat styling can be frustrating. This conditioner is designed to help.

• Who it's for: Ideal for those with dry, damaged, brittle, frizzy, color-treated, or chemically processed hair. Suitable for medium to thick hair textures.
• What it does: Deeply conditions, repairs damage, smooths the hair cuticle, reduces frizz, enhances shine, and improves manageability.
• Key Ingredients: Camellia Japonica Seed Oil (Tsubaki Oil), Royal Jelly Extract, Soybean Seed Extract, Amino Acids, Dimethicone.
• Expected Results: Immediately softer, detangled hair. With regular use, expect visibly reduced frizz, increased shine, improved smoothness, and less breakage.
• Texture & Scent: Rich, creamy texture. Signature Tsubaki floral fragrance.

1. Cleanse: Wash hair thoroughly with your preferred shampoo.
2. Condition: Apply TSUBAKI Premium EX Conditioner (see amount in "How to Use") mainly to mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp.
3. Rinse: Leave on for 1-3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until hair feels smooth but not slippery.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack heavy conditioners).

Incorporate this conditioner into your regular hair washing routine:

1. Shampoo: Cleanse hair and scalp thoroughly. Rinse well.
2. Squeeze Out Excess Water: Gently squeeze water from hair to allow conditioner to penetrate better.
3. Apply Conditioner: Dispense an appropriate amount (see "How to Use") into palms. Apply evenly through mid-lengths and ends of hair. Focus on damaged areas. Avoid direct application to the scalp to prevent oiliness.
4. Wait: Leave the conditioner on for 1-3 minutes to allow ingredients to work. For deeper conditioning, you can leave it for up to 5 minutes.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse hair with lukewarm water until the water runs clear and hair feels smooth. Avoid hot water which can strip moisture and lift the cuticle.
6. Follow Up (Optional): Proceed with any leave-in treatments or styling products as usual.

Frequency: Use after every shampoo, typically 2-4 times per week depending on your hair washing habits.

• Amount:
  • Short Hair: Nickel-size (approx. 1 pump).
  • Medium Hair: Quarter-size (approx. 1-2 pumps).
  • Long/Thick Hair: Palm-full (approx. 2-3 pumps or more as needed). Adjust based on hair density and length.
• Apply to: Mid-lengths and ends of hair. Avoid applying directly to the scalp/roots, especially if you have oily hair, as conditioners can weigh hair down or contribute to buildup.
• Method: Smooth through damp hair after shampooing. Use fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute evenly.
• Wait time: Leave on for 1-3 minutes for daily conditioning, or up to 5 minutes for a deeper treatment effect.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until hair feels soft and detangled, but no longer slippery or coated.
• Frequency: Use after every shampoo wash (e.g., 2-4 times per week).

If-This / Then-That Tips:

• Hair feels heavy/greasy after use? You might be using too much product, applying it too close to the scalp, or not rinsing thoroughly enough. Reduce amount and focus only on ends.
• Very dry or tangled ends? Concentrate application on the last few inches of hair and leave on for the full 5 minutes. Consider following with a leave-in conditioner or hair oil.
• Fine hair feels weighed down? Use a smaller amount (half-pump) and apply only to the very tips. Ensure thorough rinsing. This conditioner might be too rich for very fine hair if used excessively.
• Color-treated hair? This conditioner helps smooth the cuticle, which can help preserve color vibrancy. It's generally considered color-safe, though it doesn't contain specific color-locking technology.

Watchouts: Buildup can occur over time if not rinsed properly, especially with silicone-containing conditioners. Use a clarifying shampoo occasionally (e.g., once every 1-2 weeks) if you notice hair feeling dull or coated.

Safety: Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.

Integrate this conditioner into your typical hair washing schedule. Here's an example for someone washing hair 3 times a week:

• Wash Day 1 (e.g., Monday): Shampoo → TSUBAKI Conditioner (1-3 min) → Rinse → Style.
• Wash Day 2 (e.g., Wednesday): Shampoo → TSUBAKI Conditioner (3-5 min for deeper conditioning) → Rinse → Style.
• Wash Day 3 (e.g., Saturday): Clarifying Shampoo (optional, if needed) → Hair Mask/Treatment (optional) → TSUBAKI Conditioner (1 min, focus on ends) → Rinse → Style.

Key Principles:

• Use after every shampoo.
• Adjust leave-on time based on hair needs (longer for more repair).
• If using a separate deep conditioning mask, you can use this conditioner briefly afterwards to seal the cuticle or skip it that day if the mask is very rich.

Mauritius Note: In high humidity, ensure thorough rinsing to prevent any residue that might feel heavy. The smoothing properties are beneficial for controlling frizz in damp weather.

Safety: Listen to your hair. If it starts feeling overly soft/mushy (moisture overload) or stiff (protein overload, less likely with this conditioner), adjust frequency or alternate with a different type of conditioner (e.g., a protein-focused one if needed).

• Immediately (After 1 Use): Hair feels noticeably softer, smoother, and easier to detangle. Reduced static and immediate frizz control upon drying. Enhanced slip.
• After 2-4 Weeks (Consistent Use 2-3x/week): Increased shine and manageability. Hair feels more hydrated and less brittle. You may notice less frizz throughout the day. Split ends may appear temporarily smoother.
• After 4-8+ Weeks: Cumulative effects become more apparent. Hair looks healthier and more lustrous. Reduced appearance of damage (less roughness, more uniform surface). May experience less breakage during combing or styling due to improved elasticity and smoothness. Colour may appear slightly more vibrant due to the smoothed cuticle reflecting light better.

Note: Results depend on the initial level of damage, hair type, and consistency of use. This conditioner provides cosmetic smoothing and repair; it cannot permanently mend split ends (only trimming can). Continued use is needed to maintain benefits.

• Myth: "Silicones are bad for hair and just coat it." Reality: Silicones in conditioners like this one (e.g., Dimethicone) form a lightweight, protective film that smooths the hair cuticle, reduces friction (less breakage), adds significant shine, controls frizz, and can offer heat protection. While some silicones can build up on certain hair types if not clarified, modern formulations often use water-soluble or easily removable silicones. They provide immediate cosmetic benefits and protection that many natural oils alone cannot fully replicate. This conditioner uses silicones strategically for their smoothing and damage-masking properties. Use a clarifying shampoo periodically if you're concerned about buildup.
• Myth: "You only need conditioner if your hair is tangled." Reality: Conditioner does more than detangle. It helps to replenish moisture and lipids stripped during shampooing, smooths the hair cuticle (which gets roughed up by washing and environmental factors), reduces static, and protects the hair shaft from further damage. Even healthy hair benefits from conditioning to maintain its integrity, shine, and manageability. This TSUBAKI conditioner focuses on repairing existing damage and preventing future issues.
• Myth: "Natural oils (like coconut oil) are better conditioners." Reality: While natural oils are excellent emollients and can penetrate the hair shaft to moisturize (coconut oil is particularly good at this), they often lack the sophisticated cuticle-smoothing, frizz-controlling, and protective film-forming properties of a well-formulated conditioner containing ingredients like silicones, cationic surfactants, and hydrolyzed proteins. Oils can sometimes leave hair feeling heavy or greasy and don't provide the same level of detangling 'slip'. This conditioner combines natural oils (Camellia Oil) with scientifically optimized ingredients for a balanced approach to moisture, repair, and cosmetic elegance.

• Works Well With:
  • Most Shampoos: Compatible with standard shampoos, including sulfate-free options. Pairs best with shampoos designed for damaged or dry hair, like the matching TSUBAKI Premium EX Shampoo (if available).
  • Hair Masks & Treatments: Can be used after rinsing out a deep conditioning mask or protein treatment to seal the cuticle and add extra softness.
  • Leave-In Conditioners & Serums: Complements leave-in products by providing the initial rinse-out conditioning base.
  • Hair Oils: Can be followed by a hair oil applied to damp or dry ends for extra sealing and shine.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Clarifying Shampoos: While compatible, using this rich conditioner immediately after a harsh clarifying shampoo might slightly counteract the deep clean feel. Ensure thorough rinsing. It's often better to follow clarifying with a lighter conditioner or a dedicated mask.
  • Protein-Heavy Routines: If your hair is sensitive to protein overload (feeling stiff or brittle), monitor how it feels when using this conditioner alongside multiple other protein-rich products (shampoo, mask, leave-in). This conditioner contains soy protein, but likely not in overload amounts.
• Avoid On:
  • Scalp (Directly): Avoid applying conditioner directly to the scalp, especially if prone to oiliness or buildup, as it can weigh hair down at the roots. Focus on mid-lengths and ends.
  • Eyes: Avoid contact with eyes during application and rinsing.

• Best For:
  • Dry Hair: Provides essential moisture and lipids.
  • Damaged Hair: Helps smooth rough cuticles, reduce breakage, and improve appearance.
  • Chemically Treated Hair (Colored, Permed, Relaxed): Replenishes moisture and smooths damage from chemical processes.
  • Frizzy Hair: Silicones and oils help tame frizz and flyaways, especially beneficial in humid Mauritius.
  • Thick or Coarse Hair: Rich texture provides ample conditioning and slip for detangling.
• Can Work For (Use Sparingly):
  • Normal Hair: Can be used for maintenance, focusing on ends, maybe less frequently or smaller amounts.
  • Wavy/Curly Hair (CG Method Cautious): Contains silicones (Dimethicone, Amodimethicone) which are generally avoided in strict Curly Girl Method routines unless clarifying regularly. However, many wavy/curly individuals find silicones necessary for frizz control and shine, especially in humidity. Assess based on personal preference and routine.
• Use with Caution / May Not Be Ideal For:
  • Very Fine Hair: The rich formula might weigh down fine strands if too much is used or not rinsed thoroughly. Use a minimal amount, concentrating on the very ends.
  • Oily Hair/Scalp: Excellent for dry ends, but keep application strictly away from the scalp to avoid exacerbating oiliness. Ensure thorough rinsing.

Note: Individual results vary. Assess based on your hair's specific needs and porosity.

This conditioner is formulated to primarily address:

• Hair Damage: Targets roughness, brittleness, and lack of shine caused by heat styling, chemical treatments, or environmental factors by smoothing the cuticle and replenishing lipids.
• Dryness & Dehydration: Provides moisture and emollients (like Camellia Oil) to combat dryness and improve hair's hydration levels.
• Frizz & Flyaways: Silicones create a smooth film that seals the cuticle, reducing frizz and making hair appear sleeker, particularly helpful in Mauritius' humidity.
• Lack of Shine & Luster: By smoothing the hair cuticle, it enhances light reflection, resulting in shinier, healthier-looking hair.
• Tangles & Poor Manageability: Improves slip and reduces friction between hair strands, making combing and styling easier and reducing breakage from detangling.
• Breakage: By improving moisture, elasticity (soy protein), and reducing friction, it can help minimize breakage during daily handling.

• Other Potential Irritants: Contains Salicylic Acid (very low concentration, likely for preservation/scalp health, generally non-irritating in rinse-off). Conditioning agents (Behentrimonium Chloride) can be irritating to very sensitive skin if not rinsed thoroughly.

*EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI; patch test advised.

• Who Should Use: Individuals with dry, damaged, frizzy, or color-treated hair seeking intensive conditioning.
• Who Should Use with Caution:
  • Individuals with very fine hair (use sparingly on ends only).
  • Those with very oily scalps (keep strictly off the roots).
  • People with known allergies to floral fragrances or specific ingredients listed (check INCI).
• Patch Testing (Recommended for Scalp Sensitivity): While generally safe, if you have a very sensitive scalp or skin conditions like eczema/psoriasis affecting the scalp/neck area, apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner elbow. Leave for a few minutes, then rinse. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any redness, itching, or irritation before applying fully to hair (especially near scalp).
• General Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if significant scalp irritation or rash develops. Keep out of reach of children.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as it's a rinse-off cosmetic product with low systemic absorption. Contains salicylic acid at very low levels (likely safe). Consult your doctor if you have specific concerns.
• Kids/Teens: Suitable for teenagers dealing with dry or damaged hair. Not typically necessary for young children's hair unless specifically recommended.

• Texture: Rich, thick, creamy. Spreads easily through wet hair.
• Feel During Use: Provides immediate slip and smoothing, making detangling easy. Feels luxurious and conditioning.
• Feel After Rinsing: Hair feels soft, smooth, and coated but should rinse clean without heavy residue if rinsed properly.
• Finish on Hair (Dry): Leaves hair looking shiny, feeling soft and smooth, with reduced frizz.
• Scent: Distinctive Tsubaki floral fragrance; lingers lightly on hair after drying.
• pH: Likely acidic (estimated pH 4.0-5.5) to help smooth and close the hair cuticle after shampooing (which is typically more alkaline). (pH not officially published by brand).
• Key Formulation Aspects: Silicone-based (Dimethicone, Amodimethicone) for smoothing and slip. Contains cationic surfactants (Behentrimonium Chloride, Laurtrimonium Chloride) for conditioning. Features botanical extracts (Camellia Oil, Royal Jelly, Soy) for nourishment and repair.
• Comedogenicity/Scalp Considerations: Contains ingredients (like Dimethicone) that could potentially contribute to scalp buildup or follicle clogging if applied directly and frequently to the scalp without proper cleansing. Best kept to mid-lengths and ends. (Individual responses vary).

• Issue: Hair feels heavy, weighed down, or greasy after use. Solution: You might be using too much product, applying it too close to the scalp, or not rinsing thoroughly. Try using less (start with one pump), focus application only from mid-lengths to ends, and rinse for an extra 30 seconds with lukewarm water.
• Issue: Scalp feels itchy or gets oily quickly after use. Solution: Ensure you are not applying conditioner directly to the scalp. Rinse hair very thoroughly, making sure no residue remains near the roots. If itchiness persists, you might be sensitive to the fragrance or another ingredient; consider patch testing or switching to a fragrance-free option.
• Issue: Hair still feels dry or frizzy. Solution: Ensure you're leaving the conditioner on for at least 1-3 minutes. Squeeze out excess water before applying so it's not diluted. For very dry/damaged hair, this conditioner might need to be supplemented with a weekly deep conditioning mask or a leave-in treatment/oil applied to damp hair after conditioning.
• Issue: Not seeing significant repair results after several weeks. Solution: Cosmetic conditioners primarily improve the look and feel of hair and prevent further damage. Deep structural damage (like severe chemical breakage) may require protein treatments or, ultimately, trimming. Ensure you're using the conditioner consistently and protecting hair from heat/further chemical processes. Consider adding a dedicated hair mask or treatment from the TSUBAKI line or another repair-focused brand (like CP-1) once a week.

• Humidity: Excellent fit. The silicones and smoothing ingredients help combat frizz caused by high humidity, sealing the hair cuticle to resist moisture absorption from the air. Hair should remain smoother and more manageable.
• Heat: Provides moisture to counteract dryness from sun exposure. If using heat styling tools, the silicones offer some thermal protection, though a dedicated heat protectant spray is still recommended for high heat.
• Sun/UV: While not an SPF product for hair, conditioning helps keep hair healthy, making it potentially less prone to UV damage (dry, brittle hair is more susceptible). Using alongside UV-protective hair mists or hats is advised for prolonged sun exposure.
• Usage Tips for Mauritius:
  • Rinse Thoroughly: In humid weather, any residue can feel heavier. Ensure you rinse completely.
  • Focus on Ends: Given the warmth, scalp oils may be more fluid. Keep conditioner focused on mid-lengths and ends to avoid weighing down roots.
  • Frizz Control: This conditioner is a good base for frizz control. Follow with a lightweight anti-frizz serum or oil if needed for extra humidity defense.

• Our Sourcing Guarantee: Adilsons sources TSUBAKI products directly from authorized distributors in Asia. We guarantee 100% authenticity.
• Packaging Cues: Authentic TSUBAKI products feature high-quality packaging with clear printing in Japanese (and often English/other languages for export versions). Look for precise molding, functional pumps, and batch codes typically printed on the bottom.

However, consider these alternatives available from Adilsons if:

• You need intensive protein repair: CP-1 BRIGHT COMPLEX INTENSE NOURISHING CONDITIONER (PROTEIN CONDITIONER) 500ML — Choose this if your hair feels very weak, mushy when wet, or needs significant strengthening. Why: Higher focus on protein complexes and ceramides for structural repair.
• You prefer a focus on scalp health alongside conditioning: CP-1 GINGER PURIFYING CONDITIONER 500ML — Choose this if you experience scalp buildup or prefer invigorating ingredients. Why: Contains ginger extract aimed at scalp purification while still conditioning lengths.
• You need a lighter option or follow strict CGM: No direct silicone-free conditioner alternative currently listed in stock. Fallback: Consider using a lighter amount of the TSUBAKI conditioner focused only on ends, or explore conditioner bars/DIY options if strictly avoiding silicones.

Mindful-use: If you already have a comparable conditioner at home that addresses your hair needs, finish it first to avoid waste and get a fair read on results before switching.

• Packaging: 450ml plastic bottle with a pump dispenser for convenient use in the shower.
• Sustainability: Shiseido (parent company) has corporate sustainability goals regarding plastic reduction and responsible sourcing. Specific details for TSUBAKI packaging recyclability in Mauritius depend on local facilities; check the plastic type code (likely PET or PP). Consider purchasing refill packs if available to reduce plastic waste.
• Storage: Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat/cold, to maintain formula stability. Keep pump locked when not in use.
• Travel: The 450ml bottle is not travel-friendly. Decant into smaller containers for trips.

TSUBAKI is a premium Japanese haircare brand by Shiseido, launched in 2006. Its philosophy centers around leveraging the power of Japanese Camellia Oil (Tsubaki Oil), treasured for centuries in Japan for its ability to deeply moisturize and add lustrous shine to hair. TSUBAKI combines this traditional ingredient with Shiseido's advanced hair science research to create salon-quality products that address modern hair concerns like damage, dryness, and frizz, aiming to unlock hair's natural beauty and health from the core.

• Camellia Japonica Seed Oil (Tsubaki Oil): A nourishing oil rich in fatty acids, extracted from the seeds of the Japanese Camellia flower, known for moisturizing and adding shine to hair.
• Royal Jelly Extract: A nutrient-rich substance produced by bees, containing proteins and vitamins, believed to nourish and strengthen hair.
• Hydrolyzed Soy Protein: Soy protein broken down into smaller fragments that can penetrate the hair shaft to help repair damage and improve elasticity.
• Silicones (Dimethicone, Amodimethicone): Polymers used in haircare to coat the hair shaft, providing smoothness, shine, detangling, and frizz control.
• Cuticle (Hair): The outermost protective layer of the hair strand, composed of overlapping scales. Smooth cuticles reflect light (shine) and resist frizz.
• Cationic Surfactants: Positively charged conditioning agents that adhere to negatively charged damaged areas of hair, reducing static and smoothing the surface.
• PAO (Period After Opening): Symbol on packaging (e.g., "12M") indicating how many months the product is safe and effective to use after opening.

At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you authentic, high-quality K-Beauty and J-Beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and innovation. We guarantee that all our products, including this TSUBAKI conditioner, are 100% genuine, sourced directly from official or authorized distributors. Your hair's health and your satisfaction are our priorities.

Is this conditioner suitable for daily use?

Yes, it's designed for regular use after each shampoo wash.

Does it contain sulfates?

Conditioners generally do not contain harsh sulfates (like SLS/SLES) as those are cleansing agents found in shampoos. Based on the representative INCI list, this product appears sulfate-free, using gentle conditioning agents instead.

Is it safe for color-treated hair?

Yes, it's generally considered safe and beneficial for color-treated hair as it helps smooth the cuticle and replenish moisture lost during coloring processes. However, it's not specifically marketed as a "color-locking" product.

Can I use this if I follow the Curly Girl Method (CGM)?

This conditioner contains silicones (Dimethicone, Amodimethicone), which are typically avoided in strict CGM routines. If you follow modified CGM or find silicones beneficial for your curls (especially in humidity), you can use it, but ensure you clarify occasionally to prevent potential buildup.

What's the difference between this and the regular TSUBAKI conditioners?

The "Premium EX" line usually signifies a more intensive repair formula with potentially higher concentrations of repair ingredients or advanced technology compared to TSUBAKI's standard lines (like Premium Moist & Repair).

Best For: Those with dry, damaged, frizzy, or chemically treated hair seeking intensive moisture, repair, smoothness, and shine.

Key Benefits:

• Deeply conditions and detangles effectively.
• Smooths hair cuticle, reduces frizz, and enhances shine significantly.
• Helps repair the appearance of damage and improves manageability.
• Luxurious texture and pleasant floral fragrance.

Keep in Mind:

• Contains silicones (may not suit strict CGM followers).
• Can be too heavy for very fine hair if not used sparingly.
• Contains added fragrance, which could be a concern for highly sensitive individuals.

Overall: A high-performance conditioner delivering noticeable results for damaged and dry hair, embodying TSUBAKI's blend of traditional ingredients and modern hair science for a salon-like finish.
