For thousands of years, African healers have employed the nourishing and medicinal qualities of Karité to treat hair and skin. The oil, extracted from the nut of the Shea Tree, has been carefully blended with that of the North African Argan tree to create Kitoko Oil Treatment, the ultimate in hair repair and rejuvenation from Affinage Salon Professional. Essential fatty acids, vitamins A and E and UV filters round out the ingredient list.
“Kitoko really is the next generation oil treatment,” explained Michael Elving, national artistic education manager for the company. “It is richer in antioxidants, Omega oils and Vitamins A and E than other oils available. It doesn’t add weight and there’s no greasy residue on your hands or in your hair after you use it. It’s perfectly balanced to the hair and scalp so it absorbs into and penetrates strands quickly.”
Inspired by nature, Kitoko Oil Treatment combines the healing and therapeutic properties of Karité and Argan oils to revitalize, strengthen and condition the hair, leaving it smooth and radiant. It provides intense nourishment and its lightweight formula is perfect for all hair types as it helps restore shine and moisture balance. It helps tame frizzy and uncontrollable hair, alleviates scalp dryness, improves hair’s elasticity and offers instant absorption with a non-greasy feel and no buildup. A few drops help reduce dry time and replenish brittle hair and ends. The color-safe formula contains naturally derived UV filters to help protect hair from environmental damage.
To use, simply massage a few drops of oil into palms and apply evenly to damp or dry hair. Comb through from roots to ends to ensure even distribution. Do not rinse off. Style as usual. Kitoko Oil Treatment is available in a 3.2 fl oz size for the salon price of $13.35.
