How to Choose the Right Hair Care for Your Hair Type
Walk into any pharmacy or beauty store and you'll find dozens of products all claiming to repair, strengthen, and restore your hair. It's overwhelming — and most people end up buying something that doesn't quite fit what their hair actually needs.
This guide walks through every product in the KAMI Lab range, explains what it does, and helps you figure out which ones belong in your routine.
Start here: what's your main concern?
Hair care isn't one-size-fits-all. The right product depends on what your hair has been through and what you're trying to fix. Here are the five most common situations — and where to start for each.
"I colour my hair regularly and want the colour to last longer"
Start with: GRAN Color Revive
Most people don't realise that colour damage doesn't stop when you leave the salon. Residual alkaline chemicals and hydrogen peroxide stay in the hair for days or weeks after a service — and they keep breaking down the hair structure and fading your colour the whole time.
GRAN Color Revive is a pre-shampoo treatment that targets this problem directly. Its key ingredients — hematite, catalase, and sodium acetate — work to neutralise and remove those residual chemicals before they can cause further damage.
How to use it: Before shampooing, apply 5–8 pumps of foam directly to the scalp and roots. Don't rinse it out — apply your shampoo straight on top, lather as normal, then rinse everything together. Follow with your usual conditioner.
Most clients notice their colour lasting noticeably longer within 2–4 weeks of daily use.
"My hair is bleached or highlighted and always feels dry and fragile"
Start with: METEO Connector + LUCA Shampoo & Treatment
Bleached and highlighted hair has a very specific problem: the internal keratin structure has been chemically broken down, and surface-level conditioners can't rebuild it. They can make hair feel smoother temporarily, but the underlying fragility remains.
METEO Connector is an activated keratin treatment that works by replenishing keratin directly inside the hair shaft. Unlike a standard conditioner, it doesn't coat — it repairs.
Use it 2–3 times per week after shampooing. Apply 2–3 pumps to mid-lengths and ends, leave it in without rinsing, then layer your conditioner on top. Rinse together after a few minutes. Finish with a blow-dry to activate the keratin bonding.
LUCA Shampoo and Treatment forms the daily foundation of this routine. LUCA uses a premium amino acid cleansing base — gentle enough for damaged hair, but effective at keeping the scalp healthy. The treatment adds strength and elasticity without weighing fine or bleached hair down.
"I want to strengthen my hair every day without changing my routine"
Start with: Inform 5.5
If you want one product that quietly improves your hair's condition day by day, Inform 5.5 is the most frictionless option in the range.
You don't need to change your shampoo or add an extra step. Just add 3–5 pumps of Inform 5.5 to whatever shampoo you're already using, mix in your palm, and wash as normal.
The two active technologies — liquefied sulphur and a patented molecular subdivision system — work together to replenish the sulphur bonds that give hair its strength. The effect is cumulative: most people notice a clear improvement in texture and resilience after 2–4 weeks of consistent use.
It also adjusts the pH of your wash to 5.5, which neutralises alkaline residue from colour services — similar to GRAN Color Revive, but built into your shampoo step.
Inform 5.5 works with any shampoo brand. And because it targets the internal structure rather than the surface, its effects don't wash off.
"My hair is fine, aging, or losing volume — and it feels different than it used to"
Start with: LUCA Shampoo & Treatment
Hair changes with age. It becomes finer, loses elasticity, and can start to feel limp or difficult to manage. Scalp health also becomes more important — hair growth and texture are directly linked to scalp condition.
LUCA Shampoo was developed specifically for this. Its amino acid formula — built around Taurine and Alanine — cleanses the scalp effectively without stripping it. Stem cell exosomes and caffeine support scalp microcirculation, and a Phytokeraster complex adds body and elasticity to fine strands.
LUCA also contains Lactone Fragrance Technology — a niche ingredient that replaces the naturally sweet hair fragrance that diminishes with age. It's a small thing, but clients consistently mention it.
The LUCA Treatment continues the same philosophy: reinforcing structure and moisture without heavy residue. If you find most conditioners leave your hair flat, LUCA is worth trying.
"I use heat tools daily and want to protect my hair and get a better finish"
Start with: NOAH Hair Oil
Heat styling — blow-drying, straightening, curling — causes cumulative damage over time. The cuticle opens and closes with each heat exposure, and over months and years, it starts to stay open. The result: frizz, dullness, and hair that feels stiff or rough after styling.
NOAH Hair Oil is a leave-in emulsion (not a heavy oil) that applies to towel-dried hair before blow-drying. Its key ingredients — Levulinic Acid and Pea Protein — work with heat to tighten the cuticle and bond to damaged areas, creating a protective layer that actually strengthens as you dry.
The result is hair that's noticeably softer, shinier, and more manageable after styling. It can also be used as a finishing product on dry hair — a small amount applied to the ends adds gloss and tames flyaways without greasiness.
NOAH is also colour-safe: the Levulinic Acid concentration is calibrated so that even bleached hair can use it daily without accelerating fade.
Building a complete routine
These products are designed to work together. Here's how a full KAMI Lab routine looks in practice:
Before shampoo:
GRAN Color Revive → applied to scalp and roots, then shampoo on top
Shampoo step:
LUCA Shampoo (with Inform 5.5 mixed in)
In-shower treatment (2-3× per week):
METEO Connector → applied without rinsing, then LUCA Treatment on top → rinse together
After towel-drying:
NOAH Hair Oil → applied before blow-drying
You don't need every product from day one. Start with the one that addresses your biggest concern, use it consistently for a month, then add the next layer.
Quick reference
| Main concern | Start with |
| Colour fading / residual damage | GRAN Color Revive |
| Bleached / highlighted / fragile | METEO Connector + LUCA |
| Daily strengthening without changing routine | Inform 5.5 |
| Fine, aging, or low-volume hair | LUCA Shampoo & Treatment |
| Heat protection and finishing | NOAH Hair Oil |
If you're not sure where to start, Inform 5.5 is the most versatile entry point — it works for every hair type and integrates into any existing routine.
