THE ANSWER EX Care & Coat Hair Oil 80ml — luxurious leave-in treatment oil for deep shine, frizz control, and lamellar repair.
About this product
THE ANSWER EX Care & Coat Hair Oil is the richer, more intensely finishing counterpart to the Water Serum in KAO's THE ANSWER EX styling-treatment system. Formulated with a blend of premium lightweight oils and KAO's signature lamellar liquid crystal complex, this 80ml treatment oil delivers deep, glossy shine and intense frizz-suppression while simultaneously depositing structural repair agents into the hair shaft. The oil formula is particularly effective as a post-blow-dry finishing step or as an overnight intensive treatment, and the compact 80ml size slots neatly into a bathroom cabinet or travel bag. The bergamot and daphne scent adds a sophisticated finishing fragrance note that sets the completion of a premium hair ritual.
How to use
- For daily finish: dispense 1–2 drops into palms, warm together, and smooth over the surface of dry styled hair, focusing on ends
- For damp hair heat-styling base: apply 2–3 drops to towel-dried hair before blow-drying, distributing from mid-length to tips
- For overnight treatment: apply 3–4 drops throughout damp hair before bed, braid loosely, and rinse in morning
- For frizzy ends: apply a single drop to fingertips and smooth specifically over flyaways
- Do not rinse out for regular use
Ingredients
- Cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone blend — ultra-lightweight silicone base that delivers exceptional shine and frizz control without the heaviness of oil-only formulas
- KAO lamellar liquid crystal complex (EX) — deposits lipid bilayer structures into cortex and cuticle gaps to rebuild structural integrity and surface smoothness
- Camellia sinensis (green tea) seed oil — antioxidant-rich botanical oil with a naturally light, non-greasy texture that nourishes the hair
- Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate — UV filter that protects colour-treated and bleached hair from photo-degradation during outdoor exposure
- Panthenol — pro-vitamin that improves hair elasticity and moisture retention
- Bergamot & daphne fragrance — the refined THE ANSWER EX signature scent
FAQ
Will this oil make my hair look greasy?
When used in the right amount (1–2 drops for fine hair, 2–3 for thick or long hair), the formula delivers shine without visible greasiness; start with one drop and add more if needed.
Can I use this on fine hair?
Yes — start with a single drop and avoid the scalp; the lightweight silicone base is specifically chosen to avoid weighing down fine strands.
Is this different from a standard salon hair oil?
Yes — the THE ANSWER EX Oil uniquely combines a cosmetic oil base with the lamellar repair complex, delivering both immediate finish and progressive structural improvement.
Can I use both the Water Serum and Hair Oil in the same routine?
Yes — apply the Water Serum to damp hair before drying, then use the Oil as a finishing layer on dry styled hair.
Does the UV filter make this suitable for daytime sun protection?
The UV filter extends colour vibrancy outdoors but does not replace facial SPF; use a dedicated SPF product for skin.
🇵🇭 For Philippines customers
Frizz is the dominant hair complaint in the Philippine tropics — year-round humidity above 70% causes even well-conditioned hair to expand, lose definition, and look ungroomed by mid-morning. KAO THE ANSWER EX Care & Coat Hair Oil is a finishing treatment oil formulated with KAO's lamellar liquid crystal complex that smooths the cuticle and suppresses frizz at the structural level while depositing deep, glossy shine — not a silicone coating that washes out, but a progressive repair treatment that improves hair texture with continued use.
The 80ml size delivers intense finishing results while remaining lightweight enough that Filipino women with fine-to-medium hair can use it without the heavy, greasy feel that many treatment oils cause in humid weather — particularly relevant as Philippine beauty consumers seek salon-quality home treatment that bridges the gap between biannual rebonding appointments.

KAO THE ANSWER EX Care & Coat Hair Oil is a finishing treatment oil formulated with KAO's lamellar liquid crystal complex that smooths the cuticle and suppresses frizz at the structural level while depositing deep, glossy shine — not a silicone coating that washes out, but a progressive repair treatment that improves hair texture with continued use.
