About this product
TOKIO INKARAMI 0 System Treatment is the opening step of TOKIO's professional 3-step INKARAMI in-salon system. Its urea-based formula preps compromised, heat- or chemically-hardened hair so the keratin in Steps 1 and 2 can penetrate more effectively — the groundwork behind the brand's signature salon treatment.
How to use
- Apply as the first step to towel-dried, cleansed hair (after TOKIO INKARAMI Pre-Shampoo, per salon protocol).
- Distribute evenly through lengths and ends, focusing on the most heat- or chemically-processed areas.
- Process per salon timing, then move on to TOKIO INKARAMI 1.
Ingredients
- Urea — A natural moisturizing factor (NMF) component with keratin-softening action that helps soften heat- or alkali-hardened keratin and restore hair's swelling capacity, promoting deeper penetration of the treatments that follow.
FAQ
Why is there a 'Step 0' before the keratin steps?
Heat and alkali processing can harden hair's keratin structure; Step 0's urea softens it and restores swelling capacity, so Steps 1 and 2 penetrate rather than just sitting on the surface.
Can I skip Step 0 and just use Step 2?
The 3 steps are designed to work as a sequence — skipping the prep step is not how the system is intended to be used.
