Tsubaki Premium EX Damage Care Repair Shampoo 450ml

TSUBAKI Premium EX Damage Care & Repair Shampoo 450ml is an intensive repair shampoo for bleached, heavily colour-treated, and structurally damaged hair that has hollow or brittle sections that resist standard conditioning — using the Ion EX Repair Complex to fill damaged internal gaps in the hair shaft during the wash step. The black-bottle EX series is the highest-strength line within the TSUBAKI range, designed for hair with visible structural compromise rather than everyday dryness.

• Ion EX Repair Complex (Lauryltrimonium Chloride + Hydroxyethylurea) — charged repair actives that are attracted to damaged sites and fill structural gaps within the hair shaft
• Camellia Seed Oil — restores living shine and flexibility from within the hair cortex
• Soybean Seed Extract — strengthens weakened hair and reduces breakage from within
• Silk Protein — seals surface damage and adds a smooth, high-slip cuticle finish
• Visible results from first use — the Ion EX complex begins filling damage immediately
• 450ml pump bottle — pairs with the EX Damage Care & Repair Conditioner

How it works: Bleach removes both melanin and the CMC lipid layer that protects internal hair structure — leaving hollow, porous sections that absorb products unevenly and break more easily. The Ion EX Complex uses electrostatic attraction: positively charged repair molecules are drawn specifically to the negatively charged damaged zones where the CMC is absent, concentrating repair precisely where the hair has lost structural material rather than distributing across the whole strand.

EX Damage Care vs Tsubaki Moist & Repair: The Moist & Repair shampoo targets everyday dry and mildly damaged hair with Camellia Oil as the primary active. This EX Damage Care targets structurally compromised, bleached, or heavily colour-processed hair using the Ion EX Complex for gap-filling repair. If your hair snaps, has hollow-feeling sections, or remains rough despite regular conditioning, the EX is the appropriate choice.

Known in Japan as TSUBAKI プレミアムEX ダメージケア＆リペア シャンプー 450ml.
