How to Care for Your Hair – the Kintsu Way
THE HARMONY OF UTILITY AND BEAUTY
At Kintsu Collective, we believe that true beauty begins with intention.
The finest results come from care, craft, and the quiet excellence behind every Japanese formula we choose. We seek, select, and share Japan’s most trusted hair care treasures — so you can experience beauty that’s not only seen, but deeply felt.
We don’t just smooth over damage — we rebuild hair from the inside out.
Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, which restores broken pottery with gold, we believe that repair is not merely recovery — it’s a transformation.
Every formula we offer is crafted to work on a molecular level, turning your daily routine into a ritual of true restoration.
Science Behind the Ritual
Ceramide-Like Repair Complex
Rebuilds the hair's barrier to lock in moisture and restore flexibility.
Ceramide-Like Repair Complex reinforces the hair’s natural barrier, locking in moisture for long-lasting softness and elasticity.
Oil PPT Complex (Silk & Collagen)
Smooths and fills damaged areas, creating a flexible coating.
Oil PPT Complex (Silk & Collagen) acts like a flexible sealant, smoothing over damage while reinforcing weak spots.
14 Natural Plant Oils
Provide antioxidant protection and replenish the lipid layer.
14 Natural Plant Oils like jojoba, camellia, and avocado deliver antioxidant protection and replenish essential lipids for a healthy, radiant finish.
Triple Action Formula
Damaged cuticles are the root cause of dryness, dullness, and split ends. By restoring the cuticle layer, hair regains smoothness, shine, and strength.
Recommended Products:
- ReKERA Emulsion
→ A high-performance treatment with nano-keratin that penetrates deeply to repair the hair’s internal structure and smooth lifted cuticles. - PURE PEACE NIGHT CARE MASK
→ A lipid-rich overnight mask that mimics the hair’s cuticle layer, sealing in nutrients and reinforcing surface protection.
Healthy hair isn’t just about moisture—it’s about balance. Aqua Control helps regulate hydration and oil levels, preventing both dryness and heaviness.
Recommended Products:
- GALBA Emulsion
→ A lightweight daily treatment that delivers moisture without heaviness—ideal for maintaining bounce and smoothness. - PURE PEACE MILK
→ Powered by ceramides and 18-MEA, this leave-in formula helps hair retain moisture while remaining soft and manageable.
Just like skin, hair needs a barrier. Heat, UV, and environmental stressors strip away natural lipids. Barrier Support fortifies the outer layer, shielding hair from daily damage.
Recommended Products:
- ReKERA Mist / GALBA Mist
→ Lightweight sprays that provide thermal protection, reduce static, and reinforce daily defenses—perfect before styling. - PURE PEACE DROP OIL
→ A nourishing oil blend with silk protein and keratin to coat and protect the hair from environmental stress and styling heat.
