amika The Kure Bond Repair Shampoo

Strengthen compromised hair from the very first step with amika The Kure Strength Repair Shampoo, a bond-fortifying cleanser designed for strands weakened by chemical treatments, heat styling and everyday environmental stressors. amika's bond-fortifying technology targets bonds within the hair that are particularly vulnerable to breakage, helping reinforce damaged strands while you cleanse. Hydrolyzed quinoa, a plant-derived protein rich in amino acids, provides keratin-like conditioning benefits that help improve the feel and resilience of weakened hair. A nourishing blend of avocado oil, borage seed oil, mango butter and shea butter provides fatty acids and emollient conditioning to help balance cleansing with softness and manageability. amika's signature sea buckthorn supplies omega-rich fatty acids that help replenish lipids and support softness, shine and strength. Conditioning polymers and silicone-derived ingredients provide additional slip and surface smoothing to help reduce friction on fragile strands. When used with The Kure Strength Repair Conditioner as a system, it is clinically proven to deliver 2× stronger hair with 55% less breakage after one use, making it an ideal wash-day choice when strengthening and damage repair are the priority.

How to Use + Best For

Massage a quarter-sized amount of amika The Kure Strength Repair Shampoo through thoroughly wet hair, concentrating primarily on the scalp and roots, then rinse completely. amika recommends double cleansing—the first wash removes buildup and impurities, while the second allows you to thoroughly cleanse—then following with The Kure Strength Repair Conditioner. It is designed for all hair types 1–4C experiencing damage and is particularly beneficial for high-porosity, bleached, colour-treated, chemically processed, heat-damaged or breakage-prone hair. amika specifically recommends The Kure for high-porosity hair because these strands are generally more vulnerable to damage and can have difficulty retaining moisture. If your high-porosity curls are both damaged and dehydrated, amika recommends alternating a reparative system like The Kure with a moisture-focused system such as Hydro Rush.

Take Khair Tip: If your hair feels weak, breaks easily or has been compromised by bleach, colour or frequent heat styling, reach for The Kure; if your hair feels healthy but simply dry, a moisture-focused shampoo may be a better fit.
