yes, the closer is color safe

is this safe for keratin, brazilian, or other chemically-treated hair?

yes, the closer is safe for chemically treated hair

when should i use the closer?

we recommend using the closer after washing on damp hair, prior to any additional styling products. it can also be used on dry hair to soften, smooth, and eliminate frizz.

does this have heat protection?

no, the closer does not have heat protection. we recommend using blockade or the shield after the closer for heat protection benefits.

can’t too much protein make your hair brittle and weak?

while the overuse of keratin can lead to brittle and weak hair, the kure collection uses vegan proteins that do not build up on hair or cause breakage! you cannot overuse the kure collection when used as directed.

is there any keratin in these products?

no! we’ve replaced keratin with hydrolyzed quinoa, a vegan protein, so the new kure collection is 100% vegan and does not build up on hair when used as directed.
