The science behind TOKIO
The Hair Structure
The hair is a three-layered structure comprising of the Cuticle (outermost layer), Cortex (middle layer) and the Medulla (inner core).
Cuticle
The cuticle is the outermost part of the hair shaft. It overlaps in layers like fish scales facing downwards, providing the hair shaft strength and protection. The scales are "stuck" together by natural lipids called Cell Membrane Complex, also known as CMC. During chemical processes such as bleaching, coloring and perming, the cuticles are opened. In this process, CMC is inevitably lost. To make matters worse, the hair does not reproduce CMC again. Therefore, over time, inner proteins will flow out of the hair, resulting in dryness and brittleness.
Cortex
The cortex is the middle layer of the hair, mainly made up of chains of proteins and "glued" together by natural lipids called Cell Membrane Complex (CMC). Cuticle CMC and cortex CMC are different components. The cortex is the biggest and most important part of the hair — it determines the hair strength, elasticity, shape and color. This is why coloring and perm agents act on the cortex to achieve one’s desired hairstyle.
Medulla
The medulla is a soft, fragile and nearly invisible layer. Although it does not have a significant role, it serves as the core or essence of the hair.
Relationship with damage
Hair damage is mainly caused by environmental issues and chemical services such as coloring, bleaching, perming, styling, and thermal damage using flat irons and blow-dryers. The damage caused by these factors changes the physical structure of the hair resulting in hair tangling, breakage, dullness, dryness and unruliness.
TOKIO INKARAMI
Using Japanese patented technology "INKARAMI", TOKIO incorporates professional care and chemistry to attain the highest repair performance ever known in hair history. Once absorbed into the hair, the keratin begins an interlocking process known as "Aggregation Bonding".
TOKIO INKARAMI is the world's first professional hair treatment to replenish lost keratins and interlock them using the patented technology "INKARAMI". It also seals up the cuticle by replenishing the lost CMC, reducing the amount of inner proteins flowing out of the hair. INKARAMI's main objective is to restore damaged hair back to the original healthy hair, allowing hair to regain strength, silkiness, shine and moisture!
