Recommended Products From This Brand

Milbon Smooth Shampoo
A smoothing shampoo direction for Asian hair that tangles easily but cannot handle heavy residue.
Asian hair that tangles and roughs up after washing needs smoothing without weight; a smoothing shampoo flattens the cuticle so hair detangles and keeps movement, which a heavy wash would sink.
Fine-to-medium Asian hair needing smoother lengths without losing movement.

Milbon Scalp Shampoo
A scalp-focused shampoo option for clients who need a cleaner root feel without harsh stripping.
Straight Asian hair sits close to the scalp and shows oil at the part within a day; a professional scalp shampoo cleans the root properly without the harsh strip a clarifier inflicts on the lengths.
Sensitive or oily scalps wanting a professional daily-use cleanse.

Milbon Prejume Styling Wax 3 (3.2 oz)
A Japanese salon styling wax with light flexible hold, made to give texture rather than lock hair in place.
Straight, heavy Asian hair resists hold, and a texture-first wax gives it grip and definition without the cement look of a strong wax.
Short to medium hair that needs texture and separation rather than rigid hold.

Milbon Plarmia Hairserum F Shampoo 1000ml
A large-size Japanese salon shampoo from Milbon's Plarmia Hairserum line, made in Japan.

Milbon Repair Heat Treatment

Milbon Elujuda MO
