Cortex Prep
Action and indication
The Ziv Professional Cortex Prep is Step 2 of the Intra-Cortex system. It deep-cleanses without stressing the weakened fiber and opens the cuticle just enough for the reconstructor to penetrate, keeping the cortex primed.
Indicated for
- Hair that stretches and does not recover in the elasticity test
- Uneven porosity along the length
- Breakage when combing wet
- Post-lightening, post-color, post-transformation
