Amika The Kure Strength Repair Conditioner
Amika The Kure conditioner: the strengthening step after The Kure shampoo
This conditioner is for all hair types 1 to 4c with damage, and it is aimed at high porosity hair. It goes on after its partner, The Kure shampoo, the pairing behind the published results below.
It is color safe and keratin safe. The formula is vegan certified and cruelty free.
What the brand says it does
Its product page describes a conditioner that intensely hydrates and works to strengthen dry, damaged hair, and gives these results after one use:
- 55% less breakage
- 2x stronger hair
- Tested as safe for color-treated hair
Its footnotes tie the figures to using the shampoo and conditioner continuously as a system, and the color-safe result to testing the two together. No trial size or method is published.
On the ingredients behind it:
- Fortifying technology: helps target and strengthen hair prone to breakage.
- Plant butters and vegan proteins: rich in nourishing nutrients like omega fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
- Sea buckthorn: loaded with vitamins C and A, the fatty acid omega 7 and antioxidants.
Hydro Rush, Normcore and other lines sit on the whole Amika shelf at Nava.

Before you buy
Is this the Kure Bond Repair Conditioner? It appears to be the same conditioner under its current name. The brand's old bond repair conditioner page address now opens its Strength Repair Conditioner page.
Is there a weekly step to add? The Kure Intense Strength Repair Mask goes on once a week after The Kure shampoo and stays on for 10 minutes.
Does it contain silicones? Yes. Bis-PCA Dimethicone, Disodium PEG-12 Dimethicone Sulfosuccinate and Trimethylsiloxyamodimethicone are on the ingredient list. The plant butters it lists are mango seed butter and shea butter, alongside borage seed oil and hydrolyzed quinoa.
Can the ingredient list change? It can. To confirm the formula suits you, check the list printed on your bottle.
