Design Essentials Restore Vitamin Treatment for Natural Dry Damaged Hair — White 8 fl oz, Leave-In Protein & Vitamin Strengthener

Design Essentials Restore Vitamin Treatment is a concentrated protein-and-vitamin leave-in treatment formulated to nourish, strengthen, and smooth dry or chemically treated natural hair.

Made with the brand’s Hydrastrength vitamins and a proprietary Protein Complex, this 8 fl oz formula penetrates the hair shaft to replenish moisture and reinforce weakened areas. It works as a weekly restorative mask, a pre-chemical shield, or a leave-in conditioner to improve manageability and shine without weighing hair down. Use alone or mixed with Design Essentials conditioners for targeted results.

How will this treatment help hair that feels brittle and dry?

The Restore Vitamin Treatment delivers vitamins, minerals, and proteins that temporarily bulk weakened strands and smooth cuticles for improved texture. It targets the hair’s inner structure to increase flexibility and reduce the appearance of split ends and roughness.

• Penetrates the cortex to help fill gaps created by damage
• Smooths and seals cuticles for increased shine
• Adds slip for easier detangling and styling

Can I use this before chemical services to protect new growth?

Yes — the product is formulated for pre-chemical application. When applied to previously processed hair before relaxing, coloring, or texturizing, it helps condition strands and improve even distribution of the service while remaining on the hair.

• Apply generously to previously processed areas and comb through for even coverage
• Do not rinse before applying chemical services to the treated sections
• Helps maintain strand integrity during chemical processing

What’s the best way to use it as a restorative or conditioning treatment?

There are flexible routines depending on need: mix with a moisturizing conditioner for an intensive mask, use alone as a post-shampoo conditioner, or leave in for heat-assisted processing. For visible improvement, use weekly for approximately 3–4 weeks, or up to four weeks for deeper restorative cycles.

• As a moisture treatment: combine with a hydrating conditioner and use weekly
• As a conditioning treatment: apply to damp, towel-blotted hair, process up to 15 minutes, then rinse
• For intensive restoration: follow a 3–4 week weekly regimen until hair condition improves

Will this weigh hair down or leave a heavy residue?

The formula is designed to condition and strengthen without excessive buildup when used as directed. Using the recommended amounts and rinsing when performing a deep conditioning step reduces the chance of residue, while leave-in applications should be applied sparingly to avoid heaviness on finer textures.

• Use small amounts for fine hair and fuller amounts for dense or coarse textures
• Rinse after a timed conditioning process to prevent product buildup
• Combine with lighter conditioners for balanced moisture and weight

Who is this for: Design Essentials Restore Vitamin Treatment suits anyone with natural, chemically processed, or heat-stressed hair seeking to rebuild strength, smooth cuticles, and improve manageability. It’s useful for clients preparing for chemical services, people who follow weekly repair routines, and those who want a multipurpose product that doubles as a leave-in and a deep conditioning mask. Avoid using excessive amounts on very fine hair; adjust frequency and mix with lighter conditioners for personalized hydration.

• Features: Restores over-processed or stressed hair
• Infused with a rich blend of conditioners, vitamins, minerals, and proteins
