RIKOKO luxury haircare
RIKOKO luxury haircare was created by expert colorist Richy Kandasamy and brand visionary Renee
Cascarina. RIKOKO products are formulated with mature coconut oil harvested in the Seychelles Islands, and enhanced with wild ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, and vetiver. The entire line is sulfate free, paraben free, gluten free, cruelty free and vegan, with a distinct global point of view, suitable for all hair types.
The RIKOKO story benefits from the two founder's insight and experience, creating one-of-a-kind products, world-class education, technology and and in-salon service experience.
Kandasamy names four reasons why RIKOKO is the answer to dry, fly-away hair that happens most during cold winter months but can happen anywhere, anytime:
Dry air can actually cause the cuticle of the hair strand to lift. As a result, moisture doesn’t stand a chance of staying locked into the hair shaft, causing breakage, frizz, static hair, split ends, and color fade. RIKOKO LOCK back bar treatment seals and smooths the hair cuticle, locking in color in to keep hair vibrant. This service was created to energize your salon treatment revenue.
RIKOKO LOCK Shampoo will not only nourish your hair, but will also preserve the natural oils your scalp produces to moisturize your hair and keep it healthy. Complete the luxurious journey with RIKOKO LOCK Conditioner. Key ingredients include coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, hibiscus and wild ginger.
In addition to your hair being zapped of moisture during the dry winter months, high winds can also cause damage - especially with thicker hair types, naturally curly textures, and long hair so easily snagged and tangled. The PRISM range of lightweight leave-in conditioners are made to seal and heal and to protect against heat, color fade and tangles.
A combination of dryness creates the perfect static conditions. KOKOBALM multitasking solid coconut oil works like a weightless pomade to control flyways, tame frizz and eliminate static cling.
RIKOKO Lock starts at the basin and is a 2-phase post-color service that naturally balances PH and locks in colour in just 10 minutes.
RIKOKO Prism, a prepping line of leave-in conditioners that tone, maintain, heal and naturally pop colour with lightweight coconut oil, vetiver and passion fruit.
RIKOKO Noir, the finishing line includes the travel friendly and fan-favourite, KOKOBALM - a solid coconut oil infused with strengthening lemongrass that naturally adds weightless shine and healing benefits.
