Mizani’s new three-step repairing system is the brand's first professional, in-salon strengthening service. These back-bar products strengthen and repair overprocessed, color-treated and transitioning hair prone to damage, leaving hair that is supple, fortified and strong with four times less breakage.

Mizani introduces the new Strength Fusion Post Chemical Rescue Service, its first professional, in-salon back-bar strengthening service. This system progressively strengthens and repairs overprocessed, color-treated and transitioning hair prone to damage, leaving hair that is supple, fortified and strong with four times less breakage.
Mizani’s new three-step strengthening and repairing service is formulated with ingredients including plant derived Spirulina superfood, Vitamin E Oil, and Intra-Cylane Technology to fill hair fiber, recover hair from damage and seal in strength. It can be used on all curl types and textures with any Mizani back bar chemical services.
"Women with textured hair love to transform their style, but with each transformation, hair is exposed to harsh chemicals and damage," says Kate Oechsle-Truesdale, Mizani USA director of education. "Mizani recognizes the value of in-salon treatments and the importance of professional services that treat and maintain hair compromised by multiple conditions. The Strength Fusion Rescue Service is the ultimate tool in building stronger, fortified hair that can be incorporated into every service the stylist offers in the salon."
Mizani Strength Fusion Strengthening and Repairing Shampoo: Prep with Strength Fusion Strengthening and Repairing Shampoo for ultra-recovery of the scalp. Provides respectful, thorough fiber cleansing which leaves hair nourished and soft. Infused with Spirulina superfood and Vitamin E, which provides a high level conditioning effect on the hair.
Mizani Strength Fusion Salvage Shot: Step 1 of the in-salon professional treatment instantly reconstructs the hair cortex from the inside out, restoring strength lost through chemical services. This fortifying treatment, with its rich, jellified texture, easily distributes from root to ends and reinforces hair from the inside out. Formulated with concentrated Intra-Cylane technology.
Mizani Strength Fusion Recover Mask: Step 2 of the in-salon professional treatment serves as a deep conditioning treatment, moisturizing to smooth out strands. Infused with Spirulina Extract and Vitamin E, the gel cream texture is easy to distribute through the hair. Strength Fusion Recover Mask leaves hair incredibly supple, soft, smooth, moisturized and manageable.
Mizani Strength Fusion Ultra Sealer Leave-in Conditioner: Step 3 of the in-salon professional treatment, the Strength Fusion Ultra Sealer, infused with Spirulina superfood, protects the hair fiber by sealing the cuticle for soft hair with shine and movement. The leave-in sealing cream provides fast and easy uniform spreading with heat protection up to 445°F. Hair is left more supple and easier to comb, with better shape memory.
