Zotos Professional is about to launch a breakthrough for serious hair breakage as they announce the debut of their new 180PRO line.
Designed to mend particularly traumatized tresses, the professional salon hair care system targets hair’s worst breaking points, and repair up to 2 years of hair abuse.
The secret behind this powerful promise is ultrareparative Pro-Peptide Complex, a combination of reinforcing protein peptides and conditioning agents designed to help improve the strength and health of hair. The complex also conditions the surface of the hair and reduces fiber-to-fiber friction to create healthy movement and body.
Perfect for clients who think their hair has reached the point of no repair, the Zotos Professional 180PRO line will be available in September 2014.
The Zotos Professional 180PRO collection will launch with 10 products: two shampoos, two conditioners, three styling formulas and three treatments.
Anchoring the line is Miracle Repair Damage Eliminator Treatment (6 oz), which uses a patent pending crosslinking ingredient to attract the reparative benefits of all 180PRO products to damaged areas like a magnet, intensifying the results. The ingredient strengthens hair with each use while building elasticity.

The rest of the product line includes:
Intense Reconstruct Shampoo & Conditioner (12 oz each) – A color-safe pair that instantly restores strength to broken, brittle hair that’s severely damaged from thermal styling or harsh chemical and coloring services.
Moisture Repair Shampoo & Conditioner (12 oz each) – A color-safe pair that delivers exceptional hydration to overly dry, rough, or frizzy hair that’s lost manageability, softness and control.
Rapid Restorer Rinse-Out Balm (5.1 oz) – An ultra-rich, restorative weekly treatment that radically rehydrates, repairs and deeply conditions extremely dry, parched hair.
Heat Rescue Leave-In Hydrator (8 oz) – A protective treatment applied before styling with hot appliances that instantly conditions, detangles and protects hair from heat up to 450°.
Flawless Finisher Firm Hold Hairspray (9 oz) – An all-day, firm hold spray that provides longlasting lift and style support with a humidityresistant, high-shine finish and no sticky residue.
Total Tamer Foaming Smoother (7 oz) – A unique pillow-soft mousse that delivers straight blowouts or soft, bouncy curls by sealing the cuticle, softening hair, taming frizz and providing a touch of hold.
Frizz Resister Dry Shine Oil MicroMist (5 oz) – An ultra-fine mist that locks out frizz, smoothes hair and fights flyaways for a sleek, polished, shiny look that feels completely weightless.
