Zotos Professional announces the debut of their new damage-repairing 180PRO hair care line.

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.
