Skin-Nomad's Take — At a Glance
- Protein Bonding rinse-off treatment with seven-form HA and three hydrolysed proteins
- Seven plant oils including Argan, Camellia, and Rosa Canina for cuticle nourishment
- Violet Muguet scent — paired with the Protein Bonding Shampoo as a complete system
Seven forms of Hyaluronic Acid in a single hair treatment is a formulation decision that requires explanation to justify rather than to impress: each HA form occupies a different molecular weight range and interacts with the hair shaft at a different structural level. The KUNDAL Protein Bonding Treatment Violet Muguet uses Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolysed Hyaluronic Acid, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolysed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, and Potassium Hyaluronate to address moisture at every level from the surface film to the inner cortex, alongside Hydrolysed Rice Protein, Hydrolysed Soy Protein, and Hydrolysed Oat Protein for complementary cortex repair and a complete free amino acid complex. Seven plant oils (Argan, Camellia Japonica, Rosa Canina, Calophyllum, Avocado, Castor, and Jojoba) address cuticle conditioning with fatty acid diversity across oleic, linoleic, alpha-linolenic, and lauric profiles. This is the intensive rinse-off treatment step of the Protein Bonding system, designed to pair with the shampoo at every wash. KUNDAL is a Seoul-based South Korean brand founded in 2019.
Key Benefits
The formula delivers seven-form Hyaluronic Acid multi-level moisture, three complementary hydrolysed proteins, a complete amino acid complex, and a seven-oil emollient system in a rinse-off treatment for damaged and colour-treated hair.
- Seven-Form Hyaluronic Acid for Comprehensive Hair Moisture: Potassium Hyaluronate and Hydrolysed Sodium Hyaluronate are the two forms specific to this treatment (beyond the five shared with the shampoo and leave-in). Potassium Hyaluronate improves scalp moisture retention; Hydrolysed Sodium Hyaluronate provides the smallest HA fragments for maximum cortex penetration. Together the seven forms address surface film, cuticle binding, inner cortex hydration, and sustained moisture release simultaneously.
- Hydrolysed Rice, Soy, and Oat Proteins for Complementary Repair: Rice Protein (100 ppb) is rich in alanine and glycine, contributing structural cohesion amino acids. Soy Protein (10 ppb) adds cysteine for disulfide bond repair. Oat Protein (10 ppb) delivers beta-glucan-adjacent peptides with conditioning and anti-inflammatory properties. The three together cover structural, bond-repair, and anti-inflammatory protein support in a single treatment step.
- Complete Free Amino Acid Complex: All twenty standard amino acids are present alongside the hydrolysed proteins, providing the smallest molecular-weight building blocks for targeted cortex repair at the individual amino acid level rather than only the peptide level.
- Seven-Oil Cuticle Emollient Complex: Argan contributes oleic and linoleic antioxidant nourishment; Camellia Japonica adds oleic acid smoothing; Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) delivers linoleic acid with skin-barrier repairing properties from the same mechanism that benefits facial skin; Calophyllum brings calophyllic acid for unique barrier repair; Avocado, Castor, and Jojoba add emollient weight and shine. Seven oils with distinct fatty acid profiles deliver more comprehensive cuticle conditioning than any two or three-oil blend.
Why Choose the KUNDAL Protein Bonding Treatment Violet Muguet?
- Seven HA Forms Versus the Standard One or Two: Most hair treatments use a single Hyaluronic Acid weight (typically Sodium Hyaluronate) at the surface level. Seven forms with distinct molecular weights and cuticle-binding properties deliver moisture to every structural level of the hair shaft that a single-weight HA treatment cannot reach.
- System Coherence With the Shampoo and No Wash Treatment: The Protein Bonding rinse-off Treatment is formulated to complement the same multi-protein and multi-HA framework used in the shampoo and leave-in, so every step of the wash routine — cleanse, rinse-off treat, and leave-on treat — delivers the same repair system at different contact-time windows rather than using separate, potentially conflicting formulas.
Ideal For
- Hair types: All hair types; particularly medium to coarse, colour-treated, bleached, chemically processed, and high-porosity hair of all curl patterns
- Hair concerns: Protein depletion, breakage, elasticity loss, extreme dryness, frizz, and post-chemical-treatment repair
- Best used by: Those using the Protein Bonding Shampoo who want the rinse-off treatment step to deliver a meaningfully more advanced HA and protein system than conventional conditioners, and anyone whose hair is significantly damaged and needs the most comprehensive rinse-off repair available in a single step.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the Protein Bonding Treatment and the Honey and Macadamia Protein Treatment?
A: The Honey and Macadamia Protein Treatment uses four proteins (Keratin, Silk, Soy, Collagen) with a focus on classic cortex strengthening and a seven-oil blend that includes richer oils like Marula and Calendula. The Protein Bonding Treatment uses three proteins (Rice, Soy, Oat) alongside a seven-form HA system for more comprehensive moisture architecture alongside the protein repair. Both address structural repair; the Protein Bonding Treatment prioritises the moisture-retention system more explicitly.
Q: Why does this treatment use Rice and Oat proteins rather than Keratin and Collagen?
A: Keratin and Collagen are effective structural proteins with amino acid profiles that closely match human hair composition. Rice and Oat proteins contribute a different profile, particularly in alanine, glycine, and beta-glucan-adjacent peptides, and at low concentrations (100 ppb and 10 ppb) they work at the level of individual amino acid delivery rather than large peptide chains. The choice reflects complementarity with the existing amino acid complex rather than substitution of more conventional proteins.
Q: How often should I use this in a week?
A: For colour-treated and significantly damaged hair, weekly or every-wash use is appropriate. For moderately damaged hair, two to three times weekly is sufficient. Pair with the KUNDAL Protein Bonding Shampoo to maintain the system consistency at the cleansing step.
The KUNDAL Protein Bonding Treatment Violet Muguet is the rinse-off treatment for those who have used conditioners that left their hair feeling temporarily smooth but still brittle and dry — the seven-form HA and three-protein system addresses the moisture architecture that conventional conditioning agents do not reach.
