Schwarzkopf® launches GLISS™ Hair Repair Collection in US

Powered by a high-performance formula, GLISS™ Hair Repair products penetrate deep into the hair to repair and even the slightest damages and restore from the inside out. Liquid keratin technology penetrates up to 10 layers deep, resulting in shinier, healthier looking hair, and up to 90% stronger¹ hair. The breakthrough formula combines this hair repair technology with essential benefits like color protection, intense hydration, long-lasting volume, and weightless nourishment, providing repair benefits without having to compromise.

Located in Germany, Schwarzkopf® brand's lab and salon conducted vigorous research leveraging Nobel Prize winning technology to bring this new collection to life.  "Using virgin hair as our control, we damaged the hair," explains Martina Spinatsch, Vice President of R&D. "After just one use of the GLISS™ Ultimate Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, we found immediate improvement in the look and feel of the damaged hair. We then found significant restoration results in the hair after successive washes. After 20 washes, hair was nearly restored back to its virgin state."

• GLISS™ Ultra Moisture provides essential moisture for up to 85% less hair breakage²

"We are thrilled to bring our world renowned hair care collection to the US. GLISS™ Hair Repair offers an affordable solution for their specific hair concerns," explains Nadine Berghaus, Vice President (Hair) at Henkel Beauty North America. "We know that smooth, strong, shining hair is a top priority for women; however, they are often unable to find the right hair care program for their hair type, which is what we want GLISS™ Hair Repair to provide."

Schwarzkopf® showcases commitment to success as it announces the GLISS™ "Beautiful by Choice" campaign within the first year in the US market.
