How to Use
Step 1 — After washing: Towel-dry hair or allow to air-dry briefly. Starting with clean, damp or dry hair gives the formula the clearest path to the strand.
Step 2 — Apply root to ends: Hold 6–8 inches from hair and mist evenly from roots to ends. For extra lift at the root, apply a second mist directly at the base and comb through.
Step 3 — Style with heat to activate: Blow-dry or use a flat iron or curling tool as normal. Heat is what activates the formula — γ-Dodecanolactone responds to thermal energy to reseal the cuticle, while Percea® initiates internal repair at the CMC level.
Note: Works on damp or dry hair. Adjust the amount to your hair length and density — fine hair typically needs 3–4 sprays; thicker or longer hair, 6–8. Does not build up with daily use.
For best results in the Root Beauté ritual: Apply after the Scalp Conditioner as your final leave-in step, before styling.
- Repairs Hair From the Inside Out — While You Style
Most heat products sit on the surface. The Heat Repair Lifting Mist works differently: Percea®, a Japanese salon-grade CMC repair complex, penetrates the hair shaft in under one minute to fill the internal voids left by heat, color, and daily damage. It stays inside the strand even after future washes — so improvement accumulates with every use.
- Lifts and Adds Body Without Stiffness or Residue
Aminoreact® TsV, a patented amino acid derivative developed in Japan, reinforces the hair's internal Cell Membrane Complex to increase each strand's natural bending stiffness. The result is visible root lift and lasting body that originates from within the fiber — not from surface-coating polymers that leave hair feeling stiff, heavy, or crunchy by afternoon.
- Heat-Activated Protection Up to 450°F
γ-Dodecanolactone responds to blow-dryer and styling tool heat by forming bonds with your hair's own keratin amino groups — resealing the cuticle and smoothing the surface in real time. Combined with NanoRepair-EL heat protection up to 450°F / 232°C, every styling session becomes a repair session.
- Nourishes the Scalp — the Only Heat Mist That Does
Panax Ginseng Root Extract supports microcirculation at the follicle, while Susabinori red algae extract (Porphyra yezoensis) — a Porphyran-rich botanical used in Japanese cosmetology — forms a flexible, anti-inflammatory protective film at the scalp and root. No other heat-activated mist in its class actively cares for where hair begins.
- Replenishes Moisture With Japanese Skincare Precision
An 11-amino Natural Moisturizing Factor complex — mirroring the amino acids the hair cortex already contains — works alongside cationic Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrolyzed Silk to restore softness, resilience, and shine. This is the same biomimetic hydration philosophy Japanese skincare applies to skin, now applied to hair.
- Clean Performance, Without Compromise
Formulated without silicones, parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, or synthetic fragrance. Scented exclusively with essential oils. Safe for color-treated, bleached, and chemically processed hair. The Hair Repair Lifting Mist delivers clinical-level repair and styling performance without the ingredients that conventional heat products rely on.

The Science
1 Mist, 3 Treatments Activated with Heat
Every time you blow dry or style your hair, you're caring for it at the same time.
when the heat meets the strand
γ-Dodecanolactone responds to heat by forming bonds with the hair’s keratin structure.This helps reseal the cuticle during styling, improving smoothness and light reflection without relying on surface coatings.
Inside the hair shaft
Percea® penetrates the strand and fills gaps within the CMC (Cell Membrane Complex), the internal structure that connects the hair’s layers.Damage from heat, color, and daily stress weakens this structure. Repairing it improves resilience, texture, and overall uniformity.
at the root
Aminoreact® TsV reinforces internal adhesion within the hair fiber. Instead of creating volume through external polymers that coats and can feel stiff, it supports the strand’s ability to hold shape from within — resulting in lift without any residue.
in under 1 minute
A heat-responsive complex forms a protective layer as styling begins, helping shield the hair from high temperatures up to 450°F.
Why this feels different
No coating. No buildup. No stiffness.
Most styling products create results by sitting on top of the hair. This formula is designed to work within the structure of the strand instead.
That is why the finish feels different:
- Hair remains soft and touchable
- Movement is preserved
- Volume does not collapse into heaviness
- Shine comes from a smoother surface, not added gloss agents
Why this feels different
Care that doesn't stop at the strand
Unlike styling products that ignore the scalp, we take a scalp-first approach with...
- Panax Ginseng extract to support circulation at the follicle level
- Susabinori red algae extract to add a lightweight, protective layer at the roots to help reduce irritation and protect the scalp and hair’s surface when drying.
A scalp-first daily styling routine begins here.
HEAT ACTIVATED ACTIVES
Each ingredient is designed and selected for how it performs under heat, not just how it sits on the hair.
Heat-activated cuticle support
Responds to thermal energy during styling to help reseal the cuticle and improve smoothness without relying on heavy coatings.
Internal repair + hydration
Penetrates the hair fiber in as little as one minute to replenish internal moisture and repair structural gaps, strengthening the hair from within.
Internal structure reinforcement
Targets internal adhesion within the hair fiber to reinforce structure from within, helping hair maintain lift, shape, and resilience without stiffness.
Thermal defense up to 450°F
Activates under heat to form a lightweight protective shield, helping prevent damage during styling up to 450°F
Moisture replenishment
Replenishes essential amino acids lost through heat, color, and daily stress, restoring moisture balance and helping maintain hydration within the hair fiber.
Flexible surface protection
Forms a lightweight, flexible film over the hair surface to reinforce the cuticle, helping reduce friction, smooth texture, and protect against external stress.
Smoothness + lasting hydration
Forms a smooth, conditioning layer along the hair surface while binding moisture to the fiber, improving softness, manageability, and lasting hydration without heaviness.
Scalp conditioning support
Supports healthy microcirculation and helps maintain a balanced scalp environment, reinforcing the root against dryness and stress from repeated heat exposure.
Why This Matters Over Time
As internal structure, hydration, and surface condition improve, the need for multiple styling products is reduced. Hair maintains lift, smoothness, and balance more naturally, leading to a more reliable finish day after day.

FAQs
Most heat protectants form a surface barrier using silicones or coating polymers — they protect by covering the strand, not by repairing it. The Heat Repair Lifting Mist works from within. Percea®, a Japanese salon-grade CMC repair complex, penetrates the hair shaft in under a minute to fill the internal voids left by heat, color, and daily wear. Meanwhile, Aminoreact® TsV reinforces the Cell Membrane Complex (CMC) to restore natural bending stiffness and lift — the kind of body that comes from structural integrity, not product buildup. The result is a single leave-in step that repairs, lifts, and protects up to 450°F — without silicones, coating agents, or residue.
Yes, it was developed with fine and flat hair in mind. The formula is silicone-free and contains no heavy polymers, so there's no risk of weighing the hair down. Aminoreact® TsV works at the CMC level to increase each strand's natural bending stiffness, producing root lift and volume that persists beyond the initial blow-dry. Fine hair typically needs only 3–4 sprays; the formula doesn't build up with daily use.
Heat is what activates the formula's repair and sealing mechanisms. γ-Dodecanolactone (a heat-responsive ingredient derived from natural sources) responds to thermal energy to help reseal the cuticle, and Percea® initiates internal CMC repair most effectively when the formula is warmed during styling. You can apply it on damp or dry hair and allow it to air-dry — and you'll still benefit from the hydration and conditioning actives — but for the full lifting, repairing, and protective effects, styling with a blow-dryer or heat tool is recommended.
Yes. The formula is free from petroleum-based surfactants, parabens, mineral oil, silicones, synthetic fragrance, synthetic colorants, and UV absorbers — all of which can accelerate color fade or cause scalp sensitivity. It is gentle on color-treated strands and works as a complementary step within the full Root Beauté ritual.
CMC stands for Cell Membrane Complex — the lipid-rich matrix that binds the cuticle cells and cortex cells of the hair together. When hair is damaged by heat styling, color treatments, or brushing, the CMC breaks down, causing cuticle lifting, moisture loss, loss of elasticity, and flat, limp texture. Percea® (sodium dilauramidoglutamide lysine) penetrates the hair shaft in under one minute to replenish this structure at the cellular level — restoring smoothness, resilience, and internal moisture retention. Because it remains inside the strand even after washing, its effects accumulate with consistent use.
The Heat Repair Lifting Mist is formulated with a natural essential oils, free from synthetic fragrance compounds. The scent is light, clean, and fades during styling. It does not linger heavily on the hair.
Adjust based on your hair's length and density. Fine or short hair typically needs 3–4 sprays applied root to ends. Thicker or longer hair benefits from 6–8 sprays. For extra root lift, apply a second mist directly at the base and comb through before blow-drying.
Yes. The formula does not contain silicones or heavy film-forming agents, so it will not build up with daily use. It is designed for regular use as a styling step — and its bond-repair effects are cumulative, meaning consistent use supports ongoing improvement in hair strength and smoothness over time.
No, it's a leave-in treatment, so there's no need to rinse it out before bed. You apply it before heat styling and it stays in the hair. The formula doesn't contain silicones or heavy coating agents, so it won't transfer heavily onto a pillowcase or feel sticky overnight.
Apply the Heat Repair Lifting Mist as the final leave-in step after the Scalp Conditioner, before styling. It is designed to work in synergy with the Root Beauté Hair Growth Essence - the Essence supports the scalp and follicle environment, while the Mist protects and repairs the strand itself during heat styling.
The product contains a naturally derived fragrance rather than synthetic fragrance compounds. It is free from synthetic colorants and artificial scent molecules, consistent with KIWABI's clean formulation standards across the Root Beauté line.
This product uses hydrolyzed silk (used for its amino acid profile) so some may consider this not vegan as it is an animal byproduct (silk). All of our products are cruelty-free and formulated and made in Japan.
