Pros: Revitalizes dry, damaged hair. Scent is natural and delicious. Leaves hair stylish and tangle-free.
Cons: Only available through salons and on-line salons. Medium-high cost.
The Bottom Line: This shampoo is excellent for dry, damaged hair, even for fine hair. It's my regular daily shampoo, even on my baby's fine hair! The scent is natural and very pleasant.

| Ralleia's Full Review: Kms Daily Repair Shampoo |
This shampoo has been the only one I buy for my own hair since 2001. My hairdresser first recommended it to me after I impulsively had my hair permed while working in another part of the country. The perm, coupled with a few months of hard water and moisture-stripping shampoos had left me with a bird's nest of brittle, ugly, and unmanageable hair. My hairdresser told me that he'd never seen hair in such bad condition. He recommended that I use the KMS brand Daily Repair line (it was called KMS NEFA back then) to get my hair back to workable.
I tried them, and within a week my hair was manageable once again. Nothing can truly repair damaged hair (hair is dead tissue) but the shampoo along with the conditioner provided enough moisture that I could actually style it again. Though I have very fine hair, the shampoo did not weigh my hair down. Instead, it gave it the moisture it needed to look healthy and soft, especially in the dry winter air. With a little bit of mousse applied at the hair base, styling was easy and my hair had volume.
Scent The scent is very appealing as well. The only other shampoo that comes close to smelling this good is the Garnier Fructis line. KMS Daily Repair shampoo is labeled as having a "pina colada," fragrance. Although I don't like pina coladas (I don't like the taste of coconut), I think the shampoo smells absolutely yummy. I admit that I occasionally stick my nose in the shampoo bottle to take a sniff.
Normal Usage My hair gets this shampoo almost every day. Once in a while I shampoo with my husbands Neutrogena coal tar shampoo (T/Gel) to really clean my scalp and to prevent any possible build-up. I haven't noticed any hair-dulling residues, and my hair is always soft and manageable. With the shampoo and soft water, I rarely use the conditioner since the shampoo already contain moisture protectants. I've been working on one bottle of conditioner for three years!
Baby Care This is the shampoo that I use on my baby's fine hair. After using standard baby shampoo on her scalp for a while, I noticed the baby shampoo would leave her hair dried-out, easily-tangled, fly-away and utterly unmanageable. She would also get dry, flaky skin on her scalp. Now I only use the daily repair shampoo on her, and her hair is silky soft with few, if any tangles. The dry skin on the scalp is cured. I also use the KMS Daily Repair Reconstructor conditioner every time I wash her hair ends to further reduce tangles.
Ingredients:
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Soybean Oil, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Sesame Oil, Corn Oil, Lecithin, Hydrolyzed Yeast, Pollen Extract, Quatarnium-80, Dimethicone Copolyol, Tetrasodium EDTA, Citric Acid, DMDM Hydantoin, FD&C Yellow No. 5, FD&C Yellow No. 6, Fragrance.
Fragrance: Pina colada
Texture and Appearance: Yellow and somewhat thick, though not so thick as to prevent its use in a wall-mounted dispenser. I have this shampoo loaded in master shower and the main bathroom tub so it is always available.
UPDATE KMS has either discontinued this line or changed the name again, this time to "KMS Moist Repair" in a blue-accented bottle. Most likely it is discontinued (since the new "Moist Repair" is based on aloe and vanilla, so the current stock of KMS Daily Repair is the last that will be available. I wonder if it freezes well?
