KERASYS Damage Clinic: A Complete Guide to the Repair Hair Care Line
The KERASYS Damage Clinic line is built around one goal: restoring structurally compromised hair. It covers every step of the wash routine and comes in sizes that range from a standard 600ml to a salon-grade 4000ml rinse, making it one of the few Korean hair care lines that genuinely serves both home and professional users at the same product quality level.
Who the Damage Clinic line is designed for
Damage Clinic is aimed at hair that has undergone structural changes from chemical processes. The primary candidates are bleached hair, which loses protein and lipid content through oxidative processes; color-treated hair, especially hair that has been colored multiple times; permanently waved or straightened hair; and hair weakened by prolonged heat styling without heat protection. Healthy hair typically does not need the concentrated repair focus of this line, though it can be used without harm. The difference is visible most clearly on hair that has become porous, dull, brittle, or prone to breakage.
Damage Clinic Shampoo: four sizes for different usage rates
The Damage Clinic Shampoo is available in four sizes: 600ml, 750ml, 980ml, and 1000ml. The 600ml is a practical midpoint size, lasting roughly one to two months of daily use for one person. The 750ml and 980ml sizes are volume steps suited for households with multiple users or higher-frequency washing. The 1000ml is the largest standard size, providing maximum value per ml for everyday use. For truly high-volume users, the Extra Damage Shampoo 2kg is a professional or multi-user format that covers four to six months of daily use. The 2kg size is significant value for salons, households with multiple users, or people who wash their hair daily and prefer fewer reorders.
Damage Clinic Conditioner and Rinse: the conditioning step
Two conditioner formats are available: the Damage Clinic Conditioner in 980ml and 1000ml, and the Damage Clinic Rinse in 600ml. The Conditioner is the main moisturizing and repair treatment applied after shampooing, left on for two to three minutes, then rinsed. The 980ml and 1000ml are equivalent in practical terms; both are full-size bottles for sustained daily use. The Rinse (600ml) is a lighter conditioner format used for everyday conditioning without the heavier protein or treatment load of the main Conditioner. A common approach is to use the Rinse on lighter wash days and the Conditioner when hair needs more attention. The Extra Damage Rinse 4000ml is the professional-scale equivalent, a large-format rinse for salons or high-volume home use over several months.
Damage Clinic Treatment 300ml: the intensive weekly step
The Damage Clinic Treatment (300ml) is the most concentrated product in the line. Unlike the conditioner used after every wash, the Treatment is applied one to two times per week as a deeper repair step: applied to clean hair, left on for five to fifteen minutes (longer with heat), then rinsed. The 300ml size is appropriate for this weekly use pattern, lasting four to eight weeks at one to two treatments per week. The Treatment targets protein reinforcement and moisture-sealing in the hair shaft more aggressively than the Conditioner, and is the most impactful product in the line for visibly bleached or broken hair. It pairs with the Conditioner for a two-step conditioning approach: light conditioning every wash, deep treatment once or twice weekly.
Extra Damage Shampoo 2kg and Rinse 4000ml: professional scale
The Extra Damage formats are where the KERASYS Damage Clinic line distinguishes itself from most retail hair care brands. The 2kg shampoo and 4000ml rinse are sold in bulk formats typically used in Korean salons for backbar application. For home buyers, these sizes are practical for large families, people who share a bathroom with multiple daily users, or people who are committed to the formula and want to buy less frequently. The 4000ml rinse is one of the largest single hair care SKUs available outside professional supply channels, and its presence in the skinsli lineup is unusual for an international retail store. At the standard daily-use rate of one shampoo wash per day, the 2kg shampoo covers approximately three to four months for one person.
A standard Damage Clinic routine for weekly home use
A practical Damage Clinic home routine runs as follows. Daily wash: Damage Clinic Shampoo (any size), followed by Damage Clinic Conditioner or Rinse depending on hair density and how much conditioning is needed that day. Weekly treatment day (one or two per week): Damage Clinic Shampoo, then Damage Clinic Treatment instead of the Conditioner, left on five to fifteen minutes with heat if possible before rinsing. This routine maintains surface conditioning every day and performs structural repair on designated treatment days. For hair in severe distress (heavily bleached or chemically processed multiple times), the Treatment can be used after every wash during an initial recovery period before transitioning to once-weekly use.
When to use the Conditioner versus the Treatment
The distinction between conditioner and treatment use is primarily about frequency and exposure time. The Damage Clinic Conditioner is formulated for every-wash use: lightweight enough for daily conditioning without buildup or heaviness. The Treatment is a higher-concentration formula not designed for daily use, as over-application can cause protein overload, which makes hair feel stiff and brittle rather than soft. Use the Treatment on dedicated repair days and the Conditioner the rest of the time. If your hair feels stiff and heavy after switching to the Treatment daily, reduce frequency to once per week and rely on the Conditioner for daily use.
Choosing the right Damage Clinic size for your household
The size choice in the Damage Clinic line depends on how many people use the product and how often. For one person washing daily: 980ml or 1000ml shampoo and conditioner. For two people washing daily: 1000ml sizes may last only six to eight weeks; the Extra Damage 2kg shampoo and 4000ml rinse become more economical at this volume. For occasional use (two to three times per week, one person): 600ml or 750ml covers two to three months per bottle. For salons or professional settings: Extra Damage formats are the practical choice. The Treatment at 300ml is appropriate for all user types at the once-to-twice-weekly frequency it is designed for.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the KERASYS Damage Clinic line and who is it for?
The KERASYS Damage Clinic line is a repair-focused hair care range formulated for hair weakened by bleaching, color treatments, chemical processing, or heavy heat styling. It covers shampoos, conditioners, a rinse, and an intensive treatment. The line is not necessary for healthy undamaged hair, but it is highly effective for hair that has become brittle, porous, or prone to breakage from chemical processes.
Which Damage Clinic Shampoo size should I buy for daily use?
For one person using the shampoo daily: the 980ml or 1000ml sizes offer the best per-wash value and last roughly six to eight weeks. For occasional use (two to three times per week), the 600ml or 750ml is a better fit at around two to three months per bottle. For two or more daily users, the Extra Damage Shampoo 2kg is the most economical and covers three to four months for one daily user or approximately six to eight weeks for two.
Is the KERASYS Extra Damage Rinse 4000ml suitable for home use?
Yes, it is available for home purchase, though it is primarily sized for salons and multi-user households. For a single person using the rinse daily, 4000ml covers approximately three to four months. It is the most economical per-ml option in the Damage Clinic range. Storage requires a large bottle or decanting into a smaller working container for shower use.
How often should I use the Damage Clinic Treatment versus the Conditioner?
Use the Damage Clinic Conditioner (980ml or 1000ml) every time you wash your hair as the standard conditioning step. Use the Damage Clinic Treatment (300ml) once or twice per week as a deeper repair step, replacing the conditioner on those days. Leave the Treatment on for five to fifteen minutes before rinsing. Daily Treatment use can cause protein overload, making hair feel stiff and heavy. If that happens, reduce Treatment frequency to once per week.
Does the KERASYS Damage Clinic Treatment work better with heat?
Yes. Applying heat during the treatment, whether from a heated shower cap, a warm towel wrapped around the head, or a hair steamer, opens the hair cuticle slightly and improves penetration of the treatment's repair ingredients. Five minutes under heat is often more effective than fifteen minutes without. If heat tools are not available, even leaving the Treatment on for ten to fifteen minutes at room temperature provides measurable benefit over a standard one-to-two-minute conditioner rinse.
What is the difference between the Damage Clinic Rinse 600ml and the Conditioner?
The Damage Clinic Rinse is lighter than the Conditioner, better suited for everyday quick conditioning on wash days when hair does not need intensive treatment. The Conditioner (980ml or 1000ml) is more concentrated and targeted for damaged hair requiring stronger repair with each wash. Using the Rinse on lighter days and the Conditioner or Treatment when hair feels particularly dry or brittle is a flexible approach that avoids protein buildup from using the heavier formula daily.
Is the KERASYS Damage Clinic line suitable for bleached hair?
Yes, bleached hair is the primary use case the Damage Clinic line is formulated for. Bleaching oxidizes and strips the hair shaft of natural proteins and lipids, causing the porosity and brittleness that the Damage Clinic products are designed to address. The shampoo cleans without further stripping, the conditioner replenishes daily moisture and surface conditioning, and the Treatment provides the most concentrated protein and repair work for the most damaged sections.
Can I use the Damage Clinic Shampoo on color-treated hair without fading the color?
The Damage Clinic Shampoo is formulated for damaged hair and has a sulfate content calibrated for cleansing without excessive stripping. It is gentler than a clarifying shampoo. For freshly colored hair, using it immediately after coloring may cause some fade, as any shampoo does. For regularly maintained color that is more than a few days old, the Damage Clinic Shampoo is compatible with color-treated hair and is a common choice in Korean hair care routines where coloring and repair are managed together.
What is the correct order for the KERASYS Damage Clinic products in a shower routine?
Apply the Damage Clinic Shampoo first to wet hair, lather and rinse. On regular days, follow with the Conditioner or Rinse, leave on for two to three minutes, then rinse. On treatment days (once or twice weekly), apply the Treatment instead, leave on for five to fifteen minutes with heat if possible, then rinse. Do not use both Conditioner and Treatment in the same wash session, as layering two heavy conditioning products causes buildup.
Are KERASYS Damage Clinic products on skinsli authentic and imported from Korea?
Yes. All KERASYS products at skinsli are sourced and imported directly from Korea. They carry original Korean labeling and are the same formulas sold in the Korean market.
