Buying guide

How to choose a Zab hair essence

Zab sells its essence-format products as separate concentrates from its shampoo and treatment lines. Six named formulas make up this assortment, each aimed at a different step of perm, color, or repair work.

Shinology Coating Essence

Shinology Coating Essence is a 150ml coating formula. Use it as a finishing step to seal the hair surface after a chemical service.

Silk Nature Crystal Liquid

Silk Nature Crystal Liquid comes in a 170ml bottle. It sits alongside the essence formulas as a lightweight liquid concentrate.

Cysteine Multi Firm

The Perfect Multi Fluid Firm, built on cysteine, is sold in a 500ml size. It is positioned as a firming step for perm processing.

Silk Protein Multi-Firm

Silk Protein Multi-Firm is a separate protein-based formula from the cysteine version above. Compare the two before choosing which firming step fits your process.

Olive Wave Hair Essence

Olive Wave Hair Essence is an 180ml curling essence, also listed as a curling essence and curling cream on some listings. Use it during wave or curl styling.

Milky Hair Essence

Milky Hair Essence is a 200ml formula for everyday leave-in use between chemical services.

Essence vs. Zab's treatment and shampoo lines

These essence concentrates are separate from Zab's chitosan-and-keratin treatment pack and its shampoo line. Pick the essence format when you need a targeted, leave-in or processing-step product rather than a wash-off treatment.
