The COLOR WOW Dream Cocktail Kale-Infused is the strengthening variant of the Dream Cocktail range. While the Carb variant provides volume and the Coconut variant delivers moisture, this formulation is designed for hair that is brittle, weakened, and damaged – often due to coloring, bleaching, or frequent heat styling. The name reflects the kale concept, achieved through two plant extracts: sea kale (Crambe maritima), a type of cabbage that grows along coasts, and knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum), a brown alga. Both are rich in amino acids and minerals and are used to support the hair’s internal sulfur bridges. Like all Dream Cocktails, this variant is heat-activated: the active ingredients only unfold when blow-drying and then specifically bind to damaged areas of the hair fiber. Silicone Quaternium-18 also provides heat protection in the process. For smoothness and combability, the formula includes Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetyl Alcohol, Polyquaternium-37, and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, which supplies the lengths with lipids. After use, hair feels firmer and more resilient without feeling stiff. Unlike the other Dream Cocktails, this variant contains no keratin and is therefore vegan. Apply the product to towel-dried hair and distribute evenly through the lengths and ends, focusing on the most damaged areas. No rinsing is required. Blow-dry thoroughly afterward to activate the active ingredients. COLOR WOW is a professional hair care brand founded by Gail Federici and biochemist Dr. Joe Cincotta. This product is vegan-formulated and contains no animal-derived ingredients. For the full list of ingredients, please refer to the Ingredients tab.
