On the morning of a concert, while holding your hair iron, have you ever thought, "I wish I had started caring for my hair sooner"?

On the day you finally get to meet your favorite idol, you want to express a special version of yourself from head to toe. With your fashion, your makeup, and your hair, too.

The "beauty prep" KEMA proposes is an expression of love for your hair, carefully built up a little while before the big event. The habit you start today will transform how you feel on that day.

01

Why "preparation" matters

Why "preparation" matters

Beautiful hair cannot be achieved with care only on the day of. The cortex inside your hair is damaged little by little through daily bleaching, coloring, and heat styling. Once the cuticle on the surface peels away, your hair becomes dry, loses its shine, and becomes difficult to manage, no matter how much you iron it.

That is why the concept of "preparation" is necessary. By beginning intensive care three days to a week before the big event, nourishing ingredients penetrate the damaged areas, making styling significantly easier. When hair is moisturized from within, the hold of your curls and that silky-smooth texture change dramatically.

KEMA Luxury 7-Day Ritual

A week to lavishly use KEMA’s luxury lineup for your special day. From shampoo to scalp care and leave-in treatments—each item plays its role, and you can feel your hair changing day by day. Enjoy a luxurious hair care routine that will have you looking forward to who you'll be in 7 days.

Scalp Reset

The day to set your foundation. Choose your favorite.

Scalp Nutrition

"Your scalp is part of your face"—nourish your scalp like a serum.

Day 2 Two days before

Before drying. Prep wet hair after towel drying.

After towel drying to remove excess water, the key is to apply before you blow-dry. This protects hair from heat while locking repair ingredients inside, dramatically improving the finish and longevity.

Day 1 The day before

Grand Finale

The final touch of the 7-day ritual—for hair that catches the light.

Choose based on your desired style for the finish on dried hair. Both will help keep your hair radiant until the day you meet your oshi.

For Glossy Straight

Penta S Oil

¥5,940

A finishing oil to apply with your fingers from the tips of dried hair. Provides a wet-look shine that lasts until the next morning with a light feel, perfect for straight or tied hairstyles.

For Curl Keep

NEW

CD Serum

¥4,620

An oil serum that keeps curls beautiful for a long time. Recommended for those who want to create curled or wavy styles. It prevents curls from loosening or frizzing, maintaining your ideal style until the moment you meet your "oshi" (idol/favorite).

"I want to be more beautiful because I'm going to see them."——
KEMA fully supports that sentiment.

The "5-Step Completion Routine" for the Morning Of

Morning-of styling routine

After 7 days of preparation, your hair is already on standby. Don't rush on the morning of the big day; let's finish it with these 5 steps. Well-prepped hair makes a dramatic difference in how well the iron takes and how long the style lasts.

  • 1

    "Dampen and Tidy" instead of a morning shampoo

    In the morning, there’s no need to wash your hair again; simply dampening it lightly with water and tidying it with your fingers is enough. The remaining oil from the previous day will create a natural shine.

  • 2

    Style that defies heat with the Moist-Heat Iron DBST-24 + Penta S Oil

    KEMA's pride, the Moist-Heat Straightening Iron DBST-24 (¥60,500), is designed to release water vapor while styling, which helps reduce damage to the cuticle compared to dry heat. Furthermore, by applying Penta S Oil (¥5,940) to your hair before styling, the heat-resistant oil components will protect your hair from the inside out, further enhancing the shine and longevity of your style. This pair is the ultimate combo for your big-day styling.

  • 3

    The correct way to iron is "Low Temp, Slow Motion"

    Instead of styling quickly at high temperatures, moving the iron slowly in one direction at 180–220°C produces more beautiful curls and better holding power. With well-prepped hair, you can style safely even within this temperature range.

  • 4

    Finish with hair oil

    After styling, work a small amount of KEMA hair oil into the ends and mid-lengths to achieve that "fresh from the salon" wet-look shine. Choose Penta S Oil (¥5,940) for straight styles, or CD Serum (¥4,620) if you want to keep your curls defined. Pick the one that suits your style.
