TikTok is always trying to make it seem like you’ll be missing out on life if you don’t try every trending product, most of which don’t do much good. But every so often a real hair product develops the kind of loyal, underground following that has stylists chatting about it after work and patients booking appointments just to try it. Milbon is that kind of product.
Chances are, you’ve heard one of our stylists at Blonde Faith Salon rave about that just-left-the-salon feeling that somehow lasts for weeks, and now you want to know what the fuss is about. We’ll give you the inside scoop on this Japanese hair care line that’s been around since 1965 and how our Milbon-trained stylists turn a regular wash day into your hair's happy place.
What Is Milbon?
Milbon is a professional-only Japanese hair care brand. It has patented SSVR-Silk technology, a silk-based complex that targets the tiny, hollow gaps left behind in damaged strands. One of the star ingredients is isostearoyl hydrolyzed silk, which teams up with amino acids and moisture-binding conditioners to rebuild your hair from the inside out.
The Japanese Hair Care Philosophy Behind Milbon
There is a reason that Japanese hair care has such an amazing reputation. The makers of Milbon care have respect for the health of your hair instead of just trying to make a few bucks with ingredients that make your hair look good, but damage it in the long-term. Bad ingredients like silicones and harsh alcohols are famous for giving you instant shine and long-term damage. These are all ingredients left out of Milbon. Milbon has the same mindset of helping others that we have at Blonde Faith, which is why it was love at first blowout.
Precision
If there was a one-size-fits-all hair care product, we would’ve found it by now. Instead, we have to take a more precise approach and find the products that suit each person’s hair type. Your fine, color-treated hair needs a completely different product from your friend’s thick, frizz-prone waves. When we customize your treatment, you’ll get a formula chosen specifically for you.
Science-Rooted Formulas
We’re a little obsessed with the science of hair, and Milbon is too. Their products are backed by research into how the hair behaves. They have studied the structure of the hair fiber and how ingredients can best penetrate the hair so they aren’t just coating the strand with a thick layer of gunk that you’ll have to get off later.
Legacy Brand Built on Trust
Milbon has spent years building trust with professional stylists who put it to the test day after day and hang their reputation on it. We only bring the best onto our treatment menu because we care about the type of quality we bring to our community.
What Happens During a Milbon Treatment?
Consultation
We love a good chat! We’ll talk about the latest gossip, and also take a good look at your hair and styling habits to see what your strands are craving. By the time we’re done, we’ll have matched you with the right signature formula. Make sure to bring any burning questions you have along with you.
Application
Next comes the pampering. Your stylist will layer the product through your hair, making sure every strand gets the treatment it deserves. All you have to do is sit back and relax while the formula does its thing. This is the part where you can close your eyes and forget that your to-do list even exists.
Take-Home Booster System
Our stand-alone Milbon treatments come with a take-home weekly condition booster system so you can keep the magic going between visits. This is your personal maintenance kit and is a big reason Milbon treatments are so long-lasting.
The Four Signature Milbon Treatments at Blonde Faith
- Anti Frizz: Perfect for the humidity-battling crowd, this one smooths and calms so your hair stops puffing up the second you step outside.
- Moisture: If your strands feel parched and a little crunchy, this treatment floods them with the hydration they have been missing.
- Reawaken: For hair that looks dull, flat and generally over it, this option refreshes your strands and brings back that lively bounce.
- Repair and Smooth: Made for hair worn down by heat, color and daily styling, this treatment helps rebuild and smooth so your strands feel resilient again.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Milbon Treatment?
Pretty much anyone can be a good candidate for a Milbon treatment. If your hair could use a little extra love, there’s probably a formula with your name on it. It’s especially good for:
Color Treated Hair
Coloring is a joy, but it can leave strands a bit fragile. If you keep up with hair coloring or fresh balayage, a Milbon treatment helps replenish what processing takes out and keeps your color looking its best.
Heat-Styled Hair
Blow dryers, curling irons and straighteners are style essentials, and they also add up over time. If your daily routine involves a lot of heat, this is a lovely way to give your strands some backup and keep them feeling strong.
Humidity Prone Hair
Texas weather has opinions about your hair. If Austin humidity turns your smooth style into a frizz situation before you even reach the car, the Anti Frizz treatment was practically made for you.
What Milbon Products Do You Carry?
In addition to our professional Milbon treatments, we also carry the full line of retail haircare products. You can finally get the routine you always wished for at home, with gentle cleansing products, indulgent hydration, products made specifically for colored hair and treatments for every hair challenge you might face. You can work with your stylist to find the right products for your hair type.
How to Use Milbon
You can book Milbon as a stand-alone signature treatment that includes a blowout, giving you a full pampering session plus your take-home booster system. You can also tack the treatment onto another service, like a haircut or color, to give your hair an extra dose of nourishment. Not sure which one’s right for you? We’ll be happy to help you decide!
