Cocochoco Onyx is an advanced hair treatment designed to deeply nourish, repair, and strengthen hair. It is based on a Glyoxylic Complex, which modifies the hair’s keratin structure to smooth and straighten hair effectively. The formula is free from harsh chemicals like formaldehyde, making it a safe and effective solution for smoother, healthier-looking hair.
Cocochoco Onyx is suitable for all hair types, including curly, wavy, straight, and color-treated hair. It can be used on virgin hair, colored hair, and even on African American hair textures. It’s especially beneficial for damaged, dry, or frizzy hair in need of deep hydration and restoration.
Cocochoco Onyx helps:
Cocochoco Original, Gold, and Pure are traditional keratin treatments designed to straighten and smooth the hair while deeply repairing and adding shine. Keratin works by creating a lamination on the outer layer of the hair. Cocochoco Onyx, on the other hand, is a new-generation treatment based on a Glyoxylic Complex. It modifies the hair’s keratin structure to achieve smoothness and manageability. Onyx focuses more on deep repair, nourishment, and maintaining natural movement, while still reducing frizz and enhancing shine. This makes it a gentler and more versatile option suitable for all hair types.
Results typically last between 3 to 6 Months, depending on your hair type and maintenance routine. Using Cocochoco's sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners can help extend the benefits.
Cocochoco Onyx is designed to smooth and repair hair, reducing frizz and improving texture. Depending on the application process, amount of passes, temperature used on the straightener, etc, it can provide long lasting straight hair effects, but it is primarily concerned with improving the condition and manageability.
Yes! Cocochoco Onyx is developed with a gentle, innovative formula that makes it suitable for use during pregnancy. As with any cosmetic treatment, we always recommend consulting a doctor before use. We recommend Cocochoco Onyx only from the age of 12 and above, as younger children’s hair and scalp can be more sensitive. In all cases, parental consent and consultation with a doctor are advised before application.
Yes, Cocochoco Onyx is safe for color-treated hair. For the best results, we recommend coloring the hair after the Onyx application, ideally after 3–4 washes, so that any remaining product residues have been washed away to allow for the colour to better penetrate the hair. This helps achieve optimal hair health and ensures better, longer-lasting color results.
To keep your hair looking its best, use Cocochoco's sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner range, avoid excessive heat styling, and incorporate a deep-conditioning mask into your routine. For blonde and bleached hair, we recommend using the Cocochoco Anti Yellow Mask regularly after the application to help maintain a bright, fresh tone and reduce yellowing.
Yes! Cocochoco Onyx is perfect for virgin hair as it helps enhance natural shine, strengthen strands, and improve manageability without altering the natural hair structure.
If the hair is severely/heavily damaged due to bleaching, excessive lightening, or other harsh chemical treatments, the procedure is not recommended, as the hair may not withstand the level of heat or the number of passes required to activate the product. It is not the product itself that may cause further damage, but rather the application process. However, Cocochoco Onyx is specifically designed to restore and strengthen compromised hair, including highlighted hair. Its advanced formula helps repair split ends, strengthen hair, reduce breakage, deeply nourish strands, and improve overall shine and resilience. It also helps restore moisture and reduce frizz. For highlighted hair, we recommend applying the treatment at least a few days before or after highlighting to maintain hair health and vibrancy - it is not recommended to do a bleach or color service on the same day as Onyx.
Yes, Cocochoco Onyx may slightly lighten the hair by up to half a tone, especially on color-treated hair. This is a normal effect caused by the smoothing and nourishing ingredients in the formula which are of an acidic pH. To help prevent unwanted lightening, we recommend doing the treatment with a professional hairdresser and using the Cocochoco Anti Yellow Hair Mask immediately after the treatment and regularly afterward to maintain a balanced, vibrant tone. The Cocochoco Colour Protect shampoo & conditioner can also be incorporated into your routine to ensure best colour maintenance. Colour can also be re-done if needed after at least 3-4 washes of the hair.
Yes, Cocochoco Onyx can be applied to hair extensions, as long as they are made from natural, human hair. For best results, we recommend treating the extensions before attaching them to your own hair. We also recommend to always treat extensions and your own hair separately, and allow the hair to be washed at least once before refitting extensions.
Yes! You can definitely enjoy swimming in the pool or the sea after the treatment. It does not harm or affect the results of the treatment in any way.
Cocochoco Onyx is officially classified as a mineral treatment. However, based on its ingredient profile, it sits somewhere between nanoplasty and mineral therapy. It offers both internal hair restructuring and deep nourishment, but with a gentler, more cosmetic effect than traditional nanoplasty treatments.
Yes, all the ingredients in Cocochoco Onyx are plant-based, making it a vegan-friendly hair treatment.
