KOBO Professional NZ | Official Stockist | Zilion
KOBO Professional in New Zealand
KOBO Professional is a salon haircare brand organised into tight, concern-led lines: Bond Builder and PeptidePro for repair, Damage for dry and brittle lengths, Scalp for oily or thinning hair, Curl for waves and coils, Color for colour-treated hair and Yellow Out for blondes. Each line gives you a shampoo, a conditioner and at least one treatment or finisher that is designed to work with the other two.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of KOBO Professional, with 64 products in the range. Most shampoos and conditioners come in a 320ml bottle and a 750ml salon size, the PeptidePro wash and conditioner go up to 1000ml, and most lines are also sold as 750ml duo packs or duo, trio and quad bundles. If you are after a KOBO stockist in New Zealand that carries the full routine rather than one or two bottles, it is all here in NZ dollars.
About KOBO Professional
The brand's approach is simple: pick your hair concern, then use the matching shampoo, conditioner and treatment together. Prices are kept consistent across the range. The 320ml shampoos and conditioners sit at $29.95 to $35.95, the 750ml bottles at $49.95 to $55.95, and the 750ml duo packs at $79.95, which makes the larger sizes the better buy for anyone who washes often or shares a bathroom.
Two lines focus on the inside of the hair fibre. Bond Builder uses bond-building technology aimed at the disulfide bonds that break during bleaching, colouring and heat styling, while PeptidePro Shielding uses bio-mimetic peptides, short chains of amino acids, to support hair that has been chemically processed or overheated. The Color Locking and Curl Defining formulas are built on low or acidic pH, which keeps the cuticle flat for shine and helps colour hold.
The rest of the range covers everyday needs: a Basic Sulfate Free Shampoo that uses plant-derived cleansers instead of SLS, Man Capital Purifying Shampoo for men who use heavier styling products, and Style Sea Salt Spray for loose, matte texture.

KOBO Professional Shampoo is the biggest group, with washes for every line: Bond Builder Integral, PeptidePro Shielding, Damage Moisture Repair, Scalp Balancing, Scalp Anti-Hair Loss, Curl Defining, Color Locking, Yellow Out Pure Violet, Basic Sulfate Free and Man Capital Purifying.

Benefits of KOBO Professional
- Routines that match. Every line has a shampoo and conditioner designed as a pair, plus a mask, leave-in or oil to finish, so you are not guessing which products work together.
- Repair at two levels. Bond Builder targets broken bonds after chemical work, and PeptidePro uses peptides for hair that needs more intensive support.
- A dedicated scalp line. Scalp Balancing, Scalp Intense Balancing Mask and Scalp Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo treat the scalp as the starting point, which suits oily roots and fine, thinning hair.
- Colour-friendly pH. Color Locking and Curl Defining use acidic or low-pH formulas that keep the cuticle smooth, which helps colour and curl pattern last.
- A sulfate-free option. Basic Sulfate Free Shampoo cleans with plant-derived surfactants instead of SLS.
- Salon sizes at fair prices. 750ml bottles cost $49.95 to $55.95, and 750ml duo packs bring a shampoo and conditioner together for $79.95.
- Something for men. Man Capital Purifying Shampoo is built to clear out pomade, clay and excess oil.
How to Choose the Right KOBO Professional Product
Bleached or heavily lightened hair: start with Bond Builder Integral Shampoo and Resilience Conditioner, and add Boost Treatment once a week. If the hair still feels weak or gummy, step up to PeptidePro Shielding with the Repair Leave-In Mask.
Dry, rough or frizzy lengths: the Damage line is the place to start. Use the Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, the Restorative Mask weekly, and DD Cream or Ultimate Remedy Serum as your finisher.
Oily scalp: Scalp Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner keep roots fresh without drying the ends, and the Scalp Intense Balancing Mask gives a deeper weekly clean.
Fine or thinning hair: Scalp Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo is designed to stimulate the scalp and support fuller-looking hair. It is a cosmetic product, so see your GP about sudden or patchy hair loss.
Curls and waves: Curl Defining Shampoo and Conditioner, then Curl Intense Curl Cream on damp hair for definition.
Colour-treated hair: Color Locking Shampoo and Conditioner, with Color Protective Mist before heat tools.
Blonde, silver or grey hair: Yellow Out Pure Violet Shampoo once or twice a week, alternating with a repair or colour shampoo.
Men's short styles: Man Capital Purifying Shampoo for the wash and Style Sea Salt Spray for matte texture.

KOBO Professional FAQs
What is KOBO Professional?
KOBO Professional is a salon haircare brand with concern-led lines for repair, moisture, scalp care, curls, colour and blonde toning. Each line pairs a shampoo and conditioner with a treatment or finisher.

What is the KOBO Scalp range?
The Scalp range treats the scalp first. It includes Scalp Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner, Scalp Intense Balancing Mask and Scalp Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo.

Curl Defining Shampoo, Curl Defining Conditioner and Curl Intense Curl Cream. The shampoo uses a low-pH, non-stripping base and the cream adds moisture and flexible hold.
Is the Curl Intense Curl Cream crunchy like a gel?
No. It is designed to define waves, curls and coils with a soft, flexible hold rather than a hard gel cast.
Which KOBO products are for coloured hair?
Color Locking Shampoo and Conditioner use an acidic pH to seal the cuticle and help colour last, and Color Protective Mist shields coloured hair from heat and UV.
How hot can I style after using Color Protective Mist?
Color Protective Mist is designed to protect hair from heat styling tools up to 230°C.

How do I use KOBO Bond Builder Boost Treatment?
Use it after shampooing on clean, damp hair, leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse and condition. Once a week suits most lightened or heat-styled hair.
How do I use the PeptidePro Repair Leave-In Mask?
It is a no-rinse treatment. Apply a small amount to towel-dried lengths and ends, comb through and style as usual.
How often should I use the Damage Restorative Hair Mask?
Once or twice a week in place of conditioner suits most dry or damaged hair. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing.
How do I use the Scalp Intense Balancing Mask?
Apply it to the scalp after shampooing, massage gently, leave for a few minutes and rinse well. Use it weekly for an oily or congested scalp.
How should I use Yellow Out Pure Violet Shampoo?
Lather on wet hair, leave it on for a minute or two depending on how much toning you need, then rinse. Use it once or twice a week and your usual shampoo in between.
Can I use KOBO Curl Cream on wet or dry hair?
It works best on clean, damp hair. Scrunch it through, then air dry or diffuse, and use a little on dry hair to refresh curls between washes.
How do I use KOBO DD Cream?
Apply a small amount to towel-dried hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends, comb through and blow-dry or air dry.
When should I use a hair oil or serum?
Use PeptidePro Repair Hair Oil, Bond Builder Damage Control Oil or Ultimate Remedy Serum as the last step, on damp hair before drying or on dry ends for shine.
Can I use Sea Salt Spray on fine hair?
Yes. The light formula adds grip and body to fine, limp hair. Spray through damp hair and scrunch, or mist onto dry hair for extra texture.
Can I mix KOBO lines?
Yes. A common combination is Scalp Balancing Shampoo for oily roots with a Damage or Bond Builder conditioner and mask on the lengths.
Which KOBO line is best for bleached blonde hair?
Bond Builder or PeptidePro for strength, with Yellow Out Pure Violet Shampoo once or twice a week to keep the tone cool.
Which KOBO line suits thick, dry hair?
The Damage line. Pair the Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner with the Restorative Mask and finish with DD Cream.
Which KOBO shampoo is gentlest for everyday use?
Basic Sulfate Free Shampoo is the most straightforward choice for regular washing, especially on coloured or dry hair.
I am new to KOBO. What should I buy first?
Choose the line that matches your main concern and start with its duo bundle, which pairs the shampoo and conditioner. Add the mask or leave-in once you know you like the line.
Is Zilion an official KOBO stockist?
Yes. Zilion is an official NZ stockist of KOBO Professional, and every product we sell is genuine stock.
Does KOBO Professional have a gift set?
The duo, trio and quad bundles make easy gifts because each one is a complete routine for one hair concern. You will find them in our KOBO Professional Gift Sets & Packs collection.
Is the 750ml size better value than 320ml?
Yes. A 320ml shampoo is $29.95 and the 750ml version is $49.95, so the larger bottle costs noticeably less per millilitre.
Do you sell KOBO in large sizes?
Yes. Most KOBO shampoos and conditioners come in 750ml, and PeptidePro Shielding Shampoo and Conditioner come in 1000ml.
