amika The Kure Intense Strength Repair Mask

By Renata Cole, Lead Beauty Editor||How we test

Ultra-rich weekly repair mask that combines bond-fortifying technology with sea buckthorn, borage oil, shea butter, and mango butter for damaged, high-porosity hair.

amika The Kure Intense Strength Repair Mask is the repair-focused counterpart to the brand's moisture-led Soulfood mask. The rich rinse-out treatment combines bond-fortifying technology with sea buckthorn oil, borage oil, shea butter, and mango butter. Amika positions it for hair weakened by heat, chemical services, and environmental stress, including color-treated strands.

This formula is best matched to dry, damaged, or high-porosity hair that can accommodate a substantial weekly treatment. The brand recommends applying it after shampooing, leaving it on for ten minutes, and rinsing thoroughly. An independent review from BrownStyle reported improved moisture and softness on thick type 4B hair, while also noting that the premium jar can be used quickly on dense hair.

Amazon's public listing uses the title “amika the kure intense strength repair mask” for the selected 250 mL / 8.4 fl oz jar. Gallery context on that listing also identifies it as The Kure Intense Bond Repair Mask, confirming that the strength-repair and bond-repair descriptions refer to the same size and formula rather than different variants.
