K18 Leave-In Hair Repair Mask, 50ml

Product Information

I always worry that my hair will feel greasy after using moisturizing products/treatments, but this dries naturally and doesn’t leave any residue. I would say that maybe my hair is too damaged for this to repair, as I did notice it felt softer, but there definitely are still a lot of split ends in there.

K18 is suitable for use on all human hair extensions (to include tape-in, k-tip, hand tied, clip-in, sew-in, etc.). For information on using K18 on clients with previously installed extensions, please follow the instructions for the specific service being performed.Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse out) and if needed, dry the hair prior to beginning relaxer application. In comparison, Olaplex uses patented Olaplex Bond Building Technology ™, that rebuilds broken disulfide bonds to restore strength. The brand's popular weekly pre-shampoo treatment repairs and prevents damage, whereas the K18 mask works to restore your hair to its previous state. Wait 4 minutes after chelating** (do not rinse out), then apply a minimum of 10 full sprays of K18 professional molecular repair hair mist to each quadrant, increasing up to 20 sprays per quadrant as needed, depending on client’s length, density, or level of damage.

Wait 4 minutes, then apply 1-3 pumps of K18 professional molecular repair hair mask based on your client’s length and density, starting at the ends and working up towards the roots. Strengthen your hair and improve elasticity whilst reversing the damage caused by chemical treatments, mechanical styling, and heat styling. This leave-in treatment takes just 4 minutes to reverse hair damage by harnessing the power of the K18PEPTIDE™. Working at the innermost layer of your hair, the K18PEPTIDE™ reconnects the polypeptide chains and disulfide bonds that are broken because of chemical services, heat damage, and bleaching services. The peptide helps to renew strength and elasticity, giving you healthier, bouncy hair – even in cases of severe damage. My hair has been dehydrated with the sun and heat damage of summer, so this was perfect timing to try K18. It was not time-consuming. I used it every time I washed my hair for two weeks, and used about 3-4 pumps each time because of my long hair. I thought using it every time I washed my hair might be overkill, but for how coarse my hair is, it works perfectly . My daily haircare routine consists of a cold shower and letting my hair air dry. That’s it! I’m a big believer in air drying so that your hair curls naturally. I’ll use Moroccan oil shampoo and conditioner three times a week, but I can’t shampoo any more than that, otherwise my hair will become super dry. I’m really a less-is-more kind of hair guy, so it’s safe to say I’ve never done anything like the K18 treatment before.If toning, use K18 PRO mist first, wait 4 minutes, then apply toner directly over PRO mist. Process as usual. Rinse or shampoo toner + apply K18 PRO mask per instructions above.

Wait 4 minutes after chelating**, then rinse and shampoo with K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo. Do not condition. Apply a minimum of 10 full sprays of K18 professional molecular repair hair mist per quadrant, increasing up to 20 sprays as needed, depending on client’s length, density, or level of damage. Ensure to clarify your hair before using the mask by using K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ Detox Shampoo. Use for 4-6 shampoos in a row for progressive results.Apply 1-3 drops of K18 molecular repair hair oil to mid-lengths and ends on dry hair as a finisher. It's worth noting that the brand recommends working it into the hair from the ends to the roots, however I did actually avoid the roots at first as I was worried about them looking (and feeling) greasy. For cases of extreme metal + mineral buildup, process up to 10 minutes, then proceed with the instructions. I have used it multiple times since trying it the first time, so yes! I now use it at least once every two weeks. Hannah Westbrook, Assistant Visuals Editor Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse out). Then follow with the recommended shampoo per your keratin straightener service instructions.
