K18 Professional Molecular Repair Hair Mist

Product Information

Towel dry hair, 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, and level of damage.

Before the service, apply K18 professional molecular repair hair mist. Wait 4 minutes. Do not rinse out. This leave-in treatment mask repairs hair damage and restores hair to a healthy state after salon services. Powered by the K18PEPTIDE™ to reconnect broken polypeptide chains and disulfide bonds to renew strength and elasticity in just 4 minutes. This mask is clinically proven to repair damage from bleach* + color*, chemical services*, and heat* for immediate + lasting results. K18 Mask is a post-service treatment that repairs damage caused during any salon service, and with a pH level of 5.0-6.0, helps to close the cuticle and seal in the peptide, with added lightweight conditioning benefits to keep hair smooth and soft. 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. Apply 1-3 drops of K18 molecular repair hair oil to mid-lengths and ends on dry hair as a finisher.

K18 is most effective on clean, towel dried hair. Conditioner formulas use silicones and conditioning agents that form heavy coatings on hair that prevent K18 Peptide from penetrating to the broken disulfide bonds within the cortex. You may use conditioner after K18 has processed for 4 minutes if needed, not before.Ten years of bioscience research went into the creation of the patented K18 peptide, including scanning and analyzing 1,242 decapeptides. In plain English—this is serious science.

No, K18’s strengthening and smoothing results are clinically proven to remain in hair, even after repeated shampoos. We recommend applying K18 to clean hair as products can include oils, silicones, and film formers which will act as a barrier and can alter the efficacy of the product. In severe cases of product buildup, it may be necessary to use a clarifying or detoxifying shampoo for best results so that K18 may penetrate into the cortex. Is K18 applied to dry or damp hair?

When bond builders were invented in the mid 2010s, the beauty industry saw the creation of an entirely new category of products that transformed color services and made possible the ultra-platinum trends we see today. Something this transformative to the pro beauty world only happens once in a lifetime…or does it? No, the formula is lightweight and works from within the hair so hair is left feeling clean and light.
