What if your style could stretch further—and stay day 1 fresh—without the white cast, starchy buildup, or heavy fragrances that traditional dry shampoos leave behind?
Meet AirWash™ dry shampoo. This new revolutionary, non-aerosol formula is powered by K18’s patented odorBIND™ smart-release biotechnology and scalp-friendly ingredients to deliver a high-performance clean.
Unlike typical dry shampoos, AirWash™ doesn’t mask odors with heavy fragrances or leave starchy buildup on your hair. Instead, it uses our biotechnology—odorBIND™ recognizes, suspends, and eliminates odors on contact*, along with translucent mineral-based microbeads to absorb excess oil without leaving a white cast or starchy residue. It also contains biotech-derived Mediterranean microalgae to help balance scalp sebum and control excess oil production over time.
The best part? It’s clinically proven to keep working for up to 3 days*. This means you can extend your clean hair and style while eliminating common causes of scalp irritation like buildup, excess sebum, and heavy fragrances.
How do you actually use it though? Here’s your step-by-step guide.
how do I use AirWash™ dry shampoo?
Like all of our highly concentrated formulas, AirWash™ was designed to use less while giving you the best possible results—so there’s no need to douse your hair to achieve a high-performance clean. The non-aerosol formula may feel slightly damp at first but don’t worry, it won’t disturb your style.
Start by shaking the bottle well and sectioning out your hair to make it easier to target the areas where it’s needed most.
From there, hold AirWash™ 4-6 inches away from your scalp and start with one to three sprays per section, then build as needed.
Massage in with your fingers or a brush to distribute the product, and style as usual.
PRO tip: if hair feels gritty or dry, you're using too much. brush or reset with shampoo.
how does AirWash™ fit into my routine?
Unlike most of our products (with the exception of molecular repair hair oil which can be used on damp or dry hair) AirWash™ is designed to be used on dry hair only to preserve or reset freshness.
It's fully compatible with all your favorite K18 products, so it fits into any routine.
can I use it on clean hair?
Great question—yes you can. AirWash™ can be applied to clean, dry hair after styling to keep your day 1* hair going. It can also be applied before or after a workout to help control odor, so if you don’t have time for a post-gym wash, there’s no need to worry because AirWash™ has you covered.
Now that we’ve given you the full run-down, are you ready to try our weightless, biotech-powered dry shampoo? Your hair (and scalp!) will thank you.
Get in on the future of clean.
