How is FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum different from traditional anti-gray and hair growth serums?
Premature hair aging is a multifaceted problem caused by several biological mechanisms happening at once. Pigment cells are slowing down, follicle anchorage is weakening, and oxidative stress is accelerating it all. A single-target solution may only address one of these symptoms or temporarily mask the visible presentation of them. By targeting key biological pathways associated with visible signs of premature hair aging like oxidative stress, hair shedding, and hair graying with targeted multi-pathway technology, FutureIQ™ serum addresses the full picture of what's actually driving the visible changes.
Does FutureIQ™ work for everyone?
FutureIQ™ is specifically designed for anyone experiencing signs of premature hair and scalp aging. It works best for those with less than 30% gray and minimal to moderate hair shedding.
I’m on GLP-1 and my hair is falling out like crazy. Will this help?
Rapid weight loss is often associated with increased hair shedding and visible changes in hair density. FutureIQ™ was not developed to treat GLP-1 side effects, medication-related shedding, or medical hair-loss conditions. FutureIQ™ is a cosmetic product designed to support scalp condition and fuller-looking, healthier-feeling hair during periods when those may notice changes in hair quality, density, or resilience. If shedding is sudden, severe, or persistent, consult your doctor or dermatologist.
Can this be used on a wet or dry scalp? Will there be a difference in results?
FutureIQ™ can be used on both wet and dry scalp. There is no difference in results if used wet versus dry.
Will FutureIQ affect silk presses, blowouts, or other non-chemically straightened styles?
As this is a water-based serum, it may revert hair textures that have been straightened. If this is a concern, spot treatment around hairline and edges is recommended vs full head application.

"K18 is known for its biology-first approach. Everyone knows that we repair hair fiber. But we've actually been doing scalp research for several years now, and that research is finally getting into the consumer's hands so we can fight premature aging at the root."

"As a board-certified dermatologist, I'm always looking for products that are backed by science and address the underlying causes of hair concerns rather than simply masking them. FutureIQ™ stands out because it takes a scalp-first approach while leveraging K18's peptide technology to support long-term hair and scalp health. I've been impressed by its focus on creating an environment that supports healthier-looking, fuller hair over time, while still being lightweight enough for everyday use."

"Your scalp is skin. Full stop. It ages that same way, it responds to the same biological signals, and it has been completely ignored by the industry until now. FutureIQ™ brings the same preventative thinking to hair that we have always applied to the face. That is long overdue."

- Thavery N.Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoInsane Follicular Density & Complete Perimenopause Scalp Reset!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Truly transformative for perimenopause scalp changes & insane regrowth!
Switching to the K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo and FutureIQ Scalp Serum has been a total game-changer. The hot flashes from perimenopause were leaving dried sweat salts and buildup that made my scalp feel suffocated, parched, and constantly tight.
The Detox gently dissolves all that dried residue without stripping my barrier, and the serum provides pure, weightless hydration directly to the skin bed 🫧
The regrowth spurt has been unreal. The density at the follicle level is wild!! So many thick, strong new strands poking through all across my crown and down to the nape of my neck 🌱✨ My scalp can finally breathe again and feels completely calm and weightless 🪶 10/10 worth every single penny!

- Shannon W.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoAmazing
My hair has really improved in the 2 months I have been using this product. It is super easy to use, not greasy or heavy on my fine hair. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants a healthy scalp and fuller hair. As we all age, our hair starts to thin out. And our lifestyle habits can influence it too, stress, weight loss, too little shampooing, too much shampooing....lol this product it is a game changer. Also on a side note, I did not buy this to use to combat grey hair growth. I love my natural hair. I did it to combat thinning. But i do see some brown hairs growing back. Not all of them growing are brown. I am ok with that, as it wasnt my goal. But thrilled with the actual overall progress. My first picture is from Sept 8th. The 2nd picture is from today. The 3rd picture is from today(just to show all the new baby hairs in my temple area.

- JessicaVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoI can see the difference!
I’ve been testing the K18 FutureIQ for three months, and I’m pretty happy with the results. My hair journey began two years ago after experiencing postpartum hair loss. I noticed my hair was thinner, I was shedding a lot, and the top area had a lot of breakage. I’m very consistent with using hair products, so I was excited to test the K18 serum! The formula isn’t too runny or too thick. The dropper makes it easy to dispense the product without it spilling or making a mess. It’s easy to apply and absorbs nicely into my scalp. My scalp doesn’t get irritated by the serum, and I haven’t experienced any bad reactions. After three months, I’ve noticed that my hair feels thicker when I gather it in my hand and when I tie it up. When I brush or wash my hair, I’ve also noticed less hair shedding. I do have greys, and during the first few weeks, I didn’t notice any changes. Around the eighth week, I noticed that my greys didn’t seem to appear as quickly. I still had the same greys I started with, but I didn’t notice as many new ones appearing. Overall, I’m happy with this product because my scalp and hair feel healthier, my hair is a bit thicker, and I’ve seen less greys. They are still there but I haven’t seen as many. I received this product as a testing opportunity from Gloss Angeles Confidential.

- Dianne T.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoThicker hair and a healthy scalp
I am someone who often has an itchy scalp, and it can be very annoying. Now that I am almost 40, I notice shedding that is slowly getting worse. I am very impressed after using the product. I see less than 10 hair strands coming out in the shower, when before I was seeing over 20 come out with every wash. My scalp has not been itching! My hair looks fuller overall (more volume all throughout). My husband has told me a few times in the last two months that my hair looks great. He asked if I had gotten a new haircut or style to make it look bouncy. In reality, it is more volume! I'm surprised a topical product can give pretty visible results. It is easy to put on the scalp and has a nice dropper. It isn't sticky and doesn't make hair greasy.
I was gifted this product through Gloss Angeles Confidential, but I plan on purchasing it.
