¿Qué envejece el pelo?
K18PEPTIDE™ repara el cabello a nivel molecular a través de múltiples tipos de enlaces, incluidas cadenas polipeptídicas y enlaces disulfuro, para revertir el daño causado por decolorantes, tintes, tratamientos químicos y el calor*. Desarrollado mediante biotecnología, el K18PEPTIDE™ está optimizado para la biología humana, se adapta de forma exclusiva y se integra a la estructura de queratina del cabello, volviendo a unir los sitios dañados a nivel molecular y ofrece una reparación duradera para todos los tipos de cabello, recuperando su fuerza y elasticidad.
Este péptido se diseñó según nuestra filosofía de formulación menos es más para simplificar y reducir al mínimo los pasos de la rutina capilar. Esta molécula biomimética sentó las bases de nuestro enfoque de cuidado capilar centrado en la biología y funciona en solo cuatro minutos, sin pasos adicionales, y sus resultados se aprecian desde la primera aplicación. Para uso en salón, puedes encontrarlo en el servicio K18REPAIR™ (máscara capilar de reparación molecular profesional K18 y bruma capilar de reparación molecular PRO), y para uso en casa, en la máscara capilar de reparación molecular y el aceite capilar de reparación molecular.

Genetics certainly play a role, but oxidative stress is a key factor in premature hair aging, which often shows up as:
increased shedding | early graying | scalp aging
In order to address all of these at once, we set out to create something that works beneath the surface of the scalp, something that works with your biology rather than against it.
FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum is not just a product. It’s a whole new category of hair + scalp longevity.
trusted by scientists + experts
"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."
senior scientist at K18 + expert in scalp and hair follicle biology
"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."
board certified medical & cosmetic dermatologist
"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."

"As a dermatologist, I love that FutureIQ™ takes a longevity approach to hair by focusing on the scalp and hair follicle. It's designed to support healthier, fuller-looking hair while also addressing concerns like thinning, graying, and scalp aging."

three pathways.
one biological system.
Patent Pending MultiVital™ is a precision-engineered system that works synergistically across multiple pathways to reduce graying, reduce shedding, and protect scalp longevity. Follicle health, melanin production, and scalp barrier health share an interconnected biological environment in which the condition of one influences the others.
MultiVital™’s biomimetic peptides, root anchoring complex, and antioxidant system activate together to help reduce the breakdown of root proteins that hold hair in place, help support the signaling involved in melanin synthesis and transport, and amplify the follicle’s natural defenses against oxidative stress to help protect the scalp. As a result, the appearance of grays is delayed, shedding is reduced, and the scalp looks and feels healthy.

First, let’s talk follicles.
Follicles are where hair fibers are made—they’re mini-organisms that assemble, anchor, and add pigment into every hair fiber.
As we get older, our follicles change.
With frequent or chronic exposure to oxidative stress, follicles can shift out of their active growth phase (anagen) earlier than they should and move into the regression (catagen) then shedding (telogen) phase.
The solution?
FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum.
You'll notice less shedding, fewer grays, a thicker ponytail, and a scalp that feels more balanced.
With nightly use, FutureIQ™ can start reversing hair age in 3 months for hair that feels like you.

the FutureIQ™ difference
your FutureIQ™ questions, answered
What is FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum?
FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum is designed to address visible signs of premature hair aging, including shedding, early graying, lower density, and scalp aging. It is a lightweight, water-based hair and scalp serum—not a medical hair-loss treatment.
What is premature hair aging?
Premature hair aging refers to visible hair and scalp changes that appear earlier than expected, such as increased shedding, early grays, lower density, and signs of scalp aging. These are driven by a combination of factors, including environmental stressors such as UV exposure, pollution, and blue light, as well as emotional stress, hormonal changes, chemical exposure, and lifestyle habits. Together, these influences can accelerate aging in both the hair and surrounding cells by increasing oxidative stress at the cellular level.
What signs of premature hair aging does FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum target?
FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum targets visible signs associated with premature hair aging, including reduced hair fall or shedding, fewer visible grays, improved visible density, and scalp barrier support. The product is designed for people noticing early changes rather than severe or sudden hair loss.
Who is FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum best suited for?
FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum is best suited for people experiencing early visible signs of hair and scalp aging, especially those with less than 30% gray and minimal to moderate shedding. Sudden, patchy, or severe hair loss should be discussed with a dermatologist.
What kind of hair types does FutureIQ™ biomimetic hair longevity serum work for?
FutureIQ™ serum works on all hair types + textures, including straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair, experiencing signs of premature hair and scalp aging.
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.
