Should I apply the K18 oil before or after AirWash™ when using the oil as a finisher?
For best results, apply AirWash™ first, then the molecular repair hair oil as a finisher.
Refresh all hair types + textures—without white cast.
Eliminate odor for up to 3 days* with our patented molecule that mimics the strongest odor-detection system in nature.
1. Shake for at least 5 seconds before spraying.
2. Hold the bottle 4-6 inches away from scalp for even distribution on most hair types, closer to 4 inches for coily textures.
3. Section hair and apply just 1 spray per section. Less is more. Add only as needed.
Massage in and brush or style as usual.
4. Put the cap back on when not in use to keep the nozzle protected.
PRO tips:
Non-aerosol format may feel slightly damp but will not disturb your style.
If hair feels gritty or powdery, you may have applied too much product. Brush hair to distribute the product, or reset hair with an in-shower shampoo.
If the bottle's nozzle is clogged, it could be from air exposure or insufficient shaking. Give your bottle a good shake and try again!

I’ve tried them all. k18 is the only one that doesn’t have an overpowering smell, leaves a white cast, or powdery residue. I don’t feel the product building up on my scalp when I use it multiple days in a row. Hooray.

This is literally the best dry shampoo I have ever used. I frequently have oily hair even the day after washing and this formula is great. It sprays on wet and immediately dries. A couple fluffs of the hair and you’re good to go. The smell is amazing and it leaves no white cast like so many others. Your hair will feel soft and refreshed after using!

I really love this dry shampoo! I have tried a lot of different brands and types, and this one has become my -go-to. I haven't noticed any residue on pillows or clothes. Sometimes I notice a white residue in my hair (dark brown) after using, but that's only if I spray too much, or if I don't rub it in enough. If there is any residue, it still doesn't look as noticeable compared to other brands I've used.
A little goes a long way. I feel like a bottle lasts longer than other brands, which is great because it is more pricey, but totally worth it for me. As someone with semi-fine and long 2A hair that gets oily on the scalp but dry on the ends, this is excellent for in-between wash days. This dry shampoo doesn't make my hair feel stiff when I use it, and I am able to run my fingers through my hair/scalp and it feels clean, it doesn't feel like I have a dry shampoo product in my hair. I do think after a few days of using it, it feels more stiff since the product is building up, but it lasts much longer and looks better than any other brand I've used, and still doesn't feel like it creates as much build up as other brands. Also maintains/adds volume, and makes my hair look and feel really good when it's actually dirty! This probably extends my wash days by 1-2 days. Truly the best dry shampoo I've found so far, and I hope they never change the formula.
