got questions?
Get started here
Yes, it is better to use the full K18 routine for optimal service and molecular repair results.

To achieve the best cumulative results, we recommend using these routines:
when you need to repair damage: detox shampoo + mask
when you need to protect against daily damage: DAMAGE SHIELD shampoo + conditioner
every day: molecular repair hair oil
between wash days: AirWash™ dry shampoo

Before K18 molecular repair mask or oil, our PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo tackles buildup + metals to create the cleanest, healthiest hair canvas. With our molecular repair formulas, you get maximum damage repair plus additional styling benefits with the oil. Use the DAMAGE SHIELD shampoo + conditioner to protect hair from daily damage between K18 mask days—and keep healthy hair going in-between salon appointments. Use AirWash™ dry shampoo to refresh hair between washes with an instant, weightless clean.
No, the detox shampoo will not dry your hair out. This non-stripping formula has a pH of 3.8-4.2 that won’t leave hair over-stripped. In a consumer study, 90%* said hair feels clean without feeling dry. *Disclaimers
The molecular repair hair mask and oil work together to give you the reparative benefits of the K18PEPTIDE™ in both formulas. The oil will add additional frizz-reducing, styling, and heat-protecting properties. You can layer the oil on top of the mask after the 4-minute processing time.
No, the mask will not block the molecular repair hair oil from penetrating. The mask is a highly concentrated treatment without any fillers so it won’t block the oil from penetrating. Like layering different skincare products, the oil can be layered on top of the mask without impacting its performance.
Our biomimetic peptide mimics hair’s natural structure to seamlessly fit in and reconnect broken keratin chains responsible for hair’s core strength and elasticity. As a result of this reconnection it also addresses cleaved disulfide bonds for connection along the Y-axis of hair AND the X-axis or width of hair.

    Results after 1st use and amazed at wash 4

    My colored fine hair became dull and fried at my lengths and ends and oily at my scalp. I’ve balayaged my hair for years am amazed at the improvements K18 is making, I can’t remember my hair being this healthy before! I HIGHLY recommend following Abbey Yung on YouTube who demonstrates how to get the best results - she emulsifies her hands and conditions after, and I’ve been following her method.

    After my First Use

    After the very first use I could see and feel a huge difference in my hair texture. It was super soft, hair shafts were more smooth, plenty of shine, my scalp felt amazingly good, and my hair has been so much easier to manage. I have 3c, 4a, and 4b hair, hopefully after my 6th wash I'll at least have just two types..lol. Thank you K18!!! Oh AND LESS FRIZZ!!!

    Perfect travel size

    I am so pleased with the results of all the K18 products so far, and this little travel kit is just perfect for up to a two week vacation. My hair is softer and shinier. I save K18 for special occasions like vacations and special events because of the cost.
