Repairs Damage Caused By

  • Bleach + Color
  • Heat
  • Chemical Services
  1. Shampoo, do not condition. Towel-dry thoroughly.
  2. Apply 1-3 pumps of K18 leave-in molecular repair hair mask based on your length and density, starting at the ends and working up towards the roots.
  3. Let sit for 4 minutes. Do not rinse out.
  4. Comb, add product + style as usual. Use for 4-6 washes post-salon service, then as needed.
  • K18PEPTIDE™ is a biotech-developed peptide that mimics hair's structure to reverse damage by reconnecting polypeptide chains and disulfide bonds broken during bleaching, color and chemical services + heat*.

  • pH-optimized (5.0-6.0) to help minimize cuticle swelling + put hair proteins in their most resilient state.

  • Cream format enables easy, lightweight application across all hair types, with detangling and softening benefits.

  • Vegan, color-safe, cruelty-free.

Takes damage repair further – reconnects both polypeptide chains (and as a result, also reconnects disulfide bonds) for strength along the length + width of the hair - offering comprehensive, lasting damage repair.

Restores hair from even extreme damage - by working at the innermost layer of the hair, core strength and elasticity are renewed for strong, smooth, bouncy hair.

Delivers immediate and lasting results – hair is repaired from the first use and lasts past your next wash, for ongoing reparative benefits.

Simplified repair - convenient, leave-in formula works in just 4 minutes, with no extra rinse required.

Works on all hair types – because K18PEPTIDE™ works on a molecular level (where all hair is the same), this product is effective on all hair types.

  • DO clarify before K18 if you’re a heavy product user (demineralize for mineral + metal buildup).
  • DO apply on clean, damp hair.
  • DO wait the full 4 minutes before combing or styling.
  • DO add whatever styling products you love after the 4 minutes.
  • DO use for 4-6 shampoos consecutively for progressive results.
  • DON'T use conditioner before applying K18 Mask (you can apply after the 4 min but most find they don’t need it).
  • DON'T overdo it—less is more.
  • DON'T rinse it out.

The K18 mask works as a treatment to reverse damage in 4 minutes. It’s powered by our biomimetic K18PEPTIDE™ to seamlessly fit in and reconnect broken polypeptide chains at the molecular level. As a result, disulfide bonds are also reconnected for reinforced strength along the length + width of hair—offering comprehensive, lasting, and progressive repair.

*Disclaimers
Conditioner leaves a film that blocks our peptide from penetrating effectively. Once the 4-minute wait time is up, feel free to use a conditioner, a leave-in, or any type of product.
We like to keep our formulas minimal, only using the exact amount of ingredients needed to get the peptide where it needs to go. Here the alcohol serves as an agent to optimize the hair environment for the K18 mask to work on a deeper level. Our unique blend of 3 alcohols functions to open the hair cuticle so the K18PEPTIDE™ can penetrate the innermost layer of hair, reaching the broken polypeptide chains (keratin chains).
Most see results after 2-3 uses. The more damaged the hair, the more dramatic the results so it may vary depending on your hair type and level of damage.

powered by K18PEPTIDE™

Biomimetic peptide clicks into hair’s keratin structure—the source of core strength—for soft, shiny, bouncy results that won’t wash away.

    Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask Deluxe Sample
    Rated 3 out of 5 stars

    Nice but small

    I purchased the full-size mask and also received a deluxe sample of the Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask. Because I own the full size, I can say that the product does help — I do see positive results in my hair. It feels smoother and healthier with consistent use.

    That said, the sample itself is only enough for one application, so if someone is trying it for the first time, one use is really not enough to decide whether it’s a must-have or not.

    My main concern is the value. The mask works nicely, but it gets used up very quickly. Realistically, you need at least three pumps per use, and the bottle is only 100 ml, so it doesn’t last long.

    It’s also frustrating that larger, more affordable sizes are only available to licensed hairdressers. As a regular customer, you’re stuck paying the premium price, which honestly feels limiting and a bit unfair.

    Overall, it’s a good product with visible benefits, but I’m still unsure if it’s truly worth the price for the amount you get.

    Thank you so much for your detailed and honest feedback — we truly appreciate you sharing your experience. We’re so glad to hear you’re seeing smoother, healthier results with consistent use. That’s exactly what we hope for.
    With K18, less really is more. Because the formula is highly concentrated, most clients only need 1–3 pumps total, depending on hair length, thickness, and density. For many hair types, starting with 1 pump and adding more only if needed is key. Using more than necessary won’t improve results and can cause you to go through the product more quickly than intended. We also understand your concerns about value and sizing. We truly appreciate your perspective and your continued support. If you’d ever like personalized guidance on usage amounts based on your specific hair type, we’re happy to help.
