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.

    Hair Transformation

    I started using this product over a year ago. My hair was brittle and breaking off like dog hair every day. My hair has transformed and the healthiest it’s ever been in my adult life. Follow the directions and don’t over is the product. I also use the heat protection from this line too when I chose to put heat to my hair and it’s made a difference too.

    This has transformed my hair

    I get bleach highlights every 6 weeks. I take really good care of my hair but there's only so much you can do when you bleach your hair. Ive been using this only 2 weeks and I got my hair done yesterday. My stylist was SO impressed with how healthy my hair is. She asked what I've been using and I told her! She told me she loves k18 as well!!

    Peptide Prep

    The K18 Peptide Prep line is designed to deeply cleanse without stripping, and it genuinely delivers on that promise. Both formulas leave the hair feeling clean, light, and balanced — the kind of “reset” that makes styling easier and helps other products work better.
