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.

*k18hair.com/disclaimers

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’s path. Like layering different skincare products, the oil can be layered on top of the mask without impacting its performance—in fact, they work even better when used together.

No, the formula of the DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo is not different from the PEPTIDE PREP® pH maintenance shampoo. Just the name has changed, the formulation you know and love is the same.

No, the conditioner does not repair damage like the mask does. This nourishing, protective conditioner shields against 3 types of damage (daily mechanical, UV, and environmental) for up to 3 days*— to help maintain hair health and improve smoothness and shine. Both formulas include the K18PEPTIDE™ with different benefits.

The mask has a higher concentration of the peptide to reverse damage. In the conditioner, the K18PEPTIDE™ replenishes protein lost during washing, while the cuticle is still swollen, to fortify hair health and strength. To get damage repair benefits from the K18PEPTIDE™, use the K18 mask first, wait 4 minutes, then apply the K18 conditioner.

*k18hair.com/disclaimers

For best results, we do not recommend mixing the K18 conditioner with the oil. Use the K18 molecular repair hair oil after the K18 conditioner.

For maximum damage repair benefits from the molecular repair hair oil, we recommend using it without conditioner.

Back to Life

I started using K18 repair and protect set two weeks ago. I had some heat damage and a lot of split ends. So far I'm seeing great improvement, my hair looks and feels healthier. I'm having less hair breakage and my hair feels more elastic. I'm very happy with the results!
