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.

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.

    OMG! Holy grail!!

    I can see why this product gets so much praise.

    It’s definitely not an overnight rescue and people must follow the instructions to get the best results.

    I personally use it differently but that’s what works for me.

    I don’t have it on soaking hair but not on damp either I squeeze out the water and that’s it before applying just so I have enough slip to brush it through my hair

    I find this works for me and I can use it easily compared to towel-dampened hair.

    It has a very neutral smell and a little goes a long way - I personally started with 2 pumps per section (divided into 4) and have now reduced to 1 pump per section cuz I don’t feel I need the intensity of the treatment anymore cuz the results have been amazing.

    I wait the 4 mins then I go cover with a conditioner THEN i rinse out and this is my preferred way of using it.

    It takes a couple uses to see the full effect but after the second consecutive use my hair looks so much better. My curls clump better together, they look less limp and frizz has decreased MASSIVELY. my curls are always popping, I will show u some day 5 hair pictures. I’ve had the same styling combo for years but after introducing this product my hair styles last til the next week.

    Noted my hair is VERY limp and brittle at the front, it used to just be straight but now it’s got a little wave :)

    Where was this product all my life !!

    It’s definitely worth the investment and I will continue to rave about this :)

    K18 - unreal !

    From someone who normally uses half a bottle of conditioner on my frizzy dry damaged hair this concept of using such a small amount was crazy . Believe me … this product is amazing and you do only need a tiny bit . Follow the instructions and you will see the results soak for themselves . My hair never has been so good !

    IT’S WORKING!

    My hairdresser always educates and guides me for my hair care and never steers me wrong. Even with heat protection, I fried my hair pretty good, not to mention I moved from CA to CO and it’s very dry here and water is hard. I knew I would need more than three treatments as you will see in the picture, BUT it’s definitely noticeable. I’m still not putting heat to my hair to give it complete restoration. However, this is worth the money because it DEFINITELY is working. Thank you K18!
