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 re
Nope. Instead of temporarily restoring just one type of bond, K18’s biomimetic peptide mimics the molecular makeup of keratin to reinforce strength along the length AND width of the hair fiber. Bond builders walked so we could run, ya know?
You should use the K18 mask because we put our hair through a lot. If you’re someone who expresses themselves through their routine, or frequents the salon for bleach + color, chemical services, or heat*, K18 was engineered for you. If you just live

There is no "activating" needed when it comes to K18. Rubbing the molecular repair hair mask in your palms before applying it to your hair helps with product distribution and application. If you are applying the mask onto damp and clean hair all it n
Here’s how to use the K18 mask:1. Shampoo, do not condition. 2. Towel-dry thoroughly. 3. Begin with 1 pump of 50ml mask and add more as needed. Maximum recommended usage is 3 pumps (15ml sized mask = Begin with 3 pumps and add more as needed. Maximum

Less is more, so don’t overdo your K18 mask application. This highly concentrated formula was made to use way less than your traditional hair mask or conditioner. Start with 1 ml (1 pump of the 50ml mask, 3 pumps of the 15ml mask) and massage the pro

No do not use the K18 mask on day 2 hair, it is meant to work on clean, damp hair only.
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.
Think of K18 mask as a highly concentrated treatment. It restores hair’s strength + elasticity at the innermost layers of hair. After shampooing, skip conditioner before applying the K18 mask so it has a clean canvas to penetrate hair at the molecula
Water from damp hair swells the cuticle (the outside layer of hair) to open the gates for our biomimetic peptide to enter and travel to the innermost layers of hair. If the gates aren’t open, the product will stay on the surface—giving you mostly sup
No, we recommend using the K18 mask alone so our biomimetic peptide can penetrate hair without anything in the way. After the 4-minute wait time, you can add any styling products you want.
