ALL ABOUT K18!

1/4/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
The science is complex but here’s everything you need to know about why K18 is a scientific breakthrough—and how it can bring damaged strands back to their original, youthful state.

When hair gets damaged, the polypeptide chains (keratin chains) that make up the inner structure of hair strands become weakened and break. For context, there are billions and billions of keratin chains in a single strand of hair. When these are damaged, hair’s core structure becomes compromised and, as a result, it loses its strength, elasticity, resiliency, and shine.

​By repairing the structural integrity of hair, not just temporarily repairing bonds, K18 renews strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce for hair that looks and feels like it did in its original, undamaged state. Oh, and did we mention…K18 only takes 4 minutes to work. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think!

K18 Retail Mask & Leave In Treatment 15ml

€24.38

K18 Retail Mask 50ml


An at-home, leave-in treatment infused with our that works on a molecular level to repair even the most extreme damage, reversing hair to its most youthful, healthy state—and leaves strands soft, shiny, and strong. Bonus: Concentrated formula ensures a little goes a long way and replaces the need for conditioner.


What it does:

 

Creates hair like new:

Traveling deeper into the inner layers of hair than traditional repair products, our revolutionary patented K18 Peptide™ is just the right size and makeup to fit in and reconnect broken keratin chains. And because our peptide is a bit of an overachiever, as a result of this reconnection, any disturbed disulfide bonds are also re-conformed. K18 doesn’t just hide damage or patch it up, leaving it brittle. It renews hair, leaving strands soft, shiny, and strong.

 

Renews all hair types:

Our unique peptide does more, transforming even the most extreme damage caused by chemical services into stronger, softer, and bouncier hair that looks and feels like it’s original, youthful state. You can feel and see the difference with the first use. Can be used immediately after chemical services to repair damage done during the service, and at home to keep hair in its healthiest, strongest state.

 

 

Lasting results that won’t wash away:

Using biomimetics, the K18 Peptide฀ mimics the natural structure of keratin

building blocks and therefore, is recognized as natural by hair instead of a facilitated bond—so it’s able to integrate itself within the keratin chains to rebuild and restore hair both immediately, and over time.

All this to say, it’s not washed away by water or shampoo like traditional bonding agents, making K18 a genuine and lasting solution for damaged strands.



  1. Shampoo, do not condition (so the mask can penetrate hair more effectively).
  2. Towel dry hair until damp.
  3. Start with one pump and add more as needed,depending on length, thickness, and hair condition. 
  4. The concentrated formula ensures a little goes a long way.
  5. Work evenly into hair, one pump at a time, working from ends to roots. 
  6. Wait 4 minutes for the formula to penetrate. Do not rinse out.
  7. Style as usual.
