What is K18?

A bioactive, 2-step in-salon service infused with our patented K18Peptide, clinically proven to repair hair damage and renew strands for the strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce of hair like new.

Reverse hair damage?! Here's how it works.

One unique sequence that was just the right size and molecular structure to reconnect broken polypeptide chains. Bioactive peptide mimics the natural structure of keratin building blocks so it is recognized as natural by the hair.

K18 repairs disulfide bonds along the horizontal x-axis of hair - also reconnects broken polypeptide chains along the vertical y-axis of the hair.

Biomimetics is the practice of learning from and mimicking nature.

Bioactive peptide does this, mimicking the natural structure of keratin building blocks so it is recognized as natural by the hair.

How do the products work?

Professional mist

Pre-service treatment that strengthens hair before a chemical service.

The pH level of 7.5-8.0 shifts the cuticle layer so the peptide can penetrate hair’s inner cortex and hone in on damaged sites.

Professional mask

Post-service treatment that repairs damage caused during any salon service.

With a pH level of 5.0-6.0, the formula helps to close the cuticle and seal in the peptide to repair broken keratin chains.

How many times do you have to get this service done?

One treatment - hair restored to 91% original strength / 94% original elasticity

Damage is ongoing, so the use of K18 should be too. As for the leave-in, K18 is a progressive treatment that delivers better results the more you use it.

Can you get this treatment done with other services?

Absolutely!

K18 in-salon treatment can be combined with any service. Additionally, it is beneficial to integrate with colour services because the treatment provides longevity for the colour.

Is there home care after the treatment?
