Plus, a full stylist-approved routine for maximum bounce.
Think volume sprays can’t work for curly hair? Think again. AstroLift™ reparative volume spray delivers weightless bounce for every client. The lightweight, non-aerosol formula is completely buildable and crunch-free for healthier curls with fewer washes.
“AstroLift™ is truly a game changer for curly hair types,” says Alifia Young, K18’s Senior Manager of Global Training + Capabilities. “Curlies often stay away from aerosol because of how it makes hair feel so dry and brittle. Another great thing about AstroLift™ is that it doesn't leave behind residue, which can make it feel like you have to reset your hair with a wash.”
The hair fiber thickening, non-sticky blend helps hair look and feel fuller, delivering flexible volume for up to 2 days*. That means you can boost volume and refresh your style as often as you’d like, without needing to step in the shower afterwards.
“It’s such a great tool to instantly refresh curly hair,” says Young. “If you apply and use the blow dryer to fluff it, you can get some really great volume.”
touchable volume no matter how you style
AstroLift™ isn’t heat activated, which means it works equally as well on damp hair as with heat styling. Young uses it on her curly hair clients in different ways depending on their styling preferences.
For the people that like to wear their hair in its curly state she says, “I apply AstroLift™ to damp hair before I diffuse so it kind of builds the volume in. Then once the hair is dry, I take spray AstroLift™ again and fluff it with the blow dryer, so building even more volume.”
For those doing a thermal smoothing or a silk press, Young says, ”I use AstroLift™ on damp hair and blow dry it in before I do the flat iron work. This helps to build extra volume for clients with really fine hair.”
Clients can replicate these approaches at home depending on how they style their hair.
weightless lift that lasts—even in humidity
Curly hair types know that humidity can be a style-ruiner, whether it’s deflating volume or untamable frizz. AstroLift™ is humidity-resistant for hair that never falls flat, no matter the weather.
“For curlies who do blowouts or wear silk presses, the anti-humidity piece is so important because that's the thing that can really kind of annihilate those styles and lead to puffy hair or curl reversion,” Young says.
Even for those who wear their hair curly, “AstroLift™ creates volume without frizz, because you're protecting from the humidity,” she says. “You don't have to compromise.”
ready to add AstroLift™ to your routine?
Get maximum bounce from this K18PEPTIDE™-powered trio that builds volume from the beginning to the end of their routine. “You eliminate buildup, repair without compromising volume, and then build in touchable volume,” Young explains.
1. cleanse with detox shampoo
“First, use the detox shampoo to eliminate any oil or buildup, especially if they only shampoo once every two weeks,” Young recommends. This will create a clean base for the K18PEPTIDE™ to work deep within hair to reverse bounce-depleting damage.
2. once weekly, repair with the leave-in mask
“After rinsing the shampoo, apply the K18 leave-in molecular repair hair mask and leave it on for 4 minutes,” says Young. “This will reverse damage, and the leave-in format mask is particularly great for curly hair because it's so lightweight, it won't weigh it down.”
3. style with AstroLift™ as often as desired
“After that, they can go right into using AstroLift™,” Young says. “They can either diffuse it or they can blow dry it in.”
