When Should I Use K18 Conditioner vs. Mask?

Get the guide to repairing and protecting every client’s hair.

Creating biotech-powered products is in our DNA, as is listening to the requests from stylists like you. We saw our PRO community using conditioner for softness or detangling benefits right after washing, but noticed how traditional conditioners don’t address ongoing damage from pollution, environmental damage, and the damage caused by mechanical styling. So, we developed with biotech to change the conditioner game. 

When Should I Use K18 Conditioner vs. Mask?

Meet the breakthrough DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner, designed to protect from damage and maintain hair health in-salon and at home. In the salon, DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner can be used for added smoothness, softness + detangling after the K18 professional molecular repair hair mask. Yup, you can use both in your services! Here’s how:


  1. Shampoo, do not condition.
  2. Towel-dry thoroughly.
  3. Apply 1-3 pumps of the professional molecular repair hair mask.
  4. Wait 4 minutes. Do not rinse out.
  5. Apply a small amount of DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. Build as needed.
  6. Rinse thoroughly.
  7. You do not need to re-apply the professional molecular repair hair mask.

These two biotech breakthroughs work in tandem to offer hair that’s smoother and more protected. At home, clients can use the DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner after shampooing with the DAMAGE SHIELD shampoo at home in-between K18 detox shampoo + molecular repair mask days. 

can I use the conditioner instead of the PRO mask?

Well, the mask and conditioner serve two different purposes. The K18 PRO mask reverses damage in 4 minutes, while the K18 conditioner protects hair from daily damage for up to 3 days*. We recommend using the K18 PRO mask first, waiting 4 minutes, then using conditioner for additional softening and detangling benefits in the salon, or at home between K18 mask days.

Now you know how to use the conditioner and mask together in your services. With K18 DAMAGE SHIELD in every salon + at-home routine, hair is clean, protected, and ready for what’s next.
