do's + don'ts
- DO use a clarifying shampoo if you’re a heavy product or dry shampoo user to remove buildup and help our peptide penetrate and get where it needs to go.
- DO wait the full 4 minutes before styling or applying other product
- DO use every 4-6 shampoos consecutively to see and feel ongoing results
- DON’T condition your hair before application (trust us, most won’t need it after K18, if you still need, add a leave-in after the 4-minute window is up post-application)
- DON’T overuse, a little goes a long way.
- DON’T rinse out. This is a leave-in, so you know, leave it in!

who is it for?
K18 is engineered to work with every hair type, in every service, and with every routine.
why skip conditioner?
Traditional conditioners leave a film on hair 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 styling product.
does K18 mask replace conditioner?
Think of the K18 mask as a highly concentrated treatment. It restores hair’s strength + elasticity in the innermost layers of hair, instead of traditional conditioners that coat the outside of hair. After the 4-minute wait time post-K18 mask, feel free to add a leave-in for a boost of conditioning if needed.
Is the K18 pro mask and take-home mask the same?
Yes, both formulas are the same. The PRO mask is conveniently sized for PRO use.
Repair damage for hair like new* in 4 minutes.
Biomimetic peptide clicks into hair’s keratin structure—the source of core strength—for soft, shiny, bouncy results that won’t wash away.

Using K18 on extensions alone or on clients with previously installed extensions:
K18 is suitable for use on all human hair extensions (to include tape-in, k-tip, hand tied, clip-in, sew-in, etc.). For information on using K18 on clients with previously installed extensions, please follow the instructions for the specific service being performed.
PRO tip: When working on clients with tape-in extensions, we recommend following the standard protocol for cream-based conditioner or oil usage. For best results, do not apply the K18 professional molecular repair hair mask or molecular repair hair oil directly to the weft adhesive or to the natural hair immediately surrounding the adhesive as it could cause slippage.

My hair is bleached and has been through a lot of processing, and K18 is honestly the only product I’ve tried that has made a noticeable difference. My hair feels so much healthier, softer, and more manageable after using it. A little goes a long way, too. Definitely worth it for damaged or bleached hair. I’ll absolutely keep using this! ❤️

I have long, thick, bleached blonde hair. My best friend is a hair stylist, so I always use professional products and have always had beautiful blonde hair! However, I made the mistake of straightening it without a heat protector or leave in, because I was in a hurry one day and I literally fried my hair, because the straightener was on 450*! So I was told by my best friend to use the K18 hair repair mask, but I was hesitant because of the price of the small full size bottle. However ,I trust my hair stylist, so I purchased it. The first time using it I could feel and see a huge difference and I couldn’t believe it? I did have to use 4 pumps because of the length and thickness of my hair, but after 6 times using it in a row and after having a stem cell treatment done, my hair is back to Beautiful! I will definitely continue to incorporate this product into my weekly hair maintenance routine.

I’ve been using this hair mask for a while, and I’m really happy with the results. My hair has become more resilient and much less prone to breakage. It feels softer, smoother, and healthier, with a beautiful shine. My ends look more nourished, and my hair is much easier to brush after every use. I definitely recommend this mask, especially for damaged or color-treated hair. I’ll definitely buy it again!
