K18 Damage Shield, Protect's!

It was amazing on the hair to comb tangle free, having natural curly hair it enhanced the volume, shine and coiled curls. After a few days I used a curl wand to change the style and amazing results lasting two more days!!! Game changer......8)

K18 conditioner

The minute I put the conditioner in my hands, I knew it was going to feel amazing in my hair. It made it so soft but light just like the k18 mask. Amazing product!!

Great for overprocessed hair

After using the damage shield just once, I immediately noticed that my hair dryer quicker. Thats perfect to help save my hair from heating elements. I didn’t notice as many fly away hairs on the top of my head. It appeared smoother, more tame. I would recommend this product to my friends who use a lot of irons and heat in their style.

Mixed feelings

I have mixed feelings about the conditioner. Some of my client's hair felt worse after using it. I followed K18 mask with the Protective Shield and it felt more tangly and less smooth than using K18 alone. On other's hair, I didn't see much difference. I even tried using it without K18mask and it was adequate. My ultimate review is that I don't see a need for it. I'd rather just use K18 mask because the hair feels smoother and improved immediately. Now I can't speak for the results of "3 days of environmental/heat/etc protection." But I do like the idea of that. I'm heavy hearted to give this feedback because I love every single other product from K18 and I use them exclusively in the salon and on myself.
