Why is clean hair important?

Hair happiness starts with the cleanest hair possible. With a clean base, hair color applies more vibrantly, K18 treatments perform more effectively, and styling products work better.

Why are the PEPTIDE PREP™ shampoos different?

Optimized with ideal pH for the hair + scalp environment, only 18 ingredients, no fillers, and the K18PEPTIDE™ to nourish hair while removing buildup, these shampoos are engineered to deliver a superior clean without stripping color or messing with hair + scalp balance. Whether you’re looking for an effective + gentle regular cleanse or a heavy-duty detox—these are the only 2 shampoos you need at the backbar.

What does the peptide in the shampoos do?

K18PEPTIDE™ works as a protective shield to reduce protein loss that can occur during washing to keep hair feeling soft, strong, healthy and clean.

If the shampoos are microdosed with the K18PEPTIDE™, why should I use the K18 leave-in mask?

The microdosed K18PEPTIDE™ acts as a protective shield against protein loss during washing. So while it does leave hair feeling strong, the K18 mask is the full dose of peptide-powered hair renewal from bleach + color, chemical service, and heat damage in the salon. For best results, use the PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo to prep hair for maximum K18 molecular repair.

What do the shampoos smell like?

Both shampoos have a clean citrus scent.
