How does the detox shampoo work?

Activated Charcoal absorbs toxins, excess oils, and dirt in the hair and scalp. Salicylic Acid clears sebum buildup in follicles without stripping hair of essential moisture and lipids.

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.
