pros using K18
how K18 works
Traveling into the innermost layers of hair, our K18PEPTIDE™ renews strength along the width AND length of hair for lasting strength where it matters.
have questions? we have answers.
who is K18 PRO mist for?
K18 PRO mist is engineered to work with every hair type, in every service, and with every routine.
why is the PRO mist used before chemical services?
K18 PRO mist is typically used before chemical services to set clients up for success, renewing existing damage for the strongest canvas to create on. In cases of extreme damage or fine hair, the PRO mist renews hair without weighing it down
why do I mist hair with water before using the PRO mist?
Water will swell the cuticle layers to open up the hair fiber and allow for maximum penetration of the PRO mist into the innermost layers of hair. In the same way a damp sponge absorbs more water, damp hair absorbs K18PEPTIDE™.
how much PRO mist do I use?
You can apply 6-12 sprays of K18 PRO mist per quadrant based on length and density of your client’s hair. Hair should feel slightly damp.
do I need both PRO mist + mask?
Made to amplify each other, using the K18 PRO Service ensures the best results by doubling down on the K18PEPTIDE™ and renewing hair to like new strength and elasticity.
