how to use K18 Mist & Mask with relaxer
K18 is compatible with all professional in-salon services including relaxer services. In just 4 minutes, you can strengthen the canvas you have to work on for the healthiest hair possible. There is no need to add K18 directly into your chemical services or change your developer. K18 will not change tonality or alter your process other than the additional 4-minute waiting period. For best results, reference our dosage chart to determine how much product is needed for your client’s hair type.
P.S. K18 is highly concentrated so a little goes a long way.
