Repairs Damage Caused By

  • Bleach + Color
  • Heat
  • Chemical Services

Takes damage repair further – biomimetic peptide seamlessly fits in and reconnects broken polypeptide chains at the molecular level. As a result, disulfide bonds are also reconnected for reinforced strength along the length + width of hair—offering comprehensive, lasting repair

Restores hair from even extreme damage - by working at the innermost layer of the hair, core strength and elasticity are renewed for strong, smooth, bouncy hair

Delivers immediate and lasting results – hair is repaired from the first use and lasts past your next wash, for ongoing reparative benefits

Simplified repair - convenient, leave-in formula works in just 4 minutes, with no extra rinse required

Works on all hair types – because K18PEPTIDE™ works on a molecular level (where all hair is the same), this product is effective on all hair types and with every service

  • K18PEPTIDE™ is a biotech-developed peptide that mimics hair's structure to reverse damage by reconnecting polypeptide chains and disulfide bonds broken during bleaching, color and chemical services, and heat*.

  • pH-optimized (5.0-6.0) to help minimize cuticle swelling + put hair proteins in their most resilient state after salon service or shampoo

  • Cream format enables easy, lightweight application across all hair types, with detangling and softening benefits.

  • Vegan, color-safe, cruelty-free

  1. Shampoo, do not condition. Towel-dry thoroughly
  2. Apply 3-9 pumps of K18 leave-in molecular repair hair mask based on your length and density, starting at the ends and working up towards the roots
  3. Let sit for 4 minutes. Do not rinse out
  4. Comb, add product + style as usual. Use for 4-6 washes post-salon service, then as needed
  • DO clarify before K18 if your client is a heavy product user (demineralize for mineral + metal buildup)
  • DO apply on clean, damp hair
  • DO wait the full 4 minutes before combing or styling
  • DO add whatever styling products you love after the 4 minutes
  • DON'T use conditioner before applying K18 mask (you can apply after the 4 min but most find they don’t need it)
  • DON'T overdo it—less is more
  • DON'T rinse it out

Peptide-powered treatment to repair damage from bleach, color, and chemical services. pH level of 5.0–6.0 helps close down the cuticle to seal in the K18PEPTIDE™ for renewed strength + elasticity.
Our biomimetic peptide mimics hair’s natural structure to seamlessly fit in and reconnect broken keratin chains responsible for hair’s core strength and elasticity. As a result of this reconnection it also addresses cleaved disulfide bonds for connection along the Y-axis of hair AND the x-axis or width of hair.
Conditioner leaves a film that blocks our peptide from penetrating effectively. Once the 4-minute wait time is up, feel free to use a conditioner, a leave-in, or any type of product.
We like to keep our formulas minimal, only using the exact amount of ingredients needed to get the peptide where it needs to go. Here the alcohol serves as an agent to optimize the hair environment for the K18 mask to work on a deeper level. Our unique blend of 3 alcohols function to open the hair cuticle so the K18PEPTIDE™ can penetrate the innermost layer of hair, reaching the broken polypeptide chains (keratin chains).
Clients can use the K18 mask for the next 4-6 washes at home, then as needed for a boost of strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce.
