K18 isn’t a conditioning treatment—it’s a scientifically advanced bond-building system that works at a molecular level to permanently repair hair damaged by bleach, color, chemical services, and heat. Using patented peptide technology, K18 transforms hair from the inside out, restoring strength, softness, and resilience in just 4 minutes.

WHAT MAKES K18 DIFFERENT? THE K18 PEPTIDE™

WHAT MAKES K18 DIFFERENT? THE K18 PEPTIDE™After 10 years of research, scientists created a biomimetic peptide small enough to penetrate the hair’s inner layers and reconnect broken keratin chains—the building blocks of strong, healthy hair.

Unlike traditional bond builders that temporarily coat or smooth the hair, K18 reverses damage permanently with continued use.

 

FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS OF K18

REPAIRS BLEACH + COLOR DAMAGE

What it does:

• Reconnects broken keratin chains caused by lighteners and color
• Restores strength, softness, and elasticity

Why it matters:
Bleaching disrupts the core structure of the hair. K18 repairs that damage at the molecular level so your blonde clients can stay light and bright—without breakage.

reverses heat + mechanical damage

What it does:

• Repairs internal damage from flat irons, blow dryers, and brushes
• Reinforces internal strength with each use

Why it matters:
K18 helps daily hot tool users maintain long-term hair integrity—especially when used as part of a consistent care routine.

SMOOTHES + SOFTENS WITHOUT COATING

What it does:

• Leaves hair silky and frizz-free
• No heavy buildup, waxes, or silicones
• Weightless finish, great for all hair types

Why it matters:
Unlike masks or oils that mask damage, K18 creates true transformation without altering texture or weighing hair down.
