K-18 Peptide 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 + heat.
It is pH-optimized (5.0-6.0) to help minimize cuticle swelling + put hair proteins in their most resilient state.Creamy formula enables easy, lightweight application across all hair types, with detangling and softening benefits. Its also vegan, color-safe, cruelty-free.

This product repairs damage caused by
- Bleach + Color
- Heat
- Chemical Services
- Takes damage repair further – reconnects both polypeptide chains (and as a result, also reconnects disulfide bonds) for strength along the length + width of the hair - offering comprehensive, lasting damage 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 the patented formula works on a molecular level (where all hair is the same), this product is effective on all hair types
- Shampoo, do not condition. Towel-dry thoroughly
- Apply 1-3 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
- Let sit for 4 minutes. Do not rinse out
- Comb, add product + style as usual. Use for 4-6 washes post-salon service, then as needed
- DO clarify before K18 if you’re 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
- DO use for 4-6 shampoos consecutively for progressive results
- 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
