what is it
K18
Professional Mist
is a pre-service treatment that strengthens hair before a chemical service. The pH level of 7.5-8.0 shifts the cuticle layer to penetrate hair’s inner cortex and hone in on damage sites.

more to know
Takes damage repair further
 – the biomimetic peptide seamlessly integrates within the hair and reconnects broken polypeptide chains at a molecular level. Disulfide bonds are also reconnected for improved strength along the length and width of hair. This means comprehensive, lasting repair.

Renews hair for better in-salon results
 – chemically-damaged hair is restored and made more resilient for optimal salon transformations. Use before any service for a stronger foundation and to help prevent damage during services.

Resets hair strength and elasticity
 – gives you the opportunity to push transformations further with confidence.

Wait 4 minutes, then apply 1-3 pumps of 
K18 professional molecular repair hair mask

LEARN MORE ABOUT K18

 

hair like new

no matter what you put it through

The award-winning hair care is available in South Africa.

A breakthrough in biosciences

K18PEPTIDE™
was patented after a decade of scanning and testing the 1,242 decapeptides that cover the entire genome of human hair keratin proteins. The
K18PEPTIDE™
is the one unique sequence unlocking the science of transforming damaged hair back to its original, healthy state.

Patented K18 is not just a temporary fix — it’s the first product to utilize biomimetics to reconnect keratin chains once broken by bleach, colour and chemical services, resulting in soft, smooth, strong hair that feels like new. No more worrying about damage sitting in the salon chair. Now you have a healthy, clean canvas of strong hair.

The more damaged the hair, the more dramatic the results.

For
all
hair types, for
every
generation.

Heals hair in

A radically different approach to hair damage.

Until now, hair care products covered up damage with conditioning treatments that coat the hair in oils, bringing superficial hydration and sheen. Repair treatments patch damage like internal glue – strong but brittle — but provide temporary results.

K18 is the first product that 
actually heals your hair from the inside out.
 K18 is clinically proven to undo hair damage caused by chemical services, thermal styling, mechanical styling, and environmental damage.

Damage is
universal
, and now lasting repair can be too.

DON’T JUST HIDE DAMAGE
CONDITIONING
only
conceals damage
Conditioning products simply patch up and hydrate the outer layer of hair without repairing broken bonds in the core. Hair looks and feels smooth, but damage is still there!
DON’T JUST PATCH DAMAGE
REBONDING
only
patches damage
Rebonding treatments repair broken bonds in cortex, but does so like a hard ‘glue’. Hair looks and feels great for a time, but elasticity is not improved, and the effects wash out eventually.
HEAL YOUR HAIR
RENEWING K18
actually
heals damage
K18 repairs and reconnects broken keratin chains, the actual building blocks of hair. Repairs and restores strength, softness, smoothness and bounce. Hair is like new, and these results do not wash out!
