- Resilience & Vitality: Makes hair more resistant to the friction caused by brushing and heat styling, reducing the risk of mid-length snapping.
- K18PEPTIDE™: A molecular breakthrough that replenishes proteins lost during the daily washing process to maintain core hair strength.
- Biomimetic Polysaccharide Shield: A biotech-produced barrier that defends the hair fiber against pollution and environmental aggressors.
- Fortifying Ceramide Blend: Specifically seals damage sites along the cuticle, smoothing the hair surface and preventing future breakage.
- pH-Optimized (4.0-5.0): Engineered to minimize excess cuticle swelling, which keeps hair smoother and significantly boosts natural shine.
- Clean & Conscious: 100% Vegan, Cruelty-Free, and formulated without silicones, waxes, sulfates, or parabens.
- 1. Cleanse: Wash with K18 Damage Shield Shampoo for the best results.
- 2. Apply: Smooth a small amount of conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. A little goes a long way due to the concentrated formula.
- 3. Rinse: No long wait time is required. Work it through and rinse thoroughly.
- 4. The K18 Mask Rule: On days you are using the K18 Molecular Repair Mask, do NOT use this conditioner first. Apply the mask to clean, damp hair, wait 4 minutes, and then you may apply this conditioner if extra detangling is desired.
Can I use this conditioner instead of the K18 Mask?
They serve different purposes. The K18 Mask is a treatment that reverses damage in 4 minutes, while this conditioner is a daily shield that prevents new damage for up to 3 days. For best results, use the mask for repair and the conditioner for daily protection.
Will this conditioner weigh down fine hair?
Not at all. This formula is a highly concentrated, lightweight gel designed to soften and detangle without film-forming silicones or waxes that typically cause buildup and limpness.
Does this product have SPF for my hair?
While it doesn't have a traditional skin SPF rating, it contains a biotech-produced polysaccharide and ceramide blend clinically proven to minimize the drying and damaging effects of UV rays on the hair cuticle for up to 3 days.
