- Optimized Mask Results: Creates the cleanest possible canvas, allowing repair treatments to bond more effectively to the hair fiber.
- Brilliant Color Clarity: Removes the metallic buildup that causes blonde hair to turn brassy or dark hair to look muddy.
- Scalp Detox: Unclogs hair follicles to promote a healthy scalp environment and a "weightless" feel at the roots.
- Non-Stripping Finish: Leaves hair feeling clean and refreshed rather than "squeaky" or tangled.
- Weekly Reset: Perfect for anyone using heavy styling products, dry shampoo, or living in hard water areas.
- Activated Charcoal: A natural powerhouse that acts like a magnet to absorb toxins, dirt, and excess sebum from follicles.
- Salicylic Acid: Expertly clears follicle-clogging oil without stripping away essential moisture or lipids.
- K18PEPTIDE™: Helps prevent protein loss during the deep-cleansing process to keep hair strong.
- Hard Water Defense: Uniquely targets and removes metals like nickel, lead, zinc, and copper that cause dullness.
- pH-Optimized (3.8–4.2): Specifically designed to be acidic enough for detoxing but gentle enough to keep the cuticle closed.
- 1. Frequency: Swap your regular shampoo for this detox once a week or as needed.
- 2. Massage: Apply to wet hair and massage deeply into the scalp and through the lengths to lift buildup.
- 3. Rinse: Thoroughly rinse with warm water.
- 4. Repeat: If you use heavy styling products or have very hard water, a second wash may be beneficial.
- 5. Pro Tip: Always follow with the K18 Molecular Repair Mask after using this shampoo. Because the Detox Shampoo opens the path so thoroughly, the Mask will provide significantly better results.
Will this shampoo strip my professional hair color?
No. This formula is colour-safe and intentionally pH-optimized (3.8-4.2) to ensure it cleanses the buildup off the hair without opening the cuticle wide enough to wash out your colour molecules.
Can I use this as my daily shampoo?
This is a high-potency "power wash." We recommend using it once a week or whenever you feel heavy buildup. For daily cleansing, we recommend the K18 Damage Shield Shampoo, which is designed for more frequent use.
Why do I need a detox shampoo if I don't use many products?
Even if you use minimal styling products, your hair accumulates minerals and metals from tap water (like copper and iron). These metals can cause hair to become brittle and dull over time; this shampoo removes them to keep your hair healthy and bright.
