more to know

  • K18PEPTIDE™ 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*.
  • pH-optimized (5.0-6.0) to help minimize cuticle swelling + put hair proteins in their most resilient state.
  • Cream format enables easy, lightweight application across all hair types, with detangling and softening benefits.
  • Vegan, color-safe, cruelty-free.

key benefits

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 K18PEPTIDE™ works on a molecular level (where all hair is the same), this product is effective on all hair types.

✅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.

got questions?

how does the k18 mask work?

The K18 mask works as a treatment to reverse damage in 4 minutes. It’s powered by our biomimetic K18PEPTIDE™ to seamlessly fit in and reconnect broken polypeptide chains at the molecular level. As a result, disulfide bonds are also reconnected for reinforced strength along the length + width of hair—offering comprehensive, lasting, and progressive repair.

²Results observed as a reduction in copper in scientific-technical testing on hair tresses exposed to contaminated hard water after 1 use of K18  PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo

why skip conditioner?

Conditioner leaves a film that blocks our peptide from penetrating effectively. Once the 4-minute wait time is up, feel free to use a conditioner, a leave-in, or any type of product.

i noticed there’s alcohol in the formula, isn’t that bad for you?

We like to keep our formulas minimal, only using the exact amount of ingredients needed to get the peptide where it needs to go. Here the alcohol serves as an agent to optimize the hair environment for the K18 mask to work on a deeper level. Our unique blend of 3 alcohols functions to open the hair cuticle so the K18PEPTIDE™ can penetrate the innermost layer of hair, reaching the broken polypeptide chains (keratin chains).

when should i expect to see results?

Most see results after 2-3 uses. The more damaged the hair, the more dramatic the results so it may vary depending on your hair type and level of damage.

  • Love this stuff!

    I'm trying to grow out my natural hair which I used to bleach, and this stuff has been a total miracle product! Transitioning away from bleach is usually a nightmare of breakage and split ends, but since adding K18 to my routine, I’ve noticed a massive difference. It actually makes my hair feel stronger, healthier, and way more resilient. It’s significantly cut down on the snap-and-breakage I used to get, allowing me to finally retain some length.

  • Amazing

    True believer in you get what you pay for! This leave in has helped my hair do much after an over processing disaster. Could notice the difference even after one use. I’ve basically gotten rid of regular wash out conditioner and use only this and another one from Redken that I alternate with!

  • Good stuff

    I have very baby fine hair. I have been struggling to find a shampoo and conditioner that will make my hair look, soft and shiny and not weighed down and drab. I've only been using this for two weeks so far so good definite improvement in the texture my hair softer and shinier. I can't use the hair oil because it's too heavy for my hair., I will keep working with it. The molecular hair oil works really well from my daughter's hair and my son. I love how this company gives out decent samples too. It's such a good way to share with other people and then try the product before you wired to see if it works well for you or not.
