K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask has a patented K18Peptide that works to repair broken hair strands due to bleach, color, chemical services, and heat in just four minutes. The peptides reach the innermost layers of the hair’s cuticles and bonds them to restore strength and elasticity. The one thing you should know unlike other leave-in masks is that this formula is extremely concentrated.
I’ve been advised by my hair stylist that 1 pump evenly massaged into the damage parts of my hair is all I need. Overusing it, will overload hair causing it to be weighed down, hair will look greasy, and cause more dryness. So use this only for damaged areas and use your regular wash-off hair mask for all over conditioning. Works on all hair types. Vegan. Color-safe. Cruelty-free

K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask is available in a full size 1.7 oz/ 50 mL or mini size 0.5 oz/ 15 mL bottle with pump dispenser. This pump is nice in that I can do half pumps if I do not need a full pump. There is a subtle floral scent. Instructions advise to shampoo and do not condition prior to using this product. Work product into damaged hair and wait 4 minutes before styling or adding styling products.
In the past I overused heated tools on my hair and have been trying to use bond building products to repair the damage. I use this twice a week on washed towel damp hair. It has a soft pillowy creamy texture that practically melts and disappears into hair. I was blown away with the K18 leave-in mask after the third use. The damaged areas that looked dry, crunchy, & frizzy were completely smoothed out and super soft.
It’s like magic in a bottle. To maximize the treatment, I follow up with a few drops of the K18 Molecular Repair Hair Oil to improve shine and further reduce frizz/flyaway hairs. The leave-in mask is very light weight and I can’t even feel or see the product which is great. A little product goes along ways and I’ve already seen improvements. It is a splurge but completely worth the investment for what my hair needs.
