FAQs
How often should I use the K18 Leave-in Molecular Hair Repair Mask?
For initial repair, it is recommended to use the K18 Mask for 4-6 consecutive washes. After this intensive treatment phase, you can use it every 3-4 washes, or as needed, to maintain healthy hair.
Do I need to use conditioner before or after the K18 Mask?
No, you should NOT use conditioner before or immediately after the K18 Mask. Conditioner can block the K18PEPTIDE™ from penetrating the hair effectively. Simply shampoo, towel-dry, apply K18, wait 4 minutes, and then proceed with styling.
Is the K18 Mask suitable for all hair types?
Yes, the K18 Mask is formulated to be effective on all hair types, textures, and porosities, including fine, thick, straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair. It's particularly beneficial for hair that has undergone chemical treatments or heat styling.
Can I use other styling products after the K18 Mask?
Yes, after the mandatory 4-minute wait time, you can apply any other styling products, heat protectants, or leave-in treatments you typically use. Do not rinse the K18 Mask out.
What is the K18PEPTIDE™?
The K18PEPTIDE™ is a patented bioactive peptide that works at a molecular level to reconnect broken keratin chains in the hair. This allows it to reverse damage from chemical services, heat, and mechanical styling, restoring hair to a more youthful, healthy state.
Will this mask weigh down fine hair?
No, the K18 Mask is designed to be lightweight and should not weigh down fine hair when used correctly. The key is to use a very small amount (a pea-sized pump is often sufficient for fine hair) and ensure even distribution.
How much product should I use per application?
Start with 1 pump for most hair types. You can use more (up to 3 pumps for very long or thick hair), but always start small as the product is very concentrated. Emulsify in your hands before applying.
Is it safe for color-treated hair?
Absolutely. The K18 Mask is not only safe but highly recommended for color-treated hair. It helps repair the damage often caused by coloring processes and can even help to reduce color fade by restoring the hair's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Hair feels heavy or greasy after use.
This usually indicates too much product was applied. The K18 Mask is highly concentrated. Try using less product (e.g., half a pump) and ensure your hair is properly towel-dried before application. Emulsify the product well in your hands before distributing evenly.
Not seeing immediate or significant results.
Ensure you are following the application instructions precisely: no conditioner before, apply to damp towel-dried hair, and wait the full 4 minutes before applying other products. For extremely damaged hair, consistent use over several washes (typically 4-6 consecutive washes) may be needed to see optimal results. Patience and proper technique are key.
Product is not spreading evenly through my hair.
Make sure your hair is adequately towel-dried to a damp, not dripping, state. Emulsify the product thoroughly in your hands until it turns white before distributing it. For very thick or long hair, you may need to apply in sections, using small amounts per section.
Hair still feels tangled after using the mask.
While the K18 Mask helps prevent tangling, severely damaged hair may still have some tangles. Ensure even distribution, especially on the ends. After the 4-minute wait time, you can follow with a lightweight detangling spray or a small amount of leave-in conditioner if needed, though K18 aims to eliminate the need for conditioner.
